Home Depot Scaffolding MetalTech I-CISCH1

Unboxing and setup of a METALTECH I-CISCH1 scaffolding. I purchased two of these scaffolding sets to add some safety to my inside cleaning chores.
If you have any comments, please leave them below.
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it.

You appear to have a pair of very willing and competent helpers!

What a great crew, it’s a great learning experience for kids to learn to read & follow directions, even if the directions may need to be interpreted & tweaked. I really appreciated the box sizing for transporting. I’m just glad my ceilings aren’t as tall. I like you’re attitude regarding those who question your abilities. The ladder & ceiling fan installation convinced me you made the right investment. Thank you for video.

[@RazorBucks]

Thank you for watching our video and giving us a positive feedback! My wife feels very comfortable on the scaffolding herself, as she has been using it to annually clean the fan, paint our fireplace, and wipe down the high walls & windows. She's already requested I purchase another set to add on to the existing one.

Hey I appreciate the video I have 14 ft ceilings and my drywall buddy is 6'8ft so I'll be good to go on this For everybody else wanting detailed information my suggestion would be to go to the manufacturer's site

[@bibliaonline9318]

por quanto sai um desses ai amigo?

[@abubaseet]

so Razor Bucks, what about carrying things up to it and installing something, like a heavy painting? Also, you immediately noticed the Box 1 and Box 1, not to mention the really thin and general instructions. Were they enough to explain the 2 Box 1's and put everything else together? It seems more complicated than what was in that think pamphlet. Also, can you add on to the height with an additional set?

[@RazorBucks]

I use it for my ceiling fan regular. The fan is at the 16' level approximately. I think it would be a lot easier to hang a picture using this scaffolding, because you can be right on the wall. I am using two 6' sets combined together, but I would strongly advise against going any higher without outriggers. You can purchase a safety top with fencing, if you are concerned about being up so high without any gating. I agree with the difficulty in bringing things up, but if you are using more than one set, you should place what ever you need to bring up on the first platform and then climb on the inside to the second platform with smaller items like paint. For larger items, you need to have your spotter help you lift it up on the side, with you on the top platform and your helper on the first platform. It was somewhat difficult to build, but not really that bad, I would put it at a 2.5 out of 5 for difficulty. It can be done alone, but a helper will make things go so much easier. The directions were not great, but easy enough to figure out what the goal was. Keep the box, the pictures will help on the parts where the manual is deficient.

[@brewster102]

How in the world do you get the 2nd unit on top of the first? Seems like you would need olympic weightlifters

[@RazorBucks]

It is easiest with two people. Leave the flooring off when putting it on.

[@ladypineapples3995]

I am buying one tomorrow. I am going to see if my 13 year old helper is going to master the art of server-tudr🤣😂😂🤣

[@RazorBucks]

Both the scaffolding and a good helper are definitely worth their weight in gold. Please do keep in mind that the floor pass through is not the greatest and does not open very far. I contacted metal tech and was told the engineers designed it that way for a reason. When I pressed about safety and it not opening all the way / having to hold it open to pass through, I received no valid response. I always climb on the outside of mine, but not everyone wants to do that, especially when you are 12’ in the air. I like them, but I also want to be honest about their flaw.

So much you covered that was not necessary and so much you left out. Like how many can you stack on each other, how stable is it the higher you go, What about using on stairs?

[@RazorBucks]

Nothing covered was unnecessary, we had fun with this video and that is why we make the videos we make. @2:10 you will see that 3 units can be stacked. @12:23 I said it is stable. Do you really need me to demonstrate using the stairs?

My Helpers are busy, lol

[@jamessilverman4887]

I just purchased this system from Home Depot. I bought two as well. I have not set them up yet. How stable does it feel? With one and with two? I bought the outriggers and the safety side rails as well. Can I touch the ceiling 20 feet with two? I have several light fixtures, fans and painting to do in my new home.

[@RazorBucks]

It is a matter of personal comfort, I feel very safe, but my wife panics at slight movements on the second tier, but she is comfortable on the first tier. I cannot reach peak of my ceilings with two units. With outriggers and a safety platform, I think you will feel safe and confident.

[@dralf2020]

James, I just bought two of these to reach my 20' gutters, but no-go. I had to go back and purchase a 3rd buck to reach it.

[@jamessilverman4887]

I saw they make a 39” extension to go onto the last full scaffold. I bought this and hope it won’t be too high for my 20 foot ceiling. Now I need to know which outrigger set would be best?

[@NeverEnoughPyro40]

@@dralf2020 Why would you think you could reach 20Ft with just 2 of these? They are 6Ft each so that makes 12ft! You would have to be like 7 Ft tall to reach 20'! If you could not figure out that two of those would not let you reach the gutters before you purchased them, I do recomend you try and do anything challenging!

[@johndavis7078]

I haven't bought my scaffold yet and was considering this model. But what would have been useful to me is how did you like it after the job? Was it stable? Did it sway? Easy to disassemble? Or did you just leave it as part of the furniture? (Kidding) Would you buy that same scaffold again if you needed to replace it? So... what did you THINK of it and would you buy it again?

[@RazorBucks]

Very easy to use. I think it is stable, but you may have a different feeling for stability than I, it does wiggle a little when walking around. I use it a few times per year and do not regret buying it.

[@RazorBucks]

All in all, it works as expected; easy, but of course somewhat heavy, to assemble. It doesn't really sway, as long as you're on an flat leveled hard surface. I plan on purchasing another one, to add on to the existing one, so that my wife can use it when ever she wants.

[@ayila4903]

Thanks for the vid... how tall would you stack these before you get extra feet for more stability? I have 3.

[@RazorBucks]

Three would be the max and if I recall correctly, it might the manufactures recommendation for outriggers when stacking more than two. However, you know your abilities and comfortablility(sp?) at heights best. I would also consider the guardrail too, it is a long way down from a stack of three.

[@ayila4903]

@@RazorBucks Okay so if I stack 3 but have no extra feet it's not just going to fall over?

[@RazorBucks]

Aliya Widener I would not think so, so long as you have everything assembled correctly, but that is just my opinion. Are you on solid level ground / floor? Be sure to lock your wheels, move slowly, and have a spotter. I personally would not feel comfortable having two people on top, I think that would be inviting danger without outriggers and a safety platform.

that just looks terrifying. i had to make myself go 4 steps on an 8 footer a few days ago and well i'm afraid of heights..it just isn't fun.

[@RazorBucks]

For me, it really is a lot better than the ladder, I feel more secure. But I climb water towers, so I am fairly comfortable with heights. Just take it one step at a time.

[@thelaughingman79]

i'd feel better about climbing a water tower more so than a 20ft ladder thats not mounted to anything.

[@RazorBucks]

LOL. Until the ladder starts flexing after the mid-way point, it is no problem. However, once I get to the top, I start telling myself I am way to fat to be at the top of the ladder.

Because I have a lot of jobs to do with this, it breaks down nicely, I do not consider it a death trap, getting a scissor lift inside my house would be extremely difficult, and the cost associated with renting one far exceeds the cost of these two units.

[@timothystout5534]

Very disappointed. I bought one of these. I did not like the trap door opening at all. The design is poor. The door opening is limited by a flexible strap which is not long enough for the door to stay open. The only way to keep it open is to use one of my hands. Then I only have one hand left to climb up the sides for a ladder. Impossible for a straight up ladder. I watched the video to see how you went through the door, because I can''t figure it out. You didn't show this. It shows how to open the door. Next you are on top. How did you get through it? Why didn't you show this, the most critical part? I have ended up using a ladder which mounts on the end. I tie it to the scaffolding at the top with bailing wire so it won't slip. I then drilled holes in a 2x4 to mount a support pole to help me transition from the ladder to the scaffolding floor, which is about a foot below the top--low enough so that the top cross beam is awkwardly high. The scaffold is nice, but it has a lot of drawbacks. I had hoped your video would have showed how to solve one of then and that issue, as important as it is, was not shown. A thumbs up if you had shown this, but as it is, a thumbs down.

[@RazorBucks]

Thank you for the comment. I never use the pass-through door, I always climb up from the side. I agree with the door strap, it is way too short. I am sorry you thumbs down on a manufacturing issue, that I agree with you on. However, as I said, I do not use it, but my children do and I hold it open for them.

Don't remove the old at all. Just mark where your rafters are and install the new drywall right over (under!) the old! Kind of smart when you think about it. Saves a ton of overhead labor.
