Buy a Blackhawk helicopter they come free as standard ;D

are they not a bit short for some windows? seen them on QVC I did like them, but thought they might be to short for some of the windows?
Screwfix sell them £239.00  QVC are cheaper.

They might not be suitable for some windows as you say .  Personally, I have only used them to get up onto a flat roof.  If anyone buys one, I would suggest the 3.8 metre size rather than the 3.3.

the type in wicks are foldable and cost half the price of those on ebay

they fold into themselves (if you get my drift)

they would fit behind the front seat of a car

just for my two pennith worth - a lot of crime departments use these telescopic ladders including the forensic science department and soco - my wifes company sell them to them (well they sorce them anyhow)

the only thing i would say is make sure the ladder has the EU standard stamp on it - as some dodgy companies are making these ladders to poor standards and selling them on ebay!

but i think they are cool and if i went 100% WFP i would buy a set of these  8)
