They are selling these for a similar price in Makro.



Word of warning, someone once broke both legs on one of these, safety catches looked like they were in position and when they got halfway up the ladder it gave way. It was a while back, so they have may have improved that safety aspect.

I actually used one of these the other day at work and it was pretty solid. It had already been extended though, so I am not sure how positive the locking system is.

Chez, Why are you buying a ladder when you don't even need one? :-P
