Rating: - Great price for a scaffolding plank
I bought this scaffolding plank to use with my COSCO ladder that is a less expensive version of the Little Giant. The plank is solidly made and makes a great platform to work on.
My only complaint is that the plank is too wide to fit between my ladder rungs if it is in the shortest setting. Just to clarify, the plank is two symmetrical pieces that slide together, which allows the length extension. When extended, either of the two ends fits perfectly through the ladder rungs, so maybe it is designed this way on purpose.
I also bought the medium length plank because I thought it would give me the most use over time, but I found the medium length plank to be a bit akward when used on stairs with the ladder in A-frame mode or 90 degree mode. Because the plank doesn't fit through the rungs where both pieces meet, this medium length only works at the top of the stairs so it can spread out on the landing. The smaller version ( 6-9 ft.) might work better if you plan on using it inside a lot. Also, I need to find out if other ladders like the werners or little giant are wider to accommodate the plank, but my guess is that they are still not that wide (4" more needed).
Overall, the plank is a great buy for the price, but you might want to get the shorter one if you plan to use it inside on stairs.
Rating: - Great for homeowners with storage problems
Since this is not a very technical item, There isn't much to say about how well it works for its intended purpose. After all, it's a plank... But the real beauty comes in the fact that the adjustable length makes it very easy to store such a long stage in a confined area. I use mine incombination with 2 extension ladders and a couple of scaffold jacks. Works great.
