I have a small hatchback and when I was hired my boss told me to take the 2ft, 4ft and 6ft steps. A 6ft level wasn't practical to store in my car and I wouldn't buy a new car if I could avoid it. Even though it expands to 5ft instead of 6ft like my boss said to buy and I feel a bit overpriced for what it is, even though it's a unique feature, it still has me as an investment in a new car spared. Otherwise it is easy to use. and does the job. I've measured dozens of shower doors with it and the only time I've been wrong was my own.
