Folding/Telescoping Ladders


So, have any of you used the more expensive folding or telescoping ladders like the ones sold -HERE- ?

Are they strong? How about warranty concerns? Has anybody broken one or had one get bent on them? How did the manufacturer respond to your "claim" ?


thanks for your help...

Re: Folding/Telescoping Ladders


Sorry thw420... I had to edit your post and changed to link to this site: http://www.protooldepot.com/search.p...rs+&Mode=tools

Wasn't sure if that was your site or not which if it was would be against our posting rules.
Same ladders for sale on the updated linke. Thanks!

Re: Folding/Telescoping Ladders


I've seen the infomercials for the "Little Giant" and it looks really enticing, but am also curious if anyone actually has seen or used one in real life. The infomercial is actually quite entertaining and I am quickly filling my garage with ladders. $360 is just a bit steep.

Re: Folding/Telescoping Ladders


I bought a few of them. Top quality. Willing to pay shipping? Have both types.
Heavy, weak and unreliable depending on which one you are asking about.
IMHO go with the tried and true standards.
