Not bad for a multi-config fiberglass 14 ft. Shipping was $55 for me so I picked it up in store.

Many reviews mention plastic parts breaking making it inoperable, and no warranty.
The "reach height" is not usually how ladders are sized. Although this is more versatile than most ladders, used as a standard ladder this is a 6 foot step ladder.
I'm a contractor and I've owned this ladder for six months. I got it because it is heavy duty load load rated (IAA 375 lbs) and for the versatility of positions it can be used for. It fits perfectly flat in the back of my 6.5' truck bed or on my lumber rack. (I like to store fiberglass ladders out of the sun in my truck canopy.)

It much more sturdy than similar ladders for its reach but not as sturdy as an extension ladder. Perfect for being compact and having a solid support when throwing bundles of shingles onto a first story roof or using two as temporary scaffolding for heavier tasks.

It is clunky and heavy for moving around the job site (32.4lbs). I'm never worried about it failing in A-frame position. If I'm moving around quickly in a room doing touch up paint, a lightweight A-frame ladder is preferred.

Warning: it can slide in the leaning position when a finished floor is covered in dust or a drop cloth. On unfinished subfloors and soil, it holds great.

As for the plastic squeeze mechanism, I expect it to hold up for a long time (I always grasp it closer to the base of the plastic to decrease leverage so they don't snap off someday.) If they ever snap off, I'm guessing it would be a pain to replace. It might be possible to operate the mechanism with pair of pliers.

Thanks I'll pass. Big risk on those parts and I have too many good ladder deals in my shed.

I have a similar Gorilla Ladder to this one without multi position just converts from A shape to straight and i wish this one was on sale at the time i got the Gorilla one. Either way both are heavy so not something you want to constantly lug around with you.
