- Is the Werner LEANSAFE 8 ft ladder worth it?
- If you need one ladder for stepladder, leaning and extension work and want fiberglass for electrical safety, yes. If you only need a step ladder, a basic fiberglass model offers far less for the money.
- How is it different from a standard Werner step ladder?
- It converts to a leaning ladder and an extension ladder, reaching about 13 ft, where a plain 8 ft step ladder stops at ceiling height. The trade-off is more weight and hinge hardware.
- Is fiberglass better than aluminum for this ladder?
- Fiberglass is non-conductive, so it is the safer choice near wiring. Aluminum is lighter, about 21 lb versus 25 lb, and simpler to carry.
- What is the weight limit?
- It is rated Type IAA at 375 lb, including the user and tools. That is the highest ANSI duty rating for ladders.
- How tall is it and how high can I reach?
- The ladder is 8 ft. It gives a maximum working height of about 10.3 ft as a stepladder, 9.4 ft leaning and 12.1 ft as an extension ladder, with a maximum reach of about 13 ft.
- What is in the box?
- The ladder ships assembled as one unit with its hinge and lock hardware. No separate base or top section is needed.
