1) Tools & Hardware Home Improvement Little Giant 10103LGW Ladder System 22- Foot 300-Pound Work Platform, With Hinge and Tip and Glide Wheels by Little Giant Ladders. A super-solid ladder in stepladder mode: it´s like standing on stairs, and that´s great for such things as pressure washing the second story of a house. This will get your feet up 6-8´ or so and rock solid.

That said, this weighs a LOT, and it isn´t easy to fit into tight spaces. Also, I need full-extension mode to reach my second-story roofline. My dog´s fetch ball got up there two days ago, and I´m not looking forward to setting this unit up for that two-second task. Unlike a telescoping extension ladder, which you can just point upward and pull a rope to extend, this ladder needs to be fully extended on the ground and then swung into place (anyone eager to swing 22´ of aluminum around from one end?) In principle, you could do the final extension with the ladder in vertical position, but that could crush your fingers if you let anything slip. Right now, I´m thinking I´ll sell the ladder and use separate extension and step ladders.

I have not tried a smaller Little Giant, and maybe with the size and weight issues lessened, that would be all roses. So this review is only for the 22´ type 1A.¤

2) Tools & Hardware Home Improvement Little Giant 10103LGW Ladder System 22- Foot 300-Pound Work Platform, With Hinge and Tip and Glide Wheels by Little Giant Ladders. I´ve had the Little Giant Ladder for almost five years now. My ladder does not have glide wheels, but I have the work platform and the plank. It is very versatile. I´ve used it in all variations to do painting, gutter work, climbing on the roof, etc. It works as a step ladder and an extension ladder without wobbling. The downside is that it is heavy and when fully extended to 22 feet as an extension ladder it is difficult to handle by yourself.¤

3) Tools & Hardware Home Improvement Little Giant 10103LGW Ladder System 22- Foot 300-Pound Work Platform, With Hinge and Tip and Glide Wheels by Little Giant Ladders. I weigh 450 pounds. I was never meant to be on a ladder, period. So why I decided to paint my own house is beyond me (I blame it on my wife). Originally I was going to have help with the high parts, like the gable ends at 25´ up but at the very last minute my help bailed on me, but only after I bought the paint sprayer and the pressure washer. I was beyond the point of no return. A year back my father in law had bought this ladder, but decided it was too heavy, and let me have it. I read up on it and discovered it is rated for 300 pounds, and that it has withstood tests up to 1200 pounds. I decided to go for it. As a big guy, I inherently hate heights and especially ladders, but I climbed this fully extended nightmare one rung at a time and gradually made my way up. It got a bit bouncy in the middle, a little creaky 3/4 of the way up, but it held. I made it. Over the next week I would make that climb over and over as I trimmed the fascia, or installed shutters, or sprayed the gables. I also found myself using the ladder over the front porch, or along the eves, or even straddling a fence (no cross bar is kind of nice sometimes) to get just the right angle to paint the downspout. I survived, and I´m pretty amazed at this thing. It´s one of those things that just plain works, and I appreciated that a lot. It folds down to almost nothing, so it´s easy to store and move. I really can´t complain seeing as how I´m alive still and everything, but I will say that the rungs are a little narrow and tend to hurt your feet after a while. I guess this is why other reviewers have said the work platform is a must, but I wasn´t about to push my luck with that.
I can say this is the ladder for 450 pound guys who hate ladders. If it held me, you´ve got nothing to worry about.¤

4) Tools & Hardware Home Improvement Little Giant 10103LGW Ladder System 22- Foot 300-Pound Work Platform, With Hinge and Tip and Glide Wheels by Little Giant Ladders. My wife and I were at a home show in 1984, where a Little Giant ladder was being demo´d and sold. I was impressed that 4 of us large men could (and did) stand on the ladder at once. But I felt it was too much money for a ladder. However, my wife insisted that one fall from a ladder would cost us much more than the price of the Little Giant 22 ft ladder. So we bought it, and have been using it for 24 years. It´s just wonderful. It´s so safe that I was able to relax and work comfortably up there. Now that I´m over 65 and physically wrecked, the ladder is too heavy for me, and I don´t climb it anymore. But my wife still uses it, as do the people who work on our properties. This ladder is one of those pieces of equipment that seems expensive, but turns out to be a bargain in the long run. If you find it too heavy, don´t buy one. Otherwise, don´t wait. If it won´t fit in your car, get a shorter version. You will probably enjoy many years of using a safe and comfortable ladder.¤

Arrived today and gave me quite a work out just to pull it out of the box. It is HEAVY and difficult to move around. Immediately, I suspect I will use it alot, this is one of those got to have it items, made in USA and with LIFETIME warranty, excessively well built and exceeding all practicalities. It´s HEAVY an bulky, not a first choice for household chore.¤

Look high and low, but you´re not going to find a better ladder than this one. Not only is it incredibly stable when extended, it takes the place of seven ladders and two trestles, and you won´t even break a sweat converting it. Two outer ladders telescope over the inner unit, and a locking center hinge on the inner ladder makes the A-frame possible without spreader bars or braces. The locking assembly was smooth and positive in our trials; the inner ladder slid freely and easily. Transforming the ladder from one configuration to another was no struggle at all. The inner and outer side rails are made of aircraft-grade aluminum; slip-resistant rungs and feet made us feel like we hadn´t left the ground. Yes, it costs a bit more than other ladders, but you get what you pay for. This ladder will last a lifetime, and it´s the only one you´ll ever need. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste¤
