Hi all

Any one used one of the telescopic ladders from maplins??

They are doing a 2.9m one for £60, i am mainly WFP but im thinking in to buying something like this for access and a couple of jobs with flat roofs.

They're not worth the money,.. heavy, unstable, a pain in the backside to use,...

I'm sure those telescopic ladders can be quite handy and useful for small quick jobs but I just don't trust them, I have a vision of catastrophic failure where I'm at the top of the ladder and each section fails and I come crashing to the ground! No thanks

Ouch! you could feel the pain!

the way he fell was nothing to do with the type of ladder though, we sell these ladders and people find them to be most handy.

I know Most ladder injuries are not the ladders fault, just most people dont check and then check again.
