Platform Ladder / Scaffold

As mentioned in previous posts, I'm very vertically challenged:(

I had seen a platform ladder that was higher than the one they carry at HD, it's a 3-step PF ladder, 28" high. I found it through QVC, but waited to long to order and they sold out. It was $67.75 plus $11.75 for shipping for a total of $79.50. Thought about special ordering one from Bed, Bath & Beyond - with discount coupon it would be $80.

Was at COSTCO the other day and noticed they had just gotten in a new COSCO BRAND PLATFORM SCAFFOLD. This one is, unfortunately, 7 inches shorter than the other, but then it's also half the price too. And this one has a tray to put items on so you don't continually have to bed, or get off the scaffold to retrieve items. Decided to go back and get it last night.

So, I bought this one last night:

PLATFORM LADDER

I'm going to put some rubber on the side that would be close to the car to protect it from scratching. Found some of those corner bumper guards for tables that's used for little ones, now just need some rubber strip on the edges.

Just thought I'd share this info for anyone who may be looking for something like this:) Has anyone bought this - any thoughts about it?
 
Home Depot has one like that only with out the shelf thing . It cost $29.99 made by Gorilla . If you really liked that shelf thing you could probably rig something up . That shelf isn't worth $50 extra dollars IMO
 
NORAH, similar, but the one AWD mentioned, which I looked at is a little bit shorter, not sure if the width or length is the same, have to check it, but this also has the shelf.

ROLLMAN, the one at HD is $35, this one was $39 - worth the extra $4 for the shelf and a couple extra inches in height:D
 
Wait .. are you saying that you paid only 39 bucks for this thing at costco? Why the link to Target? Is it simply for the picture? If so I am heading to costco...
 
Simply for the picture:D They even show the same one at Sears that is ridiculously priced at $99. From what I found out, SRP is $49.00, from COSCO'S website, but oddly enough, they don't have even a picture of it.

It only mentions from Sept. 2004:

New Additions to Already Popular Ladder Line…Page Two

The second addition to Cosco’s ladder line is the Work Horse Scaffold™ Platform, a functional unit with a unique design. Whether working inside or outdoors, this scaffold is perfectly equipped for the job. Constructed with a lightweight aluminum frame, it has a large work surface measuring 38.5" x 12.5". Included is a deluxe tool tray allowing for easy reach of all tools and legs that lock automatically for added safety. The suggested retail price of the unit is $49.99.

Now, compared to the one at HD, I found this one to be 38-1/2x12-1/5 inches whereas the one at HD is 40 x 15 -not sure about the height of the HD one, but this one I got is 20 1/4" high not including the stand. POLDER also makes a 2 step one, and the 3 step one I orignally wanted. As much as I'd like the extra 6 3/4" in height, I'd rather save my money and just pay half the amount and wear my thick soled shoes;)

GOOD LUCK at your COSTCO!
 
Thanks Deb.. I will be there on the morrow to seek out my prize... keep the fingers crossed...

People is it me or is this detailing addictive? I have a Blue G35 to do, a Toyota Tacoma.. Mercedes S240 and others are looking for my services.. word travels fast...
 
Hope most COSTCO'S have the same merchandise.

When I first saw it I jotted down the info on the COSCTO sign - it's SKU #115677 and a PO # 1741206084 - price - $38.99 Maybe you can call ahead and see if they have it before you run to wherever it is from you:)

The one I originally wanted, it's actually 7 3/4" higher than this one - REALLY could use the height! Wonder if I can find some waterproof 7" PLATFORM SHOES!:lol

Also bought some MF towels they have there. Sign said 20 count for $8.99 but the package was only 16 count - they were $7.29 I believe - they feel thicker than the Microtex I bought at Target. Wonder how they'll be. Wish they'd make them different colors! One day I'll splurge and get some ultra plush!
 
Well, I got to use my new "tool" last night. Have to say, even though I would of liked a little more height, it actually was the first time since I've had this car that I was able to wash the top of it properly! It's pretty close to perfect.

I put a towel on the side until I can get a bumper strip, also covered the rail that holds up the tray and will probably get whatever the stuff is called that you can put over your pipes to insulate, like a cushioned tube over this bar. As you can tell, I'm lost when it comes to just about anything they'd carry at HD!:lol

Anyhow, I'm happy with this purchase!:D It's helping me with what I'm up against with all this pollen and rain!

LOL! Actually, that's the daughter of the guy who thinks I'm nuts (already) in regards to my car AND who I'd be asking to borrow their garage so I can do some work on this car in the shade. Their garage IS actually broken, but once they get it up there, no need to hold it up - I think she's just "stretching" - kid is taller than me (then again, everyone is taller than me!:lol ) and she's just 13!
