While amazon offers wide selection of telescopic ladders, not all of them perform best.
Here are some ladders to consider for your shingles jobs, roof repairs and they all extend!
My First Choice for telescopic ladders:
Xtend & Climb 15.5 buy here: amzn.to/2vVOYB4
(Best ladder for the money)
My Best Recommendation for Contractors (every day use)
Xtend & Climb: Buy Here: amzn.to/2vVRIi0
My Third option would Telesteps but its only 14.5', little overpriced and I am concerned about steps breaking after some use.
Telesteps 1800EP buy here: amzn.to/2hegsOZ

inspite the negative comments this is an immaculate outstanding review,with all the instructions & what the ladders are rated for we all know many people of today do all kinds of crap in careless contrary to regulations so this guy went all the way of giving a true visual & physical demo of what can happen if you push it with these ladders,no where in the video he never said ''don't ever buy these telescopic ladders'',thanks again for the review buddy,cheers.
Thanks for response!!! We did our best
Then you don't know what 'immaculate' or 'outstanding' means.
Educate yourself.
I cannot believe there are any negative comments. Best review yet.
I fell from a ladder second last step and almost got quadraplegic for life after my fall. i felt all my bone spine and neck coming out of my body when i slammed the grass face first. Im stil Still fragile and every tools need extended and hardcore testing with more safety mesure. Thank you for this!
I dont know why this video is getting all the hate comments...This guy went above and beyond in my opinion..... Especially for guy doing a review on his own and paying for it with his own money.
I’m a property adjuster, and I get curious about what other ladders are out there every now and then. I’ve had an xtend climb 12.5 for over 6 years that’s been used literally thousands and thousands of times, it’s held up great. I should consider replacing it, but with some proper lubrication (something mineral oil based) it’s kept on working reliably and safely.
Thanks for going all out on this. I use the extend and climb and the tele steps. I use both as they are intended to be used. My preference is the tele steps. Simply because of the shape and angle of the steps. The square, non angled edges on the extend and climb are very fatiguing on your feet if you're standing on the ladder while working.
I just bought the Telestep Pro 1800. Looking forward to trying it.
Thank you for pointing out the actual profile of the steps. That to me when working on gutters is critical. I want a comfortable secure footing on the ladder and not a skinny bar with right angle edges.
I'd like to see this test from an unbiased point of view. Every ladder he didn't like, he bounced on to break them. He didn't bounce on his favorite. He hit the telesteps at the connection instead of the middle like the others. Would've also been nice to see how they raise and collapse. Some collapse all at once and some you have to do a rung at a time, which sucks. I've used one telesteps for 10 years and never had any trouble with it. The extra wide step and total collapse is a huge deal. If you use them every once in a while, clicking every rung is probably ok for you. Thinking of buying a spare and I'm looking at other brands. It's just a matter of time before they all malfunction when you use them thousands of times. Was hoping this would be a real world test. Walking horizontal and sledge hammers don't really help me. Showing how they work would've been much more help. Raising and collapsing them 1000 times would've been a real test.
I've had an Ohuhu for a couple years. I weigh about 270. I've been happy with it, but I don't use it like a walking plank.
Agreed, this wasnt a real world test, this was a beat the hell out of the ladder i dont life test. Def biased.
Great review, especially on safety!
What's with all these negative reviews?
You gave me great insight on purchasing a telescopic ladder.
Thanks for your investment, time and review!
Rough ass crowd of comments...I thought the video was great...been looking for a telescoping ladder for my camper...you helped me decide...the 300lb test may not have been the angle their weighted for, but in my opinion if the thing will survive that, it's pretty strong
Thank you, appreciate it
I was in the market for one of these ladders and this review helped me to make my decision. Yes, the video could have been shorter and more on point, but it definitely showed me which brand I wanted to buy. Thanks for the great review.
I am looking for one to use at my camp out in the wild. Thanks for making such an eye-opening review. I come in at 200 to 210 (depending if it's winter or summer). Your angled weight test impressed upon me to dig deeper into my pockets.
Im not a roofer, Im just a homeowner who wants to get a good telescopic ladder. This review swayed me away from Ohuhu, and towards the one you suggested. Yes, it is a lot more expensive, but I'd rather not have my kids grow up without a dad (or a fully functioning one).
Hey...thanks a million. You helped me decide. Great review!!!
Thanks for doing this. I know that it’s almost a year later now but there are so many options out there and choosing the right one can be a life or death decision. Since the ladders are not designed to be used at the incline that you did the kettle bells at, I was very surprised to see any of them survive. This was very helpful, thank you.
+Robert Phillips thanks for feedback!
+Robert Phillips thanks
Thanks for this odd ladder review. I'm a Model S owner, so I didn't mind the little Model X Ad at the beginning.
You made it hard on yourself, but the stability and strength of the ladder was obvious as you walked up them. For the haters: He only started bouncing when it was obvious the ladder was already giving way.
I would've liked to see your take on how easy it is to extend these ladders. They're broke now so too late for that. ;-)
P.S. You should've included your Tesla referral code. :-)
Best review ever!!! Thanks ! you rock
Thank you
From: Curious 1
Using an extension ladder as scaffolding is a common mistake, so putting the test ladders at a vertical angle was a good demonstration. It would have been better if he commented on scaffolding as a misuse with collapsible ladders. A small, but annoying issue were the spelling errors in the text, such as referring to "letters" instead of "ladders."
Just ditch the first 5:30, showing off the Tesla and coffee, please. As to ladder use, having 4-5 rungs above the eave may be preferable to either 3 or 6. Too low, sure, stooping could be insecure, but too high also increases the leverage and tendency to apply force where it can easily initiate side slippage, and encourage stepping onto the rungs at the eave level, where leaning forces are magnified. The narrower the ladder, the greater the risk for side slip, when no further stabilizing is added. On homes with gutters, a simple tie around a gutter spike and rung can help keep a ladder from tipping or sliding side to side. Always set the ladder to the proper angle, and shim feet to level. Indoors, telescoping ladders can be extended into attic accesses or above suspended ceilings in tight confines no other ladder type will handle as well, but don't mistake them for heavy duty construction ladders. Keep the tubes clean so the locking cams can work properly. The way every modular aluminum ladder is constructed depends on the strength gained from tubular or box reinforcement, and loads are to be applied by distributing as by feet, not a sledgehammer. 300 versus 250 load rating shows clearly how more material, thicker walls, or more box areas give more strength. Don't use such ladders as bridges.
Great advice! I only need an 8’ ladder. After seeing this I hope xtend and climb makes one!!
they do!
Great test, thanks.
Great video , I fall from a ladder once , can not work for near 6 months , I junked all my cheap ladders after , do not buy cheapest ladder .
Thank you for this demonstration as it shows that this type of ladder, while an easy carry and extend, very dangerous and weak. For me, a regular ladder may be heavier, but they are more safe than any of these in your demonstration. Extension ladders such as these are just not a good idea. Safety first. Use the right ladder for the job and forget about these.
Love the video. Steered me away from one I was gonna buy. The pro version is sold out on Amazon unfortunately.
Great review...very helpful
Great video. Thank you.
I've been using the Xtend ladder for over 15 years and I agree it's also feels like the most stable vs the Telesteps. I always take my time on it and secure my ladder to the eave. Do you know of any adjustable ladder feet for an uneven surface like say a roof tile or a step? Telestep makes a version of it but I prefer the Extend ladder. Thanks for the great video!
Super useful thanks man
Good tests!!!!
Wow great video. At first i thought that you didn't need the hammer hitting as it was not in the realm of any ladder use. But afterwards I was glad to see that you did it. Good job. I hope that you get back all your money. Maybe you should contact Extend & climb or that 3rd ladder. (might be the cheapest but you took 9 steps before it broke), they might give you free replacements.
that was great, i learned a lot. I don’t need my ladder to fail
Love from Mpls...lots of $$ spent on this review thx
hi Dmitry: Thank you for this video. On Amazon, in the reviews of telescopic ladders, everyone is saying the quality of Telesteps has gone down the toilet. It looks like Telesteps outsourced to China. Telesteps has a new line of telescoping ladders (and they look very bad-ass, those may be made in Sweden) but I do not think they are available in the USA. I hate to say it, but it looks like Telesteps is keeping the good ladders in Europe and shipping the crappy ones to the USA.
I do picture hanging. Every now and then, I have a weird situation, stairways, lobbies, etc. So I purchased the 12 foot Ohuhu from Amazon. So far, it has worked out, but climbing those things is a little scary. I was not crazy about purchasing the Ohuhu, but money is tight.
You are absolutely right. You really don't want to cut corners on ladders. Back in 2013, I was on a borrowed, aluminum A-frame, and one leg just crumpled up while I was on the ladder. So, I bit the bullet and purchased a Little Giant Extreme for around $450 (and that is a lot for me).
Your video has convinced me that I should get the 15 Telescoping ladder. I guess I will try and save up, and get the Extend n Climb (unless I find a way to get that special Telesteps one).

+PutMyStupidThingTogether.Com thanks for feedback! 15.5' xtend and climb is only $200 and some change, I would definetly get that one, beat for the money!
Hi, I'm wanting the Telestep ladder too. Did you find any more information regarding the availability in the US? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the video, I need an compacted ladder because I live in a small NYC apartment and one of my closets have extra high shelves, so I will use this ladder sometimes, not everyday and I will not be carry anything heavy. Do you think I can buy the cheaper version? Many thanks, Andrea
I would recommend any xtend and climb, they have smaller and cheaper ladders
I made the same comment from Dimitry's other newer video on the comparison of telescopic ladders. Here is the comment I made:
It's somewhat of a good review after I thought about it and did some research. Initially, I thought Xtend & Climb is the ultimate ladder until you see the price of it! Cripes! Yes, it's probably the ultimate ladder for contractors who can afford it. The review is somewhat flawed in that it is comparing a ladder that is contractor/pro grade vs ladders that are made for occasional DIY use! This review is like comparing oranges to tangerines. I'd like to see comparisons of oranges to oranges. Provide a DIY non-contractor grade telescopic ladder with other non-contractor grade telescopic ladder. I like to see how well the Xtend & Climb home series compared to other Chinese brands and Metaltech ladders that are made for home/DIY use. Unless you're rich and own a house that's over $1M, 95% of homeowners will not buy an Xtend & Climb contractor/pro grade ladder just to use a few times a year around and inside the house.
Another few things I noticed and I want everyone to note are:
1) Xtend & Climb and likely most of the ladders made, especially in this video, are made in China. So, just because something is made in China does not mean they're total crap. There are different grades of quality. This will dictate the price.
2) Xtend & Climb, if you take a look at their models and grade, are numerous:
a) Consumer DIY Grade
b) Consumer DIY Plus Grade
c) Pro Grade
d) Pro Plus Grade
e) Contractor Grade
So, this is what I mean about the video comparing Orange to Tangerines. Dimitry needs to compare equal graded ladders with each other, not Contractor and Pro grade Xtend & Climb ladders to Consumer DIY grades that are twice as light and are made for home/RV light usage.
What all of the brands of telescopic ladders did ya purchase?
Tha was unfear test he did not jump on the ladder he like and he walked 8 steps on that one that bent and he just walked 5 steps and did not jump on the ladder he like dont get me wrong those ladder that did not bent are better quality
Many Thanks
You are welcome
Great production.
Glad you like it!
@@RoofingInsights3.0 I ended up getting the Lionladder 12.5FT Telescoping Ladder, One-Button Retraction. I Liked the flip out yellow support struts at the bottom. And the Flip out rubber pads at the top. I like the one button retraction (simple, instead of one by one). Of course, my use will be occassionally going on top of my CamperVan to inspect components.
Well at least I know what ladder to refer to others, however, I really don’t like these ladders at all. Had a bad experience. First time I used one somehow I pinched the crap out of my forearm! It bruised like crazy. IHave no idea how I did it but now I am telescoping ladder shy. LOL. For my one story roofs I just use a little giant.
I just ordered the extend and climb contractors version for only 321.00
If it does collapse when your on it wouldnt your feet get smashed?
I don't trust any telescopic ladders, only needs 1 locking mechanism to fail for it to collapse, and that's according to the health n safety investigation that resulted in 32000 ladders being withdrawn from sale.
Buy a proper ladder.
Which is the ladder with the black steps? Look like Xtend climb but I dont see that one on amazon, only with silver steps?

Hi Sal, we're the UK importers of Xtend+Climb - give us a call on 029 2132 0000 for details of your nearest stockist. The 4.4m is the black one featured in the video. Here's a link to our video of the black X+C in action at the local ice rink in Cardiff - ruclips.net/video/UUWwp9UgqK8/видео.html
Ill remember this next time i am using a ladder to cross a canyon or stop a sledge hammer. Honestly wouldn't some real world scenarios be better
They actually use ladders to cross large cracks in the ice when they climb Mount Everest.
"and the final commandment, number 11: thou shalt normalize thy volumes" - God.
I like your review but that is just risking too much for injury. I like your testing because there are time that you do need the ladder to be use in your scenario.
+Keith Koch someone had to do it....
Safety is number one priority!
haha i got this joke, same accent too...
you were jumping on the first 2 ladders LOL
Pretty Good/Descent testing of various brands/lengths/pricing of telescopic ladders. Given many reviews/research/pricing/engineering, the Extend & Climb ladders hold their own place in desirable/popular ladders. During the sledge hammer testing of pounding the 1st step of each ladder; it seemed apparent that you hammered the 1st seven ladders in the center/middle of the step. Oddly, for the last test; "Telesteps" brands (Last hammer test) the 1st hammer hit was Focused/Concentrated on the end of the step - not in the center/middle of the step like the other ladders. Question: Do you have a Special Financial Interest or Bias in the "Climb & Extend" brand since you Expressly made clear that it was your favorite brand?
+Larry RX7Sports no we don’t, we have never spoke to them. We love the winner and have used them in our business (roofing) a lot. We also tried other brands but never seen better performing ladder. So we did this review to make it public
Yo nesecito una escalera en este momento
отличный обзор
Biased as you bounced on the cheaper ones not your favourite extend and climb
exactly he might be sponsored to do this
Very unscientific evaluations. Tools are designed to perform in design use parameters. These are ladders, not work platforms. I would like to have seen you dropping a cow bell on the ladder step as it is a fixed weight and if done from the same height, a fixed force. I did appreciate your reporting of the actual length of the ladders. BTW the IRS may question your write off of the Tesla as it has nothing to do with the ladder tests if that is why you included the car in the video.
but we love it :)
Shoot! Telesteps sucks for the price my goodness!
No need ladder to climb over a 3ft. concrete wall😂
You don't use a ladder as a scaffold.
You jump up down on first few ladders then just walked up the others not s proper test at all
Wrong test!!! You M on
Xtend endorse pays him
No they don’t. Never got a dollar from them
vlog
wrong test !! NOOB
Which one is better my budget is around 500 -600$
15 feet long, lbs 300
