This Step ladder was purchased as a time saver to use with another one I already owned. By putting a staging plank across two steps (bottom or middle-NOT top) I could work on an eight foot ceiling easily without a lot of up/down agravation. This step ladder is very well made, I feel very comfortable using it and highly recommend it, especially in pairs with a plank. It will definitely increase productivity.

I purchased the Werner 2-foot Aluminum Step Stool to replace an old stool.
This is a very strong and balanced step stool which even allows one to stand on the top step if need be.

I'm no little person my self but I have had a few "big boys" use it too. I currently weigh about 240lb 5'-11" and when I got it I was around 270. Even back then it never once felt like it was going to slip, twist, break or be anything other then a rock steady step latter on every kind of level surface. Some of the people that used it I'm more then certain exceed it's weight limits even without the tools they where carrying. It's vary light, I can easily put it in the back of a van or put it in a corner with one arm (though I'm not a "weak" person ether :p). I can't emphasize enough of how sturdy it is, every thing about it is heavy duty yet still light. As other reviews have stated it is a bit narrow but it more then makes up for that in how confident I fell when I'm up on it.

I'm really not one to make a statement like this, but if your a bigger person and need a 2 foot ladder that's never going to wobble on a flat surface (or even one that's not all that flat) and is light weight buy this one. Don't waste time comparing others, just get it... Lowes or home depot may be a better price, but I would easily pay around $50 if I wasn't able to get it from a store.

P.S.
I'm not to happy on the price of the two side (below) but every thing I said about this one is 100% true for this one as well. I don't own it but I have used one.
Werner T372 Type1A 300-Pound Duty Rating Aluminum Twin Stepladder, 2-Foot

Pros: Sturdy, great price for what you get!

Cons: This is the most horrible ladder to use for more than a few minutes at a time! After standing on it (not the very top, the lower 2 steel steps), it starts to kill my feet! I tried using my mom's ladder to compare and her ladder did not do this and just felt more like a real ladder!

Could be me, but compared again to my mom's ladder, my balance on this one was not the best. I felt like I would fall!

the ladder was perfect, just what i was looking for. great for small jobs on the outside of the house.

Before I go into my review, please read the information about this step stool. Take out a tape measure so that you understand its dimensions. There is nothing more annoying than reading negative reviews about excellent products because the reviewer didn't read the description of the product.

That being said, these are the pros and cons of this Werner:
Pros:
1. Weight limit - This has a 300 pound weight limit. Other similar sized products are rated at 200 pounds or less. Actually, they advertise they can reach up to 200 pounds but I know that to be inaccurate. I am 220 pounds and I go up and down on this all the time and the legs don't splay or creak.

2. Heavy Duty - This Step stool does not have to be babied. It can take a beating.

3. Rust Free - It is made of Aluminum so this will stay with you for a very long time as long as no one steals it from you.

4. Lightweight - I put this on the top shelf of my rack in my garage and I can take it down and put it back up effortlessly. My wife finds it very light as well.

5. Stable - This will not tip over. The footings grip very well.

6. Height - This is much higher than the other step stools.

Cons:
1. Width - I personally do not find it an issue, but some people with extremely large feet may have an issue with the width. Read the dimensions before buying, as with any step stool.

I bought this ladder to use in our trailer, so I can reach, inspect, and/or clean the high exterior sides of the rig. It weighs hardly a thing, and folds small enough to store inside without taking up living space. At this price, I am thrilled with the purchase and highly recommend it for this use.

I needed some elevation (I'm 5'8'') to clean the roof of my SUV so I bought the step stool. I like cleaning my car instead of paying $20 for a job half done most of the time. Extra 2 feet was perfect for me. The steps are narrow and steep so if you are over 6 feet or have unusually large feet like other reviewers mentioned, the size maybe a problem for you. However, since it's compact it's easy to fold and put it to your trunk whenever you go to a car wash.

The frame and truss are made of aluminum with decent thickness. I'm 165lbs and I feel it can handle 100lbs more without a problem. It's stiff and the rivets are tight so when you are getting on and off the tool it feels stable. The Vinyl foot pads are thick too giving good amount of stiffness. Note that if you don't have something to hold on when climbing or getting on the tool it's easier to do it sideways.

Remember it's a step tool, if you use it for something else like in carpentry to hold large ply boards while you're cutting with electric saw, then it may not perform well or even may cause you an accident.

For $40, I couldn't complain. Well recommended.

I weigh 270+ and the stool is rock solid standing on top step. It is very light and easy to carry. The locks are well designed and easy to open. Just be careful and not pinch the skin between the thumb and fore finger.

Solid construction with solid rivets. No nuts and screws to work loose. The two bottom steps are aluminum with no slip pattern in the metal step. The top step is a heavy hard plastic with a non slip pattern. The top step is one piece enforced molding underneath The plastic will not bend or wiggle. Solid as a rock.

The feet are covered with a tough heavy flexible rubber plastic riveted on. No way can they slip off. Works great on all floor types..

If you hate "wobbly" stools of unknown load carry rating,,, you will love this little guy...
You will have to keep an eye on this handy stool as it will "walk" off when others are around...

I'm very impressed with this step ladder. It is compact but STRONG! It holds over 300 pounds, which is nice for anyone who is larger in stature.
