Review on πŸ”— Maximize Storage Space with Racor Tornado Ladder Extended L Hook by Brian Garrett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Okay, but slightly better mounting hardware could have been used.

We hung a 21-foot Small Giant Skyscraper on these hooks. You have no problem with the weight of the stairs. The hooks themselves are decent quality - rubber coated hooks with a metal mount (aluminum or other metal pot I think). The only thing that bothers me is the mounting hardware. They come with a hybrid piece for drywall and wood. That's probably enough, but I ended up using some 3" wood screws instead of the hardware that came with the kit to secure the hooks. Most of this hardware comes with a drywall anchor and a screw that fits into the anchor; I would like that with this product too. As a plus (maybe?), the orange hooks go really well with the orange little giant. So if you're worried about color matching your stairs, you've got this. For her. Edited April 2016: I bought another set to hang another small giant ladder. As always, bring another sturdy lag bolt or mounting kit and you'll be fine; Self tapping screws that come with the solution not so good to be honest. I have attached some photos of these ladders installed and hanging from them. Note that the top screw is a significantly heavier 3/8 inch socket wrench hex screw. There are no complaints, except for the poor quality of the mounting screws.

Pros
  • Tools and household items
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
