Werner salesmen often tout their riveted rungs, claiming that the! T5 g. |, A. w" D% P

% E) f( J2 E* A! [6 C0 |1 nI once read a review of a Little Giant Ladder from a Werner customer.2 q0 Z# {1 Q" @7 x
He touted the strength of Werner riveted rungs (obviously, he hadn

plastic clips." A little research reveal that instead of clips or
S& |# X' L$ `6 `rivets, the Little Giant is constructed using dual pass zigzag welds.! P( c$ K7 |! L7 p0 j2 A
The unique design of these ultra strong welds helps to keep you safe.% D1 d: H W, \! T$ v

The bottom line is that the safety features of the Werner telescoping
