5.0 out of 5 stars A ladder you can definitely lean on!, October 2, 2000

This review is from: Werner 5908 225-Pound Duty Rating Type II Fiberglass Stepladder, 8-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

In pursuit of repainting the interior rooms of our 1907 house with very high ceilings, we desperately needed a ladder to do the job and do it right. This ladder is sturdy (we feel secure when we're high up) and easy to move from room to room. This ladder has also been invaluable with other home projects. The height is perfect for most jobs! The best thing about this experience is that we don't own a vehicle that could easily transport an item of this size from a bricks-n-mortar hardware store. Ordering this ladder from Amazon made the experience hassel-free! Thanks Amazon!

This review is from: Werner 5906 225-Pound Duty Rating Type II Fiberglass Stepladder, 6-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

I own two of these green fiberglass ladders, and use them regularly on the job. They are good ladders. The difference between these and the blue version are the yellow plastic braces at the bottoms. The blue ladder has aluminum braces.

I would own the yellow or orange, but they are expensive (I really do need them though).

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars, for a ladder!, November 30, 2011

This review is from: Werner 5906 225-Pound Duty Rating Type II Fiberglass Stepladder, 6-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

The ladder exceeded my expectations! This type of ladder is the type for lightweight people (like me, being only 166LBS), for paintjobs, hedge trim jobs, changing a light bulb, etc!
This ladder is extremely light weight! Lighter than an all aluminum one!
The sides are made out of fiberglass, which is much like pressed cardboard, but a bit tougher.

I would have given this ladder 4 stars, if it wasn't for the good price (I got it for $58).

My first impressions where the light weight, but also the rough finishing.
At the bottom of the ladder there where some fiber optic pieces sticking out, which I could rip off the ladder like paper.
Only on the edges where the ladder was mechanically cut.

Another, the ladder is a bit flimsy, but certainly not less safe than any other ladder I've been on for anything under 200LBS!
When opening the ladder, it tended to torque a bit, but once the 4 feet are on stable and even ground, not even 250 pounds can break it!

The ladder looks nice, the green fiberoptic bars in combination with the plastic and rubber edges, makes it look a clean and fancy ladder!

Mine had a black top, with a locking system for a fitting bucket.
