They seemed like a good idea at the time to a 20-something wannabe.
Anybody else experience this lapse in judgement?

Those are steps you put on bare studs.
You guys are good. Since the day I picked these up, I've never seen them anywhere again. Didn't know if they ever got mainstream. Guess I coulda covered the label seeing as how most of you can read.
Like I said, they seemed like a good idea at the time, but I can't recall ever using them once. Just dragged them around from state to state, job to job.
Best use I found was for hanging up my bags at lunch.Live in the solution, not the problem.
Clamp them up high & hang by your hands at break time to get the kinks out of your back...
That's the best use I've heard so far.Live in the solution, not the problem.
It says quick-step right on the side. Hook it to a stud to step up.

oh so wrong, Kemo Sabe.
The term QuikStep is just to sales term to advertise the ease of use.
Those are a kickin'mean strong set of shower curtainrod holders you can hang off if you need.
I never had a problem with character, people've been telling me I was one ever since I was a kid.
I have something similar- five of them, in fact. Very handy thing to have where setting up a ladder is just about impossible and probably more dangerous than those.
