"I've always been skeptical of multi ladders. A friend of mine bought one so I tried his.
This ladder is fantastic. Very versatile and easy to use. I'm 225lbs and this ladder was exceptionally solid in its most stressed positions. I had it in the A-frame at it's top height, nearly 9 feet, and it didn't wobble at all. The only thing you'll need to buy is a 2x12 to use for scaffolding. Other than that there are no other parts to buy.
This ladder is a little heavy, yes. But Grade 1 ladders always are. Lightweight ladders are flimsy and can even be unsafe.
I'll still keep my 28' extension and small household step ladders but this is going to come in very handy for painting, landscaping, and doing general work around the house."
