aluminum telescoping ladders

I have had a Little Giant for over 25 years. Great ladder - tougher than nails. It's my "go to" ladder for difficult situations.

I have one but don't know the brand, watch your fingers when closing, if you don't it hurts.

I bought THIS ONE last fall for access into the large ceiling hatchway for my attic, since there's no pull-down stairs installed. It's had a fair amount of use and it's still holding up very well. I also set it up a lot for HVAC contractors coming in for estimates on a new system and they all liked it as well.

Thanks, but this thread is about telescoping ladders, Little Giant doesn't sell any. Little Giant Ladders - Factory Direct Pricing!

Further research shows that some break easily, this Top 10: Best Telescoping Ladders in 2019 / 12.5 Ft Telescopic Ladder - YouTube shows a bunch of failures at about the 1 minute mark.

Also at least one brand, LionLadder, seems very narrow. I've 2 size 13EEE to fit on the rung.

Well my son was going in to Harbor Freight in Tupelo anyways, they have their 10ft on sale for $99, had him pick me up one to avoid the 82 mile rt drive,

Pros so far - real sturdy, collapses smoothly
Con - the buttons to collapse are underneath the rungs
