Xtend & Climb 785P Review by ComedyTragedy
I loaned my 16 Foot Aluminum Extension Ladder to a friend to get up to an air conditioner that was being replaced on top of our condominium. Foolishly they tried to lower the air conditioner through the hole with a rope and it fell, crushing the ladder. That is how my possession of this Telescoping Ladder began. I never liked the size of the aluminum ladder leaning on a wall in my condo but it was the only place I could store it. Since it was in two pieces, it was 8 feet long when closed. I always wanted a telescoping ladder but felt the price prohibitive. Now I had an excuse to buy one and I am glad I did. It arrived within two days and it is perfect for my needs. The trick is that you really have to concentrate on how you extend it and HOW YOU COLLAPSE IT. It only took my first time to get a little part of my hand caught between rungs, luckily it had not been extended very far, it was just a wake-up call. You really have to extend it carefully and even more carefully collapse it. It is very sturdy and well built. For the person who is methodical and thorough it is a perfect ladder; if you are in a hurry and used to just leaning a ladder against a wall, well, you might think twice. It is great how little room it takes, not obtrusive at all. It is also a ladder you would not loan out since it does take quite a bit of effort to use it correctly. Certainly nothing you would allow a child to use. I highly recommend it to people who are not in a hurry!
Xtend & Climb 785P Review by Sure Sight Home Inspection, Inc. "Gadget Guru" (NC)
I have been in the home inspection business for years and have been using a 12' telescoping ladder daily since day one. Finally, after 7 years, my old ladder (Telesteps brand) was getting worn from the years of daily use. I decided to give the Extend and Climb 15.5' ladder a try since the Telesteps only made a 14.5' ladder. Big Mistake! The ladder is brought down by flimsy plastic slide latches that don't feel strong enough for the weight of the ladder. Even after the first use they felt ready to break off when trying to collapse the ladder. They are near impossible to operate on the bottom 2 rungs making collapsing the ladder almost impossibly difficult and dangerous. I have already hurt my fingers twice on this ladder and made an ass of myself in front of my clients wrestling with this ladder trying to get the bottom 2 rungs to collapse. I don't know if mine is a defect or if they are all like this. All I know is that I am disappointed and wish I had stuck with the Telesteps. I would caution anyone looking at this ladder to stay away unless you absolutely must have a 15.5' telescopic ladder for occasional use.
Xtend & Climb 785P Review by Traveler "cat team" (Allover, USA)
I purchased the 15.5' 300 LB ladder for my job as a residential insurance adjuster. Prior to this ladder, I had used a 28' Werner extension ladder which I lugged around to each home I inspected. This ladder is much easier to carry, and extends fairly easily when you get the hang of it. As for pinching fingers, it could be easy to do if you don't watch what you are doing, but I have yet to get a digit in the way when collapsing the ladder. It feels extremely sturdy, even the portly roofers that I encounter are surprised at how sturdy it is. I still use the extension ladder for two story access in most cases, but this one can't be beat for ease of use and portability. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is due to the fact that it seems like it could be just a little easier to extend and retract, and the red stickers that tell you the ladder is not secure should be painted on, as about 6 or 7 have peeled off and have been lost, but there is a green dot that is painted on to tell you that it is secure.
