Ladders and Scaffolding Reviews

I finally found a project to use this ladder. It is very sturdy and well built. I also bought the extra work platform and scaffold plank. The price is a little high but you get what you pay for and the quality is very good. I am a big healthy guy and found this ladder a bit heavy to wrestle around but it is worth it to have a ladder this sturdy. I enjoyed reading some of the other remarks about the weight of the Little Giant. I will give it a 4 1/2 rating because of the weight. Maybe on the TV commercials they only used half of the ladder.

It's rare that you find a product that delivers everything it claims and then more. PROS: Solid as a ladder weighing twice as much( I have them and they're about to be history). The stability is excellent on a full extension (no torque or bowing) . Quick and easy to use the many combinations.I beleive the hinge is stronger than it's rating. I jumped up and down HARD on half extension(I weight 190) Couldn't do that with my Werner. CONS: 42 lbs. (solid construction). Takes a little time to learn the manipulations.

This is the only ladder you'll ever need. I bought one for my father and he is jumping up and down with joy over it. All the neighbors and friends had to see it and try it out. There is true pride of ownership.
When you get yours, cut out the instructions from the cardboard box and save them. You'll never remember all the configurations you can have. True, there is a video, but you want a cheat sheet when your doing real work and don't have time to watch a video.
Buy the extension for paint cans, etc. It's worth it.
The only disappointment is the wieght of the ladder. It's not bad, but it's so well constructed that a fully configured ladder is a bit heavy. If you want a lighter one, get the 17'. The learning curve can be large for those not mechanically inclined. Don't let these little things stop you though. Jump in an get it.
[...]Knockoffs. Made in China, need I say more? This was built in America, Springville, Utah to be exact. Sure you can get a cheaper ripoff, but "buyer beware" you generally get what you pay for. This is the original and the best. Buy less than the best and you'll probably end up buying it again, and paying more in the long run.
