Standing on an extension ladder rung for a long pull or a fixture swap puts all the pressure on your shins and knees against the rails. The Rack-A-Tiers Shin Mate 65200 is a padded shin guard that clips onto an extension ladder, giving you a place to brace your legs for better balance and less fatigue. It was designed by a tradesman for electricians, painters, carpenters and window washers who spend hours up a ladder.
Why trades pick it
- Takes stress off knees, shins and legs during long ladder work.
- Gives a steadier brace point, which helps balance when both hands are busy.
- Clips on and off, so it can move between ladders or come off for transport.
- Waterproof, job-site tough construction.
- Compact at 12 x 3 x 2 in and under half a pound, so it lives in the truck.

Pro tip from the counter
Unclip the Shin Mate before you raise or lower the fly section. Left on the ladder, it can snag the rung locks or the other section as it slides past, and you don't want to be wrestling with it while the fly is only half-locked.
Best for: electricians pulling wire overhead, painters and drywall finishers, window washers, maintenance techs doing long relamping jobs
