DeWalt 4-Foot Fiberglass Step Ladder, 300-Pound Load Capacity, Type IA, DXL3010-04

These are VERY stable ladders. I have the 4-foot, 6-foot, and 8-foot IA stepladders, and the 20-foot IA extension ladder, and they are simply the best ladders I have ever used - even better than the Louisville ladder that one of the stepladders replaced.As I understand it, the DeWalt ladders are made by Louisville, but there IS a difference between the Louisville Type IA stepladder that I had and its DeWalt counterpart - specifically, the wider step(s) on the DeWalt stepladders, which really do add to the sense of stability and comfort of use.The wider steps start with the second step up, with the first step and the top [non-] - plus, of course, the top itself - being of "standard" width. Thus, the 4-foot stepladder has one wider step, the 6-foot has three wider steps, and the 8-foot has five wider steps. It may not seem like a whole lot of difference, but if you spend hours working on a ladder - hanging drywall, running cable, painting, etc. - the wider steps make a tremendous difference in stability, safety, and comfort.The "tool top" is also quite useful, with a good array of inserts and indentations, and a magnetized area, for a drill, screwdrivers, nails & screws, etc., further adding to the ability to work long periods on the ladders with a minimum of climbing on and off - and, thus, further increasing safety while also reducing fatigue.In spite of their stability, the ladders are not especially heavy, and all are easy to move around and place precisely with just one person. (The smaller stepladders are light enough to move with one hand, even while holding tools with the other hand.)In case you're trying to figure out which length(s) are best for your use, this reviewer (a 6-foot 4-inch 200+ pound individual) uses the 4-foot ladder for general work on 8-foot walls, the 6-foot ladder for working at and above unfinished 8-foot ceilings, and the 8-foot ladder for getting into attics and for outside work. The 20-foot extension is just right for accessing outside walls on a single-story house that's built three to four feet above grade, and it's also tall enough to access the roof.

I bought this for washing/detailing my truck, as it sits up high off the ground. I wanted one small and lightweight-ish enough to carry back and forth to the carwash. It’s really sturdy, with the support arms tight enough so that you don’t have to worry about them folding up on you while you’re on top of the ladder. It also has oversized feet with high grip tread on the bottom of them, and lots of holes, hooks, and slots that provide a lot of options to hang tools and other things from the top of the ladder. The rungs also have serrated teeth on them that help grip the bottom of your footwear. Even on the wet concrete of the carwash, I have no qualms about standing on the very top of the ladder. It’s never moved an inch. The box it arrived in was a little worse for wear, but the ladder didn’t have a scratch on it. And that’s really the fault of the shipping company. We all know how they treat our packages. Anyway, would definitely recommend this ladder and buy it again.

while i did find several similar ladders at a lower price none of those were made as well, as sturdy as this one appeared to be. while it may have priced a little more considering the cost of having to get medical treatment these days if you happen to fall? not worth it for me by a long shot.the ladder arrived via amazon shippers. i have never had them at our residence before but WOW i have never had a better experience period! i knew where they were using the provided gps route map. i knew how many stops until ours and they even called in advance to be sure we were around for delivery, excellent! the ladder construction was just as i had hoped for based on the photos here and reviews. it is solid, light and a perfectly designed ladder. having wider feet and four of them unlike some results in better stability. *note - i only made mention of the delivery portion as for this product unlike others, it's part of the ownership 'experience.' is very important considering most of us have more to do than time to do it in. so i didn't lose a whole day waiting and watching and that for me adds value to the ladder.to close up for myself this is a five star ladder all day long so to speak. there is nothing i would change and i would without reservation recommend this to family, friends, to anyone.

Great ladder well made and nice features included in its construction. Everybody at work asks where I got it and is jealous, had to put my name on it to make sure it didn’t disappear.

Great product for the price noComplaints from me

This is definitely a great 4 foot ladder well worth the price. It is nice and sturdy wide steps and has magnet at the top for drill bits this is a well designed letter worth every penny.

Pretty nice! Not the brand I buy normally but it works well!

I bought the Dewalt DXL3010-04 step ladder on sale Black Friday. Shipping was fast, direct from the manufacturer, Louisville Ladder and delivery was without damage. However, upon initial inspection after unboxing, it was apparent these ladders are stored at the manufacturer's warehouse haphazard. The ladder was not used, but filthy with dust and marred in scratches. Okay, I could wipe it down, but then I deployed it to the fully opened position and found the ladder to be unstable. Three of the four legs touched the ground. So, I moved it to several areas in case the ground was uneven and came up with the same result. The ladder didn't sit flat and level to the ground due to one leg being over an inch off ground. The ladder wobbled and was unsafe to use. I was expecting quality considering the Dewalt badge, but what I received was a cheap rebranded Louisville Ladder. This was on the product page, so my fault for not reading through it. Had I known what I was buying, I'd have just went to W-mart to mull a Louisville Ladder purchase in-person. This Dewalt ladder ended up being returned.
