Telesteps Anyone

[Brian E. Kelly]

I bought a 14 1/2' Telesteps ladder at the ITA convention, just arrived and used it for the first time today. I like it.

Nice...was it expensive?

[Brian E. Kelly]

$250.00 at the convention Brian including shipping. Other guys here were swearing by them so I thought I would give it a try.

I use a fold out ladder that makes into a 6 ft step
ladder or a 12' stand up ladder.

They run about $120 - $140

Would'nt leave home without it.

Ouch! Certainly looks like a good idea. What is its weight? Extention?

I've got one of these but it does not work well in the house. And it's about 40 Lbs

I have something like the fold out but its extending rather than folding other than the center. 6foot standard and also a 12 feet extension. Maybe more. Need something taller though. With most houses around here having basements that means the first floor footing is a 1-4feet above grade which means the roof is mighty tall. Too often I'm barely reaching the roof. Yeah I know, its dangerous.

Peter although I do not have any real data, I would bet that ladders injure more HI's than anything else. Be very carefull on your ladder.

[psiposs]

Probably true and I know this. Often I can use the porch as a base but not always. For the moment thus far I simply can't put anything larger in my car. The telescoping type does not allow for something inside like opening an attic opening or otherwise in the center of a room without leaning on a wall.

[Brian E. Kelly]

I bought the telescoping ladder specificaly for attic hatches Peter. You just pop open the hatch with the ladder.

I have one of those Brain, I just wish it went to 16 feet. That apart it is a great tool

Foldout ladders are a big liability inside a house. These telescoping ladders fit under your arm.
Just watch when you close them, they'll give you a blood blister! Even if you know it's coming!

Ouch.....must be a different ladder.... (Benefit of the doubt for you BK...)
