Interesting, because I remember my uncle having a Sears walk behind
mower that had a Magnesium deck on it! It had a whole in it where a
rock went through it. I suspect the same thing happened to those as the
ladders!


It had a whole what where the rock went through it?


Make that hole. Don't suppose you've ever made such a mistake when
you've been doing too many things at once, huh?


The "w" and the "h" aren't even close on the keyboard and your excuse is
doing too many things at once? Put "little Kevin" away and play with it
later.

Would anybody pay 4X as much for a ladder than weighed half as much?

A few years ago, I paid $500.00 for a 36 foot type A extension ladder.
It's great and really sturdy & solid... but getting heavier each year.
I used to throw a 40 footer around with ease but times are a changing.
Maybe getting back to a regular exercise program might help.

What's a type A? I know of II, I, and IA.

ooops meant a 1. They also sell flimsy type 111 here, but I wouldn't
recommend them unless you're a girlieman doin' light duties.

Your narrow mind is playing tricks on you. Those ratings above are
strictly for U.S. made ladders. Try the Canadian Standards Association.

I think the type I is 250#. The type III must be less than 200#.
People forget that they might actually carry a few extra pounds up the
ladder and get the wrong one. Here, contractors are expected to provide
ladders for inspectors and they have to be type I or better or they
won't climb them - even if they weigh 150#.
