Review on HBTower 12.5 FT Telescoping Ladder With 2 Triangle Stabilizers: Lightweight, Durable, And Versatile For RV Or Outdoor Work by Djmikis Parker

Overall it seems like a really well made ladder. The releases work great and it's incredibly easy to use. It doesn't do the slow release like is required for the EN131 standard, however, instead it doesn't close all the way initially which really achieves the same purpose, preventing your fingers from being smashed. I haven't tried any other telescoping ladders so can't really comment on efficacy of the triangle stabilizers, but I definitely see the logic in them. The ladder extends easily, retracts easily and feels relatively sturdy.I'm well under the weight limit, but still a heavier guy and I do notice that there is a good bit of flex in the ladder when fully extended. Truthfully, I think this has more to do with the telescoping design than anything, but will take some time to get used to. Overall, the incredibly small size of this ladder and rated durability definitely make it a great buy and I recommend it!
