Stable Ladder for people who don't like Ladders Apr 30, 2000
By Al the Pal
"Al the Pal"
I've had my Little Giant for four years. It is always the first ladder I go for because it can do almost anything. I've used it for trimming and picking fruit trees, working on a wall above a roof, general construction, painting and handywork. It has even had a 450+ lb. guy on it without creaking!The ladder is much more stable than a conventional step ladder, due to its splayed lower legs. It is also more stable against a wall in the extention mode for the same reason. Each side is independently extendable so it is great on sloping surfaces. It can be climbed from either side in the step ladder mode. The best thing about it is that when it is fully collapsed, it stores in about the same space as a five foot step ladder. It will also stand by itself, so you don't need to lean it or hang it on a hook. It easily lays in a pickup bed or accross the back seat of a full size car. Wing also makes a "work platform" for this ladder that adds to its versatility. You climb above it and kick it out to stand on. You can use it as a tool or paint platform on the opposite side of the ladder. There is a way to assemble the ladder as two independent step ladders to hold a scaffold, with the "work platform" mounted between the two bottom sections keeping them spread apart. If you only want to buy one ladder, this is it!

Why did I wait so long . . . Aug 03, 2001
By Wayne Cannon

I've never used any of my other ladders (other than my 2' one) since getting this one. Sure, it's flexible for uneven heights (across sunken living room, stairs, uneven ground outside, etc.), but what I like most is that it is rock solid!!! The additional "work platform" is very nice to stand on for long periods of time or to set tools on (i.e., consider two if you're on your ladder much). When not fully extended, the overlapping steps create a broad step under foot. It is only a little bit more expensive than a ladder with an equivalent rating (250 lb, versus 150 for many ladders), and only a little heavier. Folded, however, it is easy to carry vertically simply by sticking your shoulder between two rungs and grabbing the second rung below with your hand.

Best Ladder System on Market! Jul 04, 2002
By Youni We first saw this ladder at a home show demonstration and thought it was awesome. [...]The ladder system is intuitive to use right of the box. Its aluminum channel construction is a bit heavier than cheap ladders in the usual home stores,,, but it is very stable; the spread legs make it quite resistent to sliding over; and it flexes very little even when fully extended. As an A-frame it is rock solid and does not shake at all. The ladder comes with a metal anti-slip platform that can be positioned on any step and used as a large ledge for prolong standing or to hold tools. The ladder latches and joints are steel parts and very solidly lock in. I like everything about this ladder! To the best of my knowledge there is no comparable ladder generally available.

Super ladder Mar 10, 2004 I had seen the ladder on infomercials prior to purchase. Then I investigated it on various web sites. It seemed too good to be true, though the price is a bit steep. I was not dissappointed. The stability and ease of use is unparalleled for a ladder. I have used extension ladders, articulated ladders, and I have a multipurpose step/extension ladder and none are as versatile or as stable as the 19' Little Giant. My only complaint was there was some cosmetic damage to the ladder during shipping, because the packaging was not adequate.

Best ladder I've ever used Jan 30, 2002
By C. A Holmes

I'm a big guy - about 260 pounds and most ladders aren't very steady when I'm up there. This ladder is solid as a rock. I was truly shocked the first time I climbed up there. I was about 7 feet up and I ~tried~ to rock the ladder and it wouldn't rock at all. My wife tried it (she's not too keen on climbing ladders) and she thought it was great. If you need a ladder, buy this one - it's worth the money.
