XTEND CLIMB LADDER. Compact 20' Extending Ladder. Best Ladder Ever.

[@ajposey521]

Love it! I'm a licensed contractor and adjuster who finds this ladder very convenient and travel friendly.

[@JoyFay]

Hi! Are you still an Adjuster?

[@ivorytower99]

I think whomever created the idea for this ladder is genius! I saw one for the first time, yesterday: a HVAC kid came to my house and had to get into the attic, which is up 14' inside of a caged vent. When I looked in the back of his truck, telling him he'll need a ladder - and then when he pulled this out - -I was amazed! A MUST-HAVE for people with lots of art and cathedral ceilings.

[@isakwilkinson2491]

I love seeing the local guy make a video cuz it gives me the idea to get what I need. Thank you so much for making this video and I to live in Idaho the Boise area

[@Idahopainter]

Cool, not far from us. Thanks for watching!

[@Basketball55555super]

Going to get into all sorts of places I'm not supposed to with this 😁

[@kalrocking]

Very nice ladder model

[@Idahopainter]

Well thanks!

[@bruceoronte8696]

You are on point...I have used these ladders for ten years. I have 4...One of my latch buttons got broken because i was STUPID and loaned it out and my friend didn't understand how to close and hammered the button...(dumas) Anyway the company sent me a new ladder NO CHARGE, great ladder and even Better Company!!!!!

[@kevinperez7555]

This would be perfect for my roofing sales. Holy mother would this speed things up.

[@Idahopainter]

Get you one!

[@cosimobruno9731]

I like how you point to links that are in the proper spot of where you point and there cool buttons.

[@Idahopainter]

Oh thanks!

[@paulmarrs2057]

Thanks! I've seen these in my local Sherwin Williams store, but haven't seen one in action. I have been appreciating your videos. They've been helping me.

[@traxinternational622]

Bought the blue one, it's really useful, love it.

[@emilyj389]

This is amazing! I'll be sure to use your link when I get the funds--thanks so much for this awesome video! :)

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for the support!

[@wildwill1970]

I've seen that ladder around, thanks for the demonstration Chris. :)

[@TheFkman]

i agree, its a must have.

[@debbieleadbetter3100]

Hi Chris - only thing, you should warn about lowering ladder and hand/finger positions. I read all about it, copied the instructions for my husband, and was demonstrating the proper way and got my finger - nice big blood blister - happens really fast!!!

[@theespinozagrove]

I recommend this ladder to any one I love it

[@akaredcrossbow]

I just bought the contractor one and to be honest maybe it needs to be worked in, but it doesn’t slide down too easily and it’s like a guillotine. I’m debating on returning it and just use the ladder from the truck, it seems easier and safer.

[@bobong2505]

nice tool

[@AwesomeWoodThings]

I gotta' one of these! Real nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@matt_williams1015]

that's a neat ladder

[@reviewlogist]

good reviews

[@canyoncain]

Would this fit in my challenger trunk

[@yann9976]

Hi Chris Does it´s still work good with overspray all over it?

[@apedooley1201]

Been waiting 4 years for this answer Chris

[@lexandersantana8089]

Hell no, not good with water either

[@chrisburright9854]

Probably best for in home use

[@Retroweld]

I need one of those.

[@RiNiSM]

How heavy is it?

[@scotthylleberg5813]

Hey, Great videos! Where do I get the 20.5" Compact Ladder? Highest I can find is 18 ft.

[@pbmgoat258]

I can’t find the 20’ version either.

[@byronewhite]

How do you feel about this one compared to the Telesteps model you have used also.

[@Idahopainter]

XTend is the best

[@byronewhite]

@@Idahopainter I like it's one rung at a time control over Telesteps but would like it in a 300lb rating. They show it on their website but say out of stock. May have to go for the plus model at this time. Thanks for your reply. ps. Thanks for the offer on your cabinet painting class but being retired would probably not have time to sit down and get it finished. Stange, isn't it, a retired person with not much time. 😄

[@andressebastianortega4914]

watching from Australia... Great job.. what is your suggestion for a telescopic technology folding ladder?

[@Idahopainter]

Use it all the time

[@shanelewis9711]

What do you mean by 15.5 ft. ladder with a 20 foot reach?

[@mpacino1224]

At highest standable rung of 15.5 feet he, being at least 4.5 feet tall, would have a 20 foot reach?

[@raybosflorida4928]

do they make a 20ft or taller???/

[@Idahopainter]

www.theidahopainter.com

[@alyosha1974]

I usually strap two together for almost 40 ft of reach. They also work well with ladder jacks.

[@xpert1111]

I have one similar to that and the instructions state not to open from top unless your are extending all steps to the highest height. If not you are supposed to extend from the bottom and work your way up.

[@Idahopainter]

Wow, makes sense, thanks for sharing Pete!

[@teofiloreyes9346]

chris tu venes esas escaleras y cual es su precio?

[@JinrongChen-y2p]

which one is the 20.5' ladder？

[@mikefishing7547]

Did you add your height to the ladder too? Can't find 20ft

[@Idahopainter]

No

[@chrisferguson5381]

I see these at Graingers,thought about getting one lol

[@Idahopainter]

Get one!

[@docsavagexl]

never seen u use it in any vids give it a shot

[@docsavagexl]

***** Thx chris and keep em coming

[@smokey7849]

use this 20ft for arv????or smaller rv came without ladder

[@kickboxerforever00]

Another great video Chris,just got done watching another Telescopic Video of Yours, (The yellow ones), Quick question for you, Have you used the "STANZ" (TM) 12.5 foot Telescopic ladders and if you have what do you think of them?? i was thinking of getting some for $109 at Walmart and using them for getting into Attics,Doing Wasp nests etc (i am a Pest Exterminator by Trade).. Thanks!

[@Welchyd82]

I could do with seeing the model at the start for a little bit longer?

[@Ghrainne]

Not for commercial usage

[@henrikaize]

is it strong enaugh ?I very affraid to use it

[@IamNemoN01]

hanafi tanudjaya For safety get a Little Giant ladder.

[@danielstapleton8875]

@@IamNemoN01 Agree. I have both. Little Giant is a far superior ladder. Stronger. More versatile. Safer. The telescoping ladders don't handle getting water in them or paint on them well. Switches stick. It bends more and the rungs are skinny and slippery (Even with high dollar rubber deck boots). Imo their place is to be stored inside with occasional use for a homeowner.

[@Stoyankovich]

This looks to be the 785P which is spec'd to be 19.5' long on the manufacturer's website. Although when I search for the product, there only seems to be a 15.5' version under the same model name. Even the link in your tool store brings me to the 15.5' version. Do you know what the deal is?

[@OregonOutlaw6.4]

20' long 15.5' after you lean into something to keep your weight stable from falling backwards you can't have it just straight up and down.

[@rjmiller2553]

Is this ladder for a professional who needs it for daily use? Compared to the Home Depots Metaltech telescopic ladder which is cheaper cost and probably cheaper quality too. (Similar to comparing Dewalt power tools to Ryobi)

[@ronaldkrull6314]

I recall seeing these in paint stores, iirc they were a brand that went higher? Do you know of any

[@niranjansaini8361]

price kya h

[@thomaskuhar6300]

I'd STRESS learning to close the ladder with PROPER hand placement before doing so! It should be noted instructions say NOT to lean stiles on gutters, etc. because they get damaged. So only the very TOP should be in contact with wall, etc. NOT for use in wet or dirty (overspray) environments. But it's a great ladder for MANY appropriate situations. DON'T go cheap and buy off brands!

[@eddiee.832]

I'm trying to sneak into my girls room, upstairs window. will it get the job done?

[@retroshyt]

how did it work out? im tryna do that too lol

[@toolrat1]

where do you get the 20ft from? looking for the a frame as well.

[@nicestrat]

Telesteps are better for saving your hands, fingers, etc. from being crushed.

[@anti-socialistsocialclub6032]

Lock them windows ladies and gentlemen

[@hottamaletallahassee]

just bought one. several of the latches are very hard to move, and get stuck. I was not able to fully retract the ladder. not sure if this one is defective or not. also, the mechanism is extremely hazardous. you could easily crush a finger while muscling one of the latches.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for sharing Craig!

[@mauricecardinal6352]

I have owned this ladder for almost 8 years. Retracting the ladder is best done from the bottom up. Click the buttons one at a time while lifting up on the adjacent, above wrung slightly. Makes it much easier. Not recommended for spraying. Have to keep ladder clean as well. Telescopic's need a little care. Excellent ladder.

[@xpert1111]

craig reeder do you have an Extend Climb or a knock off version. I have a knock off and it does what you state.

[@marshawnjackson2189]

what size ladder works best for interior ceiling cut-ins ?

[@thesaviorofALL]

Depends on height of ceiling

[@rocheroche9693]

Why this xtend ladder is expensive than the rest of telescoping ladder? Just wondering why. :)

[@sincitydude7296]

I've heard those telescoping ladders bend and break. Have you had any issues in the past with those ladders? I figured the Warner multi ladder and the Little Giant were a better choice.

[@Idahopainter]

We have not had any issues with it, it has worked great for us!

[@sincitydude7296]

Paint Life TV ok cool. I've been a painter for 23 years now. I work up here in Las Vegas Nevada & I get lots of side work. I'm Currently working inside a two-story home with a very high vaulted ceiling and one of those ladders would be really helpful. I hate having to lug around full size extension ladder for interior jobs. Not too big on Heights and I'd hate for one of those ladders to fold on me while I'm up top.

[@Trishafuninthesun11]

I just bought mine and it just collapse right back down. I can't figure out how to keep it up. I keep clicking the red buttons but nothing works, HELP!

[@kyleburke1941]

It should lock automatically when you pull each rung up. Just pull up one rung at a time until it locks. If it doesn’t lock it’s broken

[@UniquePerspective]

Otherwise known as "The finger guillotine".

[@Pupenhausen]

Yeah I just found that out. My fingernails are a nice shade of purple now.

[@apedooley1201]

Your awareness level must be on that of an infant if you’re getting your fingers pinched into this... one thing you have to do to avoid that happening is.... wait for it.... not put your fingers in the rungs as you close it 🤯

[@crisvalencia4820]

It's amazing that thing doesn't bend........interesting

[@da751]

great video, however what bothers me about these types of ladders is that after watching just about every video I could find on them I still haven't seen one where anyone goes up higher than 3 or 4 steps. I get the feeling even the people promoting these ladders don't fully trust them.

[@christopherpavlicas]

You're right, however, where this ladder really shines is not the longer sizes but rather the 12.5 ft size for situations where you need to be a little higher than a standard straight 10 ft ladder and too cumbersome for an extension ladder. It feels safe enough when painting in the 9 ft to 14 ft range. Anything higher just use your extension ladder.

[@niranjansaini8361]

what price

[@th3unmaker]

$389 retail

[@liveinmyamerica]

Not sure, but I think your wife may have been mocking you in the lead in? It was funny though and I enjoyed it, sorry.

[@زيدلسعدي]

روعة

[@HeiderSati]

I bought one and it's the worst thing I bought, it was so bad that it was actually dangeous, I extended it all the way up to a loft, climbed all the way up, I stood on top for about 3 seconds looking for the light switch in a customer loft, suddenly, the whole thing dropped and steps started to collapse, I almost fell if I didn't catch the door, second attempt using it on another site exactly same thing happened, I can't trust this whatsoever, bought this morning and tomorrow I am definitely returning it back

[@twintriode]

Well Idaho until they make a usable size (28' 32') I'm out.

How can you extend it back down ? You can't extend something smaller , the hint is in the word exxxxttteeeennnndd

[@scotia4429]

+The Idaho Painter it's not a thought , it's fact

[@Blueink805]

Looks like you have to watch your fingers while retracting the ladder.

[@Idahopainter]

Yes, you should!

[@Rockbottom-f1h]

My destroyed thumb says lookout!! For real!

[@johnnyjimj]

I wish ACTUAL LENGTH of ladders were specified instead of the industry standard FAKE MEASURE that is always several feet shorter >:-( If your roof is 20 feet THIS '20 FOOT LADDER' WILL BE 4.5 FEET TOO SHORT >:-(

[@Idahopainter]

Dang it

[@johnnyjimj]

Thanks for your understanding... My purchase of a '21 foot ladder' was a pure waste when I needed to reach the roof on a duplex 19' off the ground yesterday when it tuned out said '21 foot' ladder was missing 6" to reach the edge of the roof fully extended... Had to scramble to get a longer ladder while everyone was waiting... Live and learn and never believe the marketing BS ;-)

[@liennto]

just got one and once it's extended, there's so much weight on the release buttons they wont budge. I've killed my thumbs trying to push them. simply wont go

[@Singh_Preet57]

Try lifting each step a little and then push the release button

[@johnkeating2828]

seemed to bend while you were on it

[@vqfive]

You said I can extend 20 feet but you didn't show us that it can extend 20 ft

[@Idahopainter]

Oh yes, must show

[@thomasleon5146]

My friend this ladder is not trusted , a friend of mine just fall down and almost die ,is a sue to that company 2steeps crack and broken

[@chaddles623]

This is a 15'6" Ladder not 20' I own it and the black version also, I wish they made a 20' version

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for watching!

[@WOLFMOON275]

just bought one. Like I have done at least a dozen times before I attempted to pressure wash my townhouse today with this. This thing is a DEATH TRAP. It might be good for some light duty chores around the house, but not for climbing to your roof or pressure washing. The rungs are square and when the ladder is on an angle, (like it should be) you are standing on the corner of these squares rungs they are not angled like they should be; which ends up being very painful with work shoes on. (couldnt last 10 minutes with my sandals on) It bends so much climbing up that it get flush up against the building when you get a little more than half way up. I am 6'0 180 lbs so im far from overweight. Not to mention, each side pivots, not stable at all. Ive worked on ladders most my life, I am 50 now, and I can honestly say, THIS IS A TERRIBLE LADDER, they havent perfected this design yet, although a good concept.

[@thomasbarlow4223]

Best ladder until you get any sorts of shmoo on it. Then it's a big heavy POS

[@coleclifford1991]

what sorcery is this

[@RamBowMike]

Worst ladder on the market to operate. Sometime it takes 10-minutes to close the Xtend ladder and, you will be totally worn out just from getting it to finally close. (Thats the truth)

[@jorgemorocho5147]

wow dude use common sense and flip it upside down for the last 3-4 rungs

[@bangthumper1195]

LOL CLICK BATE It’s not a 20’ extending ladder. Why wouldn’t you fully extend it and show everyone how shaky it is and show us you working on something 20.5’ from the ground. LOL That’s ok I’d probably be to scared too.

[@mm-2018]

Looks sketchy..

[@CHAOSMOVEMENT]

Come on you aren't pushing the ladder but you tell everyone to share your video? Lol. How much weight does this ladder handle? I'm fat.
