Wel I hade my Telescopic laddre for 5 years and it is worn out preety much and trying to decide if I get a new model or not. Just trying to get some feedback. Looking at the prices they do vary quite a bit from one company to another same ladder. Nick pushes RE Williams and they are the higher in price by almost $100.00 when compare to Toolup.com

I switched to the Extend and Climb from the Telesteps. It seems to be made a little stouter. All ladders are dangerous, be careful out there.

How big of a step is it to go over that. What I mean is are the rungs still equally spaced at that point |

I have a 26' Little Giant that stays in the garage. I almost strictly use a 14.5' widestep Telesteps, 300lb version. I would never use one that was not a widestep version, 300 lb version. Makes all the difference to me.
And opening the ladder as shown with the steps bunched at the bottom is contrary to mfrs. instructions. It is a safety issue. But then motorcycles aren't made to be parked on their side either.....

My Little Giant stays home, while my Telesteps goes to work every day. I like the LG, but it's too heavy and doesn't stow nearly as well as the telescoping ladders. I've used mine for years and have replaced the feet and bumpers multiple times. Never had any kind of problem with it.
