I'm thinking of buying the 3 point window cleaning A-frame ladders, my question is, are they worth it, or just stick with my usual ladders.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Very few tradders in my area have A-frames most of the old schoolers have standard 4 point ladders. I could see an a-frame being a problem if you are looking to do gutters also.
Really? I would have thought the narrow top would have given less allowance on gutter jobs, thinking narrower top less support for your body and only one point to put your hands ? if it works for you greatWe are wfp now but when we were trad we had and still have Ramsey pointer ladders in 3, 3:5 ,4 and 5 meter double pointers , they are far safer than a normal ladder and can be pitched safely on uneven ground where a normal ladder cannot be , they take a bit of getting used to but we wouldn’t use anything else , thouroughly recommend them .
We use pointers for gutter access if we cannot do it with the vac , very good ladder don’t knock it untill you have used one far safer .

Not the best thing for a trad guy to say ?thought I'd take the plunge.
What length ramsay do you have dude they look quite light those ramsays, the heaviest being 23.5 kg. Our triples only reach 1/2 mtr higher and are 30kg i hate having to use all 3 sections and its certainly not possible without my brother too bloomin heavyThree points of contact will always be better as it won’t slip or slide and when cleaning windows the ladder can be pitched into a corner giving more access to the window and frame , I started trad with a normal ladder and a friend lent me one of his Ramsey pointers , after a couple of days I didn’t want to give it back , so bought my own brilliant ladders
