Is this ladder stable at full height?

Expect some flex. Telescoping ladders this light are less rigid than fixed extension ladders, so keep loads modest and use it on level ground.

What can I use a 2 lb telescoping ladder for?

Light tasks: attic hatches, high shelves, gutters on a single-story home and similar occasional jobs. It is not built for heavy tools or all-day trade work.

How much weight does it hold?

Check the duty rating printed on the ladder before climbing. Light telescoping models usually carry a lower rating than standard extension ladders, so confirm it covers your weight plus gear.

Does it fit in a closet or car trunk?

Yes. The sections collapse into a compact bundle, which is the main reason to choose this type over a rigid ladder.

How do I keep the sections from pinching my fingers?

Lower the ladder one section at a time and keep hands clear of the joints. Most pinch injuries happen when sections slide down together.

Aluminum or fiberglass for home use?

Aluminum is lighter and rust-proof, which suits occasional home use. Fiberglass is heavier but does not conduct electricity, so it is the safer choice near wiring.
