I love to sit on them on the roof and watch my guys work. Haha. But seriously, I find them best as a place to rest tools and boxes of product. My installers don't like to constantly move them around to stand on them. I did use them on a 12/12 pitch 5V metal roof job once, and they were viable, but I would not trust my life to them. We don't see many pitches above 7/12 around here. Again, moving them around on a 12/12 pitch proved to be too much effort. It was easier relying on rails as a foothold once the first rail was up.
But I like the product. It has its place.
