Folding ladders have become, pretty much, the standard fare in almost every handyman’s roster.  So far, though, I’ve never really seen anything that folds as compact and as cleverly as the AHL Slim Fold Ladder.

It looks like a standard twin ladder at first glance, with two columns of steps leaning on each other at an angle.  Once put away for storage, though, it folds into a long and narrow panel.

The AHL Slim Fold Ladder manages the space-saving transformation by putting hinges on each of the rungs, allowing the outside poles to fold in toward each other.
