I need to do occasional stepladder work - trimming trees and my

high enough, and stability can also be marginal.

I am wondering if it is time, as a precautionary investment to
reduce the risk of injury, to get something better.

The Rolls Royce solution might be something like the 10 ft
version of this:

Are they as good as claimed?

Is there a better value alternative?

I would have to store it outdoors - any suggestions for chaining
it up securely?

Get an ordinary ladder and fit a stabiliser:

Use a good-quality bicycle chain through several rungs to a secure wall
fixture.
