Thank you Mark, mine has been a comedy of errors since it was delivered. I had a terrible time getting it out of the box without it telescoping all over the place. I haven't quite won that wrestling match yet...
Interesting how nobody wants to climb to the top of these when fully extended upwards lol. I have the 5m version. I've managed to get up onto the first rung above the pivot point but no further (and that's after i put it across two wooden benches in the horizontal position to test it's strength a bit). The problem I've found is that because it flexes you have to have the base quite far out - which feels wrong. So far I've actually been okay though - and it's on grass but the next problem is that the higher you go, the wider the side tubes get - as you're climbing to the bottom of the other side which has the wider tubes. Holding onto those is problematic because they get a lot wider while the rungs get narrower.
I HAVE GONE ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP AND I WIEGHT 180 TO 200 POUNDS... JUST DONT USE IT IN THE A FRME POSITION INLESS ITS IN THE FULL EXTENDED HIGHTH.. READ REVIEWS YOU WILL FALL IF YOU DONT STRAP THE STEPS THAT ARNT EXTENED BOTH SIDES OF LADDER IN ORDER TO NOT FALL FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS... LADDER WORKS FINE IN EXSTENTION LADDER POSITION
@@marksarauer4971 OKAY MATE THATS GREAT I'LL SHOUT BACK AT YOU TOO WITH ALL MY CAPITALS!!!! SERIOUSLY WHY USE ALL CAPITALS MAN? - NO NEED FOR IT, IT'S CONSIDERED RUDE AND ANNOYING. BTW since i posted that comment i've got to the top several times.
Hi Mark. A fellow tradesman had a smiliar ladder on a job yesterday. Great idea. The only thing I found was that the treads when vertical are level but once leaned against a surface they were angles making it uncomfortable to stand on whereas my extension ladder has angled treads so once leaned they are level. What is it like standing on these?
Hi, i bought one of these ladders from amazon, i have a problem that maybe you can help me with. when i use it as a fold lader at the hight of 4 feet high and more the steps does not lock in place, the folded part yes but not the steps so when i go up on it and lean forward the steps are not lock in place so the un rised steps lifts up making this dangerours to a point i am about to return it. is there a trick to stop the non lift steps to raise?
Hi Great Review, But just a question can you use yours say at half height when in the A frame position ??? as mine are extremely dangerous and the bottom segments dont lock when collapsed , do yours ??? thanks
Did you ever solve this? I have the same problem. I want to use it indoors with low ceilings so cannot have the A frame fully Extended. It is very dangerous if I do that.
@chris veall hi chris, i have learnt that you need to step higher than the collapsed section then its stable as your weight is above it , but to be doubly sure i have a luggage strap ratcheted around the collapsed sections to stop them extending i did use a velcrostap which worked ok but mine was a little soo short ... its such a pitty they dont lock as there a great idea, and storage saving idea. but i must admit the 5m ones i got were heavier then i thought
MINE DOES THE SAME THING THEY ARE JUNK.... YOU HAVE TO PUT A HUMENS WAIST BELT AROUND THE STEPS THAT ARNT BEING USED !!!!! IT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON BOTH SIDES / BOTH SETS OF STEPS THEN IT WONT FALL FORWARD OR BACKWARDS I ALMOST HURT MYSELF BAD HITTING OUR 65" TV AND I AM ALSO ON BLOOD THINNERS SO IF I WOULD OF CUT MYSELF BAD I COULD OF DIED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUY A WERNER LADDER THATS WHAT I DID THE SELLER I BOUGHT THIS LADDER FROM WILL NOT HELP YOU WITH A REFUND ON THIS PIECE OF SHIT
@@harlechclose PUT A HUMENS WAIST BELT AROUND BOTH SETS OF STEPS THAT ARNT BEING USED !!!!!
