Best ladder?

For hedge cutting, tree pruning, gutter cleaning and general garden type jobs?

 

I currently have one of these:

 

2.7m Hailo Self-levelling combination ladder | eBay

 

but it's been in a couple of 'accidents' and is no longer safe. :blushing::lol: I really like it, and I was thinking of going for the slightly larger version, which looks a right monster:

 

Hailo Pedal Adjustment Combination Extension Ladders 9312-501 | eBay

 

However, it's always worth an ask to see if there's anything better out there? Also, if I get the big one, I will need a light but sturdy stepladder for the smaller jobs, to save dragging the big one off the roof bars. Suggestions for that welcome please as I have no idea on that.

 

Thanks :thumbup1:

No good for the gutter cleaning, but for hedge cutting and pruning small trees, those japanese tripod step ladders are fantastic. After using a set for a while I don't know how people mange without them. :thumbup1:

 

They are really light, though look very fragile, but have stood up to use so far and don't need someone standing on the bottom of them either so have sped jobs up no end.
