ran across this on the harbor freight site. looks like a great substitute for my step ladder. anybody use one of these? pros cons?

Pretty neat but I'd probably stick with my ladder.Sometimes the customer would probably be a little apprehensive about attaching anything to their vehicle even though it appears harmless.Besides, I'd probably trip over it.

Greetings dgarza,

I have one of those over the tire step stools, but, have not used it in years as it is a bit heavy, and, as cure4glass' point about "customers being apprehensive about attaching things", I totally agree. One does need to guard against potential accusations that "could" arise. We use 3ft. aluminum step-ladders. They are light, extremely handy if your are only 5'6" like me.

I used the tire step years ago when doing things like schoolbuses, or semi-trucks. But in retrospect the 3 footer would have been better

Hello all,
My first post here. We have been using milk creates for about 14 years now. Just go behind your local grocrey and you'll see them. My 2 cents worth.

I busted my butt using milk crates, go to Wal-mart and spend 12-15$ on a plastic step stool, they work great and won't scratch paint. I also have a wheel step I seldom use, except on road tractors.
