A telescoping ladder combines the adjustable height of an extension ladder and the easy storage design of a step ladder. To change the ladder height, extend the legs to the appropriate length and retract the back when finished. Because of this, telescoping ladders are versatile and can replace a step stool or a two-section extension ladder. Unlike step ladders, however, a telescoping ladder does not have extra support and must be leaned against a wall or sturdy frame.
Uses: Heavy-duty indoor projects and outdoor projects, such as painting walls, cleaning gutters, or general maintenance
