Followed your recommendation last year and purchased three of the extend and climb ladders. Extremely satisfied with our decision and have minimal issues with these ladders. Keep it dry to avoid sticking or at least wipe it down when wet!

Buy Best Ladder on Amazon: amzn.to/3v22a4E After spending $2500 on ladders this year, we still stand behind our recommendation from 5 years ago: Xtend & Climb still makes the best ladders!

Best video for ladders. I tried the link a couple of times and it was dead. Also, put RV in your keywords, these types of ladders are very popular with RV’rs.

I've been using these ladders for about 7 years and I love them with one caveat, the latches get hard. I even had one that locked up on me after only 2 weeks.

I hate it when people say "cheap chinese stuff". Almost everything is made in China. Xtend & Climb ladders are made in China. iPhones, Macbooks are made in China. They can produce high quality stuff and also cheap crap. It all depends on how much money you want to spend.

I have one and am at 260. Ladder rated for 330. But what I like about it is the soft and automatic closing mechanism. You really can't get pinched..so far anyway. Also, it has a horizontal extension bar on the bottom rung to widen its stance. I think it was $103 or there abouts. It seems to close by capturing air and slowly releases it on the way down all in one step..you don't have to click each individual step..just the two on the bottom and then its hands off..the ladder retracts. I'm not going to carry anything with me climbing so even if the rating is lower than advertised for a 15.5' ladder it seems pretty stable. My concern is how long will the air pressure hold. It of course does LOCK into position on each step and if it stops being a soft close I can deal with that. I think some silicone grease might make it last longer. Good review.

Hey my man, thanks for that. I do inspections and wanted one i could put in the back seat of my truck and not have to leave it out in the weather in my bed. Going to to pick this one up. Thanks for all the hard work and MONEY you put in to this.

The only thing I don't like about them is one you get mud on the steps and in the locks it's almost impossible to clean it and have it work properly again. I actually bought one after your last review video with the kettle bells. It's definitely really nice to have but again, a pain to try and keep clean and dry.

I keep my extension ladder mounted on my ladder rack & the 300lb contractor Xtend ladder behind my drivers seat for any interior work I may need to do, it’s difficult carrying a full extension ladder through an elaborate high end home, any of these Xtend & climbs though.. anywhere any time no hassle. Remember folks if Sherwin Williams carries this brand it’s as professional as it gets.

Home Depot is currently selling the Xtend and Climb ladder for cheaper than Amazon.

I bought mine because of this video, I got the 15.5' 300lb Contractor version which is their most expensive and most rugged option that is the tallest.

So I'm 6'2 and about 300 lb and I use the telesteps. I've been carrying the same ladder for over 3 years with absolutely no problems. But I do want to point out that I purchased the top rated ladder on Amazon which was a Chinese knockoff and used it for only 2 weeks before it actually collapsed under me. I'm thinking about purchasing a new ladder to retire my old one into position of backup ladder since the feet are getting so worn out after all these years. Think I'm going to try one of these.

I too have been using a Tele-Steps ladder, daily, for attic access in customer homes(priceless over folding ladders) and I've been thinking about a replacement due to age/use. Good video

Thank You for testing ladders for everyone else. Liked and subscribed. Hope you get your money back through KZread.

Glad I KZread’s this and found your channel before purchasing the cheep one I have in my cart

I fell of a telescoping Amazon ladder. I am like I am not dead.

Thank you for review , It’s been on my mind to replace the one I’ve been using for the last 10 years and looks like this is the one

Xtend n climb has a 300lb rated model for their tallest ladder as well.

keep up the good content

Buy local. Amazon has ripped me off at least 4 times. Returns are a huge hassle with Amazon, and they often sell defective products.

Thank you so much for showing how to use these ladders Cheers

I have purchased the flimsier letters and they are junk so to see your video and see how you tested this personally is indeed a good test. Thank you.

Thank you for investing in our safety!

This is a VERY GOOD review. Thank You so much!

So I use a Werner black tip 32ft (300lb rating) and a Werner mt22 (300lb rating, I was looking at getting a ladder like you showed to stop carrying the big ladders. But I’m 300lbs so I need to make sure it will hold me well

My company gave me one for single story roof inspections. Very good ladder. My only complaint is that it does not have ground levelers. Great video.

Do you use a Goat for steep climbs? Not so sure I would trust my life on that.. I have seen other people using Pitch Hopper.

Thank you for the video! I'm out hunting for a top quality telescopic ladder for roof inspections and perhaps this one's it!

That's a sub. Excellent content.

great video, India is full of dirt from Chinese ladder, i dont know where to buy the best ladder over here.

Are there stability feet available for these units? I don't use a ladder often and mostly indoors for changing smoke detector batteries and air filters. I've been searching for a telescoping ladder but they all seem very flimsy like you mentioned until you step in to the pro range and spend accordingly.

I wish we had an updated one!

Thanks . This helped me sooo much.💯💯

That 260 might be 💪

What do you think about extension ladders vs telescoping? Or do you have a video on that I can watch? Thanks.

What brand is it that is spring loaded and opens by itself

Amazing video, thanks!!

What about USTEPS telescoping ladder?

Nice review!

I think I seen one for a boat. In water . That be awesome 😮

I like the idea but getting off and on the roof is Whats most important to me. I use a gorilla extenable ladder with a 300 pound capacity. Its pretty heavy but it stays put and never moves

Clamp your ladder to the gutter

Great video!

Does test with ladder at 45 degree angle... I think they need to read the instructions.. As these are not used to walk across....You climb up them....

I’m a taper (Drywall Finisher ) what about drywall dust affecting the mechanics of the ladder

Which is the best? The original Telesteps brand or the Xtend & climb?

I got one of these from Amazon.. and l don’t like it! It is heavy, and today the bottom wrong broke on one side.. it’s going back!

Thank you

anywere we can grab these when we are in the uk cant see them on the amazon website

Hi, What ladder do you recommend from Amazon (in my case Amazon Spain) for non-professional use (just to go to the roof of my house if i need)? I think i need between 3.2/4mt. I climb up to my garage, and from there to the roof. To the top of garage it's 3mt height, and from there to the roof is probably 3/3.5mt I guess. Thanks

Xtend & Climb is made in China too. Just saying...

what is your opinion of the folders

Something about those Amazon extension ladders tell me to.stay away. I still can't bring myself to do it.

So this is an xtend and climb brand?

What’s wrong from China? The price is much better. You could choose to pay more to get a better one.

Song!!!! Best

I found many of the reviews are actually meaningless. Did you really tell your audience anything when you say: This US-made $400 ladder that carries $300 lbs is better than the Chinese-made $100 ladders that carries only 250 lbs? The answer is yes and should be. If you want to compare, please compare a US-made $100 ladder with a Chinese-made $100. Our common sense is compare apple with apple. It makes no sense to compare a pineapple to a strawberry while you spend $3 on the pineapple and 3 cents on a strawberry.

A like and a free comment as good measure. Thx

Lol.very true.i usely get by with lightduty painters ladders for almost everything, non electrical related. Then the heavy fiberglass ladder gets used and they like to flex more then id like, thats for sure. but the light duty ladders are plenty strong if used correctly. and not used by a heavy person. or not carrying a bundle of shingles on your shoulder. but if something falls on it or the ladder falls, it will usually be ruined since its not heavy guage aluminum and bends and cracks easy. But i can easily carry it around with one arm

Overpriced! I bought a steel periscope ladder under $100.

Telescopic ladders suck. They are unsafe and shouldn't be used by anyone at any height beyond 6 feet.

what's the use if you don't give any brands. and drop the \ucking imperial sistem😤😤😤

Hella expensive. Dont waste ur money.

Worst ladder on the market to operate... Tell the truth.... Sometimes it takes 10-minutes to close this Xtend ladder and, by the time you get it closed you will be worn out... Now thats the truth....
