You can buy one of these ladder without having to fear for your safety.: T4 S" {& ^( N& B
The standard for telescoping convertible ladders was set by the

8 }& ~6 z4 G" g7 x7 o& Y" d+ Q8 OI once read a review of a Little Giant Ladder from a Werner customer.
% o" z: ]3 R/ [5 QHe touted the strength of Werner riveted rungs (obviously, he hadn3 o4 h+ ~( \% S5 ]# A8 g7 H: _

Giant. He claimed the Little Giant rungs were held on with 鈥渙range3 k* w$ T+ W& k' j6 W* u3 m. o# {
plastic clips." A little research reveal that instead of clips or

The edges of the rungs are then covered with orange plastic clips to

4 @2 l6 g% L2 bThe bottom line is that the safety features of the Werner telescoping

ladder--and safety should always be a concern in using a ladder--it

convertible ladders. Give Little Giant a try. Your safety--and possibly* h7 G) X4 C+ {3 w# g* t$ k. p
your life--is worth it.
