Werner says that the ladder features new and improved J-locks that are easy to operate, with oversized and impact-resistant push knob.
The ladder is said to be Werner’s lightest 22′ multi-functional ladder, thanks to new PowerLite rails. It’s said to be 10% lighter than the previous model.
The ladder is rated as a Type IAA, capable of supporting users and their gear weighing up to 375 lbs.
I bought a Werner multi-functional ladder a few years ago, and have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it’s great in stepladder mode, “stair” mode where one size can be extended to a different length than the other, and as scaffolds. As an extension ladder, it’s sturdy but can be hard to set up solo compared to traditional extension ladders.
I have since purchased a standalone extension ladder, but my Werner still sees use in its other configurations. It’s a good ladder to have, and I don’t see myself parting with it, as I’d have to buy a couple of other products to replace the functionality I have used and will continue to use it for.
$179 seems to be a very good price for what you get, with other sellers charging ~$249. You can spend less for a multi-functional ladder, sacrificing either adjustment range and reach, or weight capacity.
What are your thoughts about this ladder – is it a good deal or would you buy or recommend something different?
Sale Price: $179
