    I used my Cosco "World's Greatest Ladder" for the first time yesterday. It was perfect. It stretched to 11' and served great as a step ladder. Very stable. I'd recommend it.

    The ratchet hinges on mine broke after the first few times I used mine.

    I'll make sure to file the warranty. 10 years apparently.

    Finally got around to getting a ladder today.

    Ended up with a Vulcan brand step/extension that Menards had on sale for $112.

    I couldn't believe the wide variety of prices on those types of ladders. Some of them were priced close to $300.

    Got to ues it last week tarping a load.

    I can't believe I waited so long to get one of these. Its nice to be able to go up both sides of it. Have to move it half as much as a normal step ladder or extension ladder.

    I'll use it for more then tarping.

    My knees and feet can't take jumping off the deck very much.

    No fancy electric tarp or traps.

    Still use the old fashioned cranks.
