I was at Target this weekend and they have this 12' tall collapsing ladder
by the brand "UP-UP". Very light and easy to carry. I extended about 6
feet of it leaned it against a shelf and stepped on the first rung trying
to get a feel how sturdy it is and a store clerk came running to me and
asked me to step down as "it's not safe".

So there is no easy way to test out this ladder. It is easy to carry
which is a big plus and takes up hardly any space.

It's priced at $99.99 (or so I thought) but searching on Target's website
it's priced at $199.99...so it could be the price on the shelf was
mislabeled...I am not sure.

Anyone has any experience (good or bad) on these collapsable aluminum
ladders?


I have a 15' Extend and Climb brand. It is a little on the heavy side, but
very solid and sturdy. One thing is that you can't lean the vertical tubes
against anything as they could deform and screw up the collapse function.
You must lean a rung against a surface. Telesteps is another brand which is
cheaper. Take a look on Ebay.
