Got the lend of some stilts next week, marshaltown skywalker, i have tried stilts before and didnt get on with them, the lad whos stilts they are says these have more springs and move more like part of hour leg/foot. I think the ones I had while where cheap in comparison also where the tall ones. How do people get on with them and what are the rst marshaltown ones like as googling skywalker stilts they seem to discontinued.
Cheers

Not a fan of the Skywalker stilts. Have a friend who loves them though. They do adjust quickly and the snowboard style clamps are nice but they're much heavier than my sur-stilts pro S2s, and I don't think they are nearly as stable.

This is what I use and highly recommend.

I couldn't use them there horrible to walk on compared to the normal ones hence why there discontinued.

That said my old apprentice used to use them and I think they are better made than the normal ones but I and many others didn't like them to actually walk with.

i got the medium ones plus the big f**k**s and I prefer them to the old style purely cause they don’t pull on your legs, much more comfy
 
Can reach ceilings 3.2ish m on them

Fair play I do think there better made, I couldn't get on with them though.

That said I haven't used any now for over 10years as they were knackering up my knees.

Not went down yet. Close a time or two. Plastering in tiled floor always fun. Or that plastic some them have on floorboards now.

My brother walked off a Jones homes site last week for a firm called redrose dryling.
Over not doing a week in hand.

He skimmed around 30 plots for them ....then they decided to pull that shiit.

He said he'd go back once he got his £1350.
They paid him this morning and voicemailed saying it's gone in.

Must of called him and text about 15 times today.

The gang of boarders on his new site were taking videos of my brother skimming and sending it to redrose boss shouting lost your best skimmer ya c**t on snap chat all day lol.
 
I got a try of then mashalltown qlt slywalkers 1.0 from gumtree, took me ages to get the confidence to even try a pair think they are 6 year old? Theyre blue? Anyway im miles behind the new tools crack but i think theyre 5 years old, really like them though! Might look at getting a new pair myself
