Luisladders 12.5 FT Aluminum Telescoping Extension Ladder: Perfect for Multi-Purpose Use

choss_mountainchoss_mountain: The media could not be loaded.  I REALLY wanted to love this ladder. Given the high cost of these extension-style of ladders, I was really hoping that this one would be heavy duty, reliable, and well-constructed. To be honest, weight was not my primary concern with the ladder, as I would much rather have a heavier ladder if that translated into a safer ladder.

Upon receipt, it was apparent that this ladder had some weight to it, but not necessarily in a bad way. The click down red tabs are nice and provide a good visual indicator that the ladder is (or isn't) locked in place. To be honest, I appreciate that feature more than the small cutout green indicators seen on some other models. The ladder has some, but not too much flex when in use, and to be honest I'm okay with that ("what doesn't bend, breaks", after all).

Now to the not so great.... There are two primary issues I ran into with this ladder.

1. There are plastic clips on either side of the ladder, which secure each telescoping section of tube to the next section. These are grasped when extending the ladder. It wasn't until after I tried out the ladder for the first time that I realized that one...

achaz: I was tired of always looking for a ladder to get to the roof of my camper or just to look at the top of my slide out. This ladder is so light and easy to use. I can store it in the back of my pick up that I pull the camper with. It would also fit in the storage compartment of the camper. It was a great buy.

anita m george: Looks exactly like the picture. Works well. Seems to be sturdy enough for a 120 lb woman that’s 5 ft tall. Really good price on sale Black Friday.
My neighbor did say he wouldn’t trust it . He said it didn’t seem stable enough and he liked the ladders that made V.
I do to but this is a ladder and it works well enough to get me on top of my RV. Whole reason I got it.

KB: Was skeptical, but it's actually quite sturdy. I'd only worry about it slipping out due to the wrong pitch, but I think if I get a little rug under its feet I can fix that. Quite happy with it...hope it lasts a long time. FYI: Much lighter than my Little Gia...but again, we're not comparing apples to apples.

Al G: My telescoping ladder just arrived and I did some initial testing with it. I can’t speak to long term durability, nor can I speak to heavy use wear and tear.

My purpose for this ladder is simply to provide easy access to my shed loft while giving me the ability to toss up a light ladder for quick up and down projects. I have a Harbor Freight Vulcan ladder, but that’s fairly heavy. If I just need to hop up on the roof to clean gutters, I’d rather not have to drag that thing across my yard and unfold it.

My initial testing has been as follows:

1. Setup and takedown are as easy as can be. It’s simple to configure the height of the ladder to suit your needs (up to 10’).

2. The weight of this ladder is very manageable. At 20 lbs, anybody should be able to place this just where they want it without difficulty.

3. Function is where this ladder starts to underperform. If the ladder is completely vertical (say going up to an attic or a loft) and your weight is completely vertical, the ladder is quite sturdy. The farther off vertical you get, the more this ladder flexes. I placed the ladder against one of my trees and began to climb up and found...
