Over the last few years of installing cameras one of the tools that I really wanted was a decent quality ladder. Back in March a local Home Depot
had a huge shipment of Werner Multi Max Pro 20' ladders priced at $179, (now $219
) so I thought about it and bought one:
It is a hybrid between a traditional step ladder and an extension ladder - meaning it can be used as both. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it is good ladder.
It's a Werner, so it is well made. It is cleverly, although no particularly intuitively, engineered. The "folding" mechanism is well designed. The
levelers are well designed. The latching/racheting mechanism on the leaning side is a little fussy in my experience. The extension mechanism on the step side is straightforward.
The ladder is very stable when I needed to access a location about 18' off the ground on a non-level surface.
The biggest con is that it is heavy at 47 lbs. I am 60 and healthy and able-bodied. My usage is intensive, but infrequent. If I had to use
this ladder every day, say professionally, I would rather have two ladders: a traditional step ladder, and a traditional extension ladder.
For my needs it works well enough - if I am patient getting it transported and configured.
