Call it an overachiever: The Xtend & Climb ladder expands from a 2.5-foot-tall base to 12.5 feet. That means it's readily stowable and, better yet, incredibly versatile — unlike most big utility numbers, it does double duty as a stepladder. It also boasts an ergonomic design, with rubber edges that grip surfaces and a built-in carrying handle.
