5.0 out of 5 stars I love this ladder, September 22, 2006

By	B. D HILL "brize_books" (Niles, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't have much ladder experience, but when I bought a 2-storey house on the side of a hill I knew I was going to need something better than my 24', 225 pound ladder. I probably really need a 32'er, but I was intimidated when I looked at one, especially since I was going to be handling it mostly by myself. This 28'er turned out to be perfect, not too awkward to handle, but with a sturdy feel when you climb.

With my experience now, I would recommend the 300 lb rating to anybody who is going to be doing much work on a ladder. I'm only a buck seventy five, but I much prefer the heft and stability of this ladder when doing something up there that takes some exertion or reaching. I also have a hold-out bar and adjustable legs on this unit, so any fear of heights I had is about gone when I'm using it.

Surprisingly, even this ladder has a little bounce when maxxed out on the length, but if it's properly set up at least you feel secure while you're up there. Adjusting the height is a breeze, just stand it up and pull on the rope, with a nice, heavy KER-THUNK at each level. If you handle by yourself, it does take some strength in your rope hand, but you'll get the hang of it after a few times.

5.0 out of 5 stars 28-Foot Aluminum Extension Ladder, December 12, 2008

By	F. DELEON "Franko" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

(Added 06/26/09) I forgot to mention that when I received the ladder, it had a dent in one of the side rails. I placed the ladder on a flat surface, took a 1-1/4" pipe, placed it firmly against (and as squarely as possible) the dent and banged the other end with a short handled 5lb sledge hammer. Two hits and it was as good as new...

Very happy with this product. Sturdy but light enough to be handled by one person, but having a helper is always safer. I like the properties of aluminum - lighter and stiffer than steel. I checked out fiberglass equivalents at local home centers but found them too bulky and too heavy. Always look out for live wires as the metal is an excellent/dangerous conductor. Keep harsh detergents/alkalis away.
