2.9mt ladder that folds to 0.8mt and fits in a bag.
£60 reduced to £50, not bad, saves carrying much more than a pair of short steps

I've used one and the main benifit is for places of limited access such as inside roof spaces or if for example you are using a small car when pricing something up.You must ensure , however, that they are clean when contracting it as dirt can make them stick and some people are tempted to give it a "tap" with a hammer to move it which only serves to make it worse over time as the metal becomes distorted.
All in all though unless you are the size of a hippopotamus it seems a reasonable deal.
