The Truth about Werner LaddersArticulated Ladder: Subpar/ O; U6 Y. d2 X# D/ X
Werner Ladder Co. is an excellent ladder company. Most of their" D3 z. }' c' m; V
ladders are of the finest quality, passing the OSHA tests with flying+ L e0 I# k/ z5 @
colors. One glaring exception to their otherwise fine workmanship is

probably not the one you want to be climbing.

When these rivets fail, according to salespeople,http://www.nhr0598.cn/showtopic-20557.aspx, you can have the. T- U4 {, l: `/ I6 H' H

Giant. He claimed the Little Giant rungs were held on with 鈥渙range

The unique design of these ultra strong welds helps to keep you safe.

prevent cuts and other injuries. There no safer convertible ladder+ g/ t; O9 b: x& g2 q% s2 s
than a Little Giant--and don believe anybody who tells you otherwise.# z. v* ~0 ^. X& \
The bottom line is that the safety features of the Werner telescoping+ B" J: O0 f- ^( i, u' v
multiladder are subpar. So if safety is a concern in using your# K: F) y! u5 W8 j" B
ladder--and safety should always be a concern in using a ladder--it9 b: c8 @) g6 A3 W
makes sense to turn to the recognized industry leader for telescoping X/ _* f4 M7 c! Y
convertible ladders. Give Little Giant a try. Your safety--and possibly+ V, |* I/ j& j3 A. u; G
your life--is worth it.
