A folding step stool will allow you to complete various office and home maintenance tasks quickly and safely. Since folding step stools are collapsible, they are great space-savers which will prove to be a godsend when storage space is limited. Since there's a great selection of these stools in the market, picking out the right stool can be tricky. Our quick buying guide will take you through all the considerations you need to take into account, so you'll be able to get the unit that you require. Let's get right into it.
Material
The first step in choosing the right folding step stools is determining the material that works best for you. Step stools can be made using all sorts of materials, but the most common are aluminum and fiberglass. Both materials have characteristics that make them great for specific applications. You may want to choose depending on your personal preferences. But, if you will be using the step stool near a place with electrical wires or it'll be placed in a hostile environment, then you need a step stool that's made of fiberglass. You can also opt for a wooden unit. Just remember, the use and the stool's placement will have an impact on the right material for you.
Application
Folding step stools for commercial use have a 130 kg maximum load each. If you're looking into getting a step stool for your home, you can use a unit that's made specifically for domestic use, which has a 95 kg maximum load rating.
Grip
There is no good rushing and purchasing the first step stool that you find online if you're just going to slip from it and crash onto the floor; therefore, your step stool must have the right grip. The ideal folding step stool has a non-slip surface. Every step should be able to provide the right amount of grip to your feet. It will ensure you don't slip and lose your balance.
Aside from the grip, your step stool should have non-skid feet. This will prevent you from kicking the steps from underneath you regardless of how much you wiggle.
