Little Giant Ladder

Bonegavel · 10-28-2007, 03:51 PM

I am in need of a new ladder and this one seems to fit my needs. Anyone have this? If so, is it worth it?

Save your money and pick up a Gorilla ladder at Home Depot.

Comparing the ladders side by side it is hard to tell a difference since the Little Giant's pattents expired.

FORMER EMPLOYER HAD LITTLE GIANTS.

THEY ARE oK ONLY.

be warned though, they are deceptively heavy, I mean I could move one easily enough, but no way my wife would ever pick one up. Id guess/estimate 45-50 lbs.

and once they get some age the pins get lots of slop and feel shaky...

but still nothing in the world better if you need a ladder on steps...

Well, I pulled the trigger now he's dead. It arrived Saturday via FedEx.

I got the biggest one so I could get up to the very top gutters on my house. CU Tiger, you are absolutely correct about the weight. I had this thing extended to it's fullest and I had a hard time lifting the thing to the top gutter. Jeebus Cristos. This think is a tank.

I probably should have purchased the medium one, but at least now I have access, for the first time, to the very tippy top of mi casa.

To celebrate I proceeded to remove the tree droppings and roof shingle detritus from my gutters. Oh joy!
