I see Rochon got to you too, eh? Wonder if he's getting a kickback... Actually I heard him mention something about his the other day before I tuned him out.

I don't have one, but the only drawback I have heard about them is that they are heavy. The guy that told me that has an older one, so they may have lightened them up since he got his. I have considered getting one, so thanks Karen for posting this. It will probably help me make a decision

ive got one. tho its not the littel giant brand name. I like it a lot. Its 13 years old and has been thru the worste of it all and still works great. Keep it stored outside all the time. It is heavy and a pain to set up. For some of them occasional jobs its perfect. And it doubles as a saw horse, a plank stand and numerous other good things.

I bought mine about 15 years ago. I love it. Yes it's a little heavy, but Becky, my 5'6" employee can load it in the truck and set it up no problem.
You'll appreciate that extra weight / strength, when you put 2 people on it to work and it's solid as a rock.
I know I'll never have to be without one since this thing is so well built it will outlast me.

I`ve got a pair with a slide out aluminum plank.Rock solid and easy to set up and transport. I love `em.Take a fall off a wobbly ladder and see how long it takes to heal and the price of the ladders is cheap. Best ladders out there ,bar none.

Same here as Bob P. Two of the twenty footers with the scaffold and clip on bracket for it. Rugged and although on the heavy side, they are solid and safe.

The video is fantastic. That one little naked chick could make that ladder do all sorts of things. I've never seen a ladder that could get into so many elaborate positions and look comfortable. I still watch the video after all these years. Usually on Friday nights after some good wine.

Bob S. you cracked me up good. ----------------
I had one, I loved it, and one day I realized it had gotten too heavy for me to maneuver and that I was using my light weight ladders because that was easier.
(I turned into a Girlie Girl like in the Musical "Oklahoma" as I got older)
Sold it to a local wide format printer for almost what I paid for it, which he was aware of. It's a great tool and holds its value.

I've had mine for about 2 years and would hate to be without it. Yeah, they're a little heavy, but when you're up there pretty high, you'll appreciate the solid feel.
I don't think they're hard to set up at all. Just takes a minute.

Absolutely love it. My employee (who's a big strong dude) complains about the weight, but it's so solid and versatile I don't mind. The only weight I worry about is my fat @ss hitting the ground after falling off some wobbly pos stepladder.
