After my near death experience with Telesteps, I will not use anything but my Gorilla Folding, or my Werner Fiberglass step ladders for short heights, attic access, etc.

the Gorilla, Cosco and Werner are very very similar products, but i believe the Werner is the most affordable.

Now those Extend N Climb are not bad, I tried Brians, it is much heavier and sturdier than the Telesteps, if I was going to buy an extendable type, that would be my choice.
