Pros and cons

Pros

Adjustable extension offers more flexible reach than a fixed-height ladder.
A stated 150kg maximum total load includes the user, tools and materials.
Compact retraction and a carry handle are useful where storage space or transport matters.

Cons

The stated 150kg total limit must cover the user and anything carried, leaving less capacity for tools as user weight rises.
