Your recommendation is a good one. When I was making my decision, I also went with the smaller version and use a regular extension ladder for high work.
Really good advice on using a wall to do a straight lift. Due to is ladder’s top weight it is incredibly dangerous to lift in that configuration alone. It is best to use a hard hat just in case, or invest in an aluminum based straight ladder instead. As for the A frame configuration this ladder is solid. Just heavy to lug around on site. Definitely has its share of tradeoffs.
Thank you for being truthful about this ladder. We thought we were buying something innovative, multipurpose and able to save space. In the end, i feel it's more of a hassle for outside extension type ladder use. In the end, i may end up getting the standard extension ladder for outside and using this one for painting stairwells, foyers, etc
These are not "all-in-one" and your done purchasing ladders.You're going to need lightweight extension ladders as well. Any fold up style is going to feel wobbly in the middle. They really fold up compact for storage, though, that's the problem with extension ladders is finding storage in a garage.
I believe it would be easier if you only extend one side of the ladder at first. Then, lift it up to the wall and extend the rest of the ladder in it's upright position for easier use. The way you did it in your video made it much harder.
@@TechWallsReview Hmm... I get that. I guess I've never read the instructions. That's just how I've always done it. I usually extend the top half then raise the ladder into position and then extend the bottom half as I need it to get it the rest of the way up. It seems to work well for me. Probably not best but it feels a little better than struggling with it from the ground. Although I'm going to get a 22 footer today which may be a while new ball of wax. 🤔😉
I have been using little giant for years. I always start extending in upright position. After I do the top. The bottom is easy to push up section by section in upright position
I am looking to buy one, either 22 or 26 ft; whichever fits in my Civic. I agree, they are extremelly shaky where they connect. If you have a truck or van, better just get a 17 ft for working on stairs and a longer regular extension ladder which are lighter and safer.
This review is so embarrassing. It’s an amazing ladder. So I was confused about the title, only took 5 seconds of Watching you climb up it like a scared grandma, until it all made sense. Why bash a ladder made for real men?
These Gorilla or Little Giant or Werner on 22 or 26 ft reach are extremelly shaky and filmsy. Climb one of them and then climb in a regular extension one and compare weight and sturdiness. This guy was scare to climb it and was using one foot at a time.
Ladder is a little far from the wall. That’s why it’s bouncing so much on you.
True that. There are videos on how far to put your ladder from the wall.

Thank you for demonstrating how to stand up such a long ladder. I thought about buying the 26 ft version. Well Done

I feel if you watched the training videos available, you would have found that there is a smoother way to lift the ladder
I read manual and watched all those videos. This is the recommended way.
Good video. Thanks for noting how awkward these types of ladders are. Thanks!
It is a perfect ladder for cleaning the gutter. Plus it is perfect for a ranch style house

I followed their instructions. It is heavy and unsafe to extend the ladder in upright position.

I agree with you about how to extend the ladder out
I am looking to buy one, either 22 or 26 ft; whichever fits in my Civic.

So, is not so safe to work at maximum tall with this? Is so unstable the middle part?
Dude I got this ladder and it is top quality I used it fully extended with no problems…bad review 😂
Real world use. Most guys buy a ladder without reading instructions and just start climbing.
the bottom of the ladder is waaaay too far out, this is dangerous
I followed instructions, my hand barely touches the ladder with my feet at the base. I guess the angle is around 70 degrees.
ok good to know thank you

@@joaquinsuarez6090 I've been up and down my Little Giant for 40 years like a squirrel. It's a 1A rated ladder! Better stay on the ground, Dude.
Real professionals use extension ladders for exteriors access. There is a reason why we dont use multi position ladders.
Those multipositions leathers shake and bounce like crazy and get worse with weight on you like shingles, wood, etc.
@@eegg6954what size? 26 ft or 22 ft reach?
The 17 ft reach are not as dangerous or shake as much.
