A step ladder is a versatile and practical tool designed to provide a stable platform for reaching elevated areas. They typically consist of two hinged sections that can be opened into an “A” shape, with steps or rungs fixed between them. Step ladders are commonly used for tasks like changing light bulbs, painting walls, and accessing shelves that are out of reach. They offer a safe and convenient solution for various household and light-duty tasks, with their foldable design allowing for easy storage and portability.
