I bought the original one years ago. It still does the job & looks almost new. The odd scratch here & there but still holding up. Best investment I ever made. Strong, sturdy & works great on stairs.
I have a Little Giant that I bought close to 30 years ago. Makes a 6' to a 9' step ladder and a 19' extension ladder. Not fiberglass. A little heavy but the dam thing is indestructible. I like that you can set the legs unequal and use it on stairs. The safest ladder there is imho. I even set it up as an a frame ladder over a big pump put a chain fall on it and lifted the pump. Not having the folding bar between the front and back sections like a regular step ladder is a big plus when yor working in mechanical rooms
@Pavel Martinov Its not about the money but rather I would think just from watching the video that having to constantly fiddle with the adjustments would get really aggravating very fast. To me that little giant is a gimmick.
I've has one of these on my wish list for years (nonmetallic little giant, that is) but it's never made it high enough to actually be a priority. problem is the only application I can't do with my normal ladder inventory is stairs.
Hi Rob! Sideways? I'm not sure what you mean by sideways. This ladder is useful for stairs though. Also, the all-terrain feature might give some extra stability.
@@RobertLeBlancPhoto I see. I really don't know but it seems like it would work sideways on stairs. I can see now that I should have asked Matt more questions.
@@SparkyChannel That's ok. I'm thinking if they could be used for this, Matt would've included it in his presentation. They may not extend enough for this purpose, which would be an unfortunate oversight in design.

Great to hear!
That covers a lot of applications. Great video Sparky.
It really is an amazing design. They must spend a lot of time at Little Giant designing these ladders. Thanks Gary!
Bought one of those old style little giants. Came in handy after a hurricane, fix my son place, easy to transport.
What's a son place and why does yours need fixing?
its growing there sparky!
LOL! It sure did!
ordering one next week. what a ladder!
Sounds good!
That’s a neat ladder Bill…
I agree. Thanks Bill!

Hi Ed! Yes, safety is what it's all about with ladders!
Its nice but as a homeowner I prefer to just have individual A-frame ladders of varying sizes and a single 17 ft aluminum slide ladder.
Got it, thanks!

Unrelated question, Mr. Bill - what is your recommendation for a torque screwdriver to purchase for the career electrician?

@@SparkyChannel my guy! I appreciate it very much, Mr. Bill.
@@OneMillionBuddhas They are 1000V insulated as well. No problem brother!

It looks like he could have kept going on the a frame to make it an 8 footer
Can the leveling legs be adjusted so that the ladder can be used sideways on stairs?

@@RobertLeBlancPhoto It isn't really meant for that so not an oversight.
You forgot to ask when these would be available and how much they cost! That would be in two or three weeks and it's a $500-ish ladder.

@@SparkyChannel unfortunately, that article is from 2012. The ladders are made in China, as stated on their own website.
He’s says it’s about 30 lbs but it’s listed at 42 lbs
Thanks!
