Our take on the Werner 378 Step Ladder

The Werner 378 is an 8 ft aluminum stepladder with a 300 lb duty rating, built for one person working at height on jobsites and around the house. Its TOOL-TRA-TOP holds a drill, small parts and paint tools, and a spill-proof pail shelf with a rag rack folds shut with the ladder. Traction-Tred steps are double riveted and slip resistant, and Pinch-Proof spreaders make it easy to open and close. It is heavier and taller than a 6 ft household ladder, so it suits people who need reach and a stable platform rather than a compact step stool.

What reviewers say

Owners of Werner fiberglass and aluminum stepladders generally rate the line highly for stiffness and stable footing, and the 378's tool top and pail shelf are the features most often called out as useful on painting jobs. Complaints tend to focus on the ladder's size and weight when moving it around rather than on its strength.

About the Werner 378 Step Ladder

Questions and answers

Is the Werner 378 tall enough to reach a standard ceiling?
At 8 ft, a person of average height standing near the top can reach most 9 to 10 ft ceilings for light work. Werner advises against standing on the top cap or the step above it for anything but the intended top step.
What is the duty rating and what does it include?
The rating is 300 lb, which covers the user plus tools and materials. That puts it in Werner's Type IA class, above typical household ladders.
Does the pail shelf hold a full gallon of paint?
Yes. The spill-proof shelf is designed for a gallon paint can and has a rag rack, and it closes automatically when the ladder folds.
How does it compare with a fiberglass ladder?
Aluminum is lighter for the same size and will not absorb paint or solvents, but fiberglass does not conduct electricity. For work near wiring, a fiberglass ladder is the safer choice.
Can one person set it up?
Yes. The Pinch-Proof spreaders let you open and lock it from the front, though the 8 ft length means you need clear space to tip it upright.
Where is the Werner 378 Step Ladder cheapest?
At Jamaica Hardware & Paints, for $291.91, as of our latest check.
