This is the Velocity, which has a leg leveler option. It depends where you buy it from on the height adjustment mechanism. Lowes sells this version that twists, Amazon sells one with rockers.
@@DoresoomReviews I disagree. Go to the Little Giant Website - you'll see the Velocity and the Leveler are two different models. Probably not much difference but calling it how I see it as I have been doing research and purchased one of these ladders recently.
I stand corrected. I think it's a case of rebranding for different vendors though, with the rockers vs twist lock being the only difference I can see. That way they don't have to price match. Little Giant's website lists the Leveler as Type 1AA at 375 lbs rated load while the Velocity is Type 1A, but Lowe's product listing says Type 1A at 300 lbs for the Leveler.

Good review. I've had two of these since 1997. Love 'em. A lot of people climb ladders incorrectly. Don't run your hands up the sides of the ladder. Instead, grasp the rungs as you ascend or descend. If a foot should slip, your hands can catch you. Three point climb -- two feet and one hand or one foot and two hands. Much safer, saved my bacon a few times.
I have the same exact model that's in the video but without the levelers and wheels 😞. This video was perfect, and helped me work up the courage to extend it all the way out like shown in this video. I was in between two houses and the space was narrow. But following this video helped a ton! Extending the bottom half of the ladder up the wall a rung at a time was the key. And he is right, watch your fingers! Great video!
Great video, thanks! I moved across the country and left my LG with a family member, thinking I wouldn’t need one here. Now, a few years later, I miss having one and just orders and received the 22’ Epic model. I also purchased 2 platforms and one tool pouch. Later I’ll be looking at buying the air deck and project tray as well as I see one from a local seller on OfferUp. Obviously, I really like the ladder system. When I was out in the field doing window repair work, I always had the van with ladder racks and 22 and 28 foot ladders on board. For the smaller jobs I had the Werner version of the multi position ladder and was good with that. I had a smaller little giant for home projects but was bled to use my work ones for anything higher. Now that I don’t have access to taller work ladders, I’m will enjoy having the 22, especially with the levelers and top stabilizer spreader arms. These arms also work as top of extension ladder safety handles/poles (for lack of a better name) that you can grab onto as you tech the top of the ladder and step on to the roof or other structures.
Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to make it and post it. I just bought one of these so that I could reach a defective led security light on our pole building. Now I know how to use it. Thanks!
I have the Werner 22ft ladder, got it for $99 brand new. It's heavy as hell and a pitfa to extend and raise to the 22ft height. Wish it had wheels to move and the rungs/treads were wider, they are to narrow.
The old Werner 17ft that I replaced weighed the same as this LG 22ft! I think Werner has cut some weight from their design in the last 10 years though. But $99 is a heck of a deal, I think I paid $220 for my old Werner. The wheels on this LG do make a huge difference too.
Incredible what the clever engineering produces. As far as I'm concerned these ladders are revolutionary. Too bad I can't get them at this side of the Pond, in the EU. Great product..
I have a similar kind of ladder. I really like the style, and this brand seems like it have nicer features than the one I have. I am thinking of getting a shorter ladder (so it will weigh less) since I have a one story home and I don’t like to climb too high. I don’t want to stand on my roof. I just move the ladder along. I may get the one of these. Great review.
Great video! I have had the 17’ version, with the older style rung clips and no leg levelers. When it was time to purchase another, I opted for the 22’ version with the leg levelers and the improved features have spoiled me for other similar ladders like the Werners that we use at work. I would love to pick up the work platform, and trusses to form the scaffolding set. That work bag at the top looks pretty handy too! Thanks for all great info!
Thanks! The first time I used the leg levelers, I was blown away at what an improvement it was over a ladder without them. Previously I had to bring over one of my Rhino Ramps to level out my old ladder without them. It felt like the safest way to do it, but it was always a hassle. The work platform I was on the fence about when I bought this new ladder, but turned out to be an "I'm so glad I bought this accessory" type of addition!
@@DoresoomReviews That’s awesome! I work with someone who has the platform and loves it. I remember seeing it years ago on one of those Infomercials for Little Giant, and thought it looked like a cool design. You’re the first person that I’ve seen to mention it can be stored in the ladder. That’s pretty huge when space is a premium in a work vehicle, or even as a homeowner who may not use the ladder super frequently, having the parts and pieces store together is always a winning idea, to head off the inevitable, “I know I have this thing that goes with this other thing that would be perfect for this application, but now where did I put it?!?”
I appreciate your response to my last concerns. I live in a coastal area, so there's usually some wind [currently 6mph with 10mph wind gusts] ; it's densely populated with street parking to complicate this issue further. I forgot to ask you about the subject of wind and how light to moderate wind [I imagine ladder usage is contraindicated in heavy wind, period?] may/may not be a factor in all this moving the extended ladder from lateral to vertical position. I'd like to be aware whether there's a risk of losing control [beyond basic carelessness] specifically due to wind which would carry the risk of hitting a neighbor's car or a neighboring house or a power line. Generously I'd say there's 12 feet between the house and parked cars and maybe 18 feet at best to the next house. I've purchased the Xtreme 22' and while the specifications clearly state 47.5lbs, but upon arrival is just plain heavy and awkward and the infomercial introducing the Little Giant Xtreme showing the older woman maneuvering around with ease and the older man easily removing it from the backseat of his car are a little misleading as those models I now realize are not at all comparable in weight to the 22' Xtreme. The little giant Xtreme with safety/walk through rails seems like a really cool ladder design in certain ideal conditions, but I'm starting to have doubts on it's practicality and I'm starting to see the value of a traditional extension ladder despite it's large storage length. Do you think your technique of keeping the lower half more densely concentrated for this maneuver should overcome light to moderate wind or is concurrent wind with ladder usage something you've experienced?
Step ladder mode is where it really shines. I agree it's not as sturdy as a real extension ladder, but feels solid enough for the few times a year I need to get on my roof.
@@johnlamb4465 it’s just under 10 feet in A frame. Not tall enough even if you were crazy enough to stand on the top of it. They make 3 “Skyscraper” models that are only A frame and not extension ladder. They to fold in to store and extend from short to tall AFrame. The model 17 maybe be high enough for your project.
FYI; you talked about not grabbing the bars that go from side to side because they might bend. In reality you should have your hands on the side rails, not the rungs when ascending and descending. This keeps you from grabbing anything you may have gotten on the rungs with your feet.
I don't know if it's possible to attach a Louisville ladder stabilizer to this. If you just bought the stabilizer, I'd take it back and buy a Little Giant compatible one like their Wingspan standoff: amzn.to/3XZiTb7
There is a Little Giant Ladder that I would love to get for under $100 at Lowes. Problem is the ladder has a max weight of 300 lbs and I'm around 320 lbs. Would it be unsafe for me?
I'm having trouble picturing exactly what you're asking, but if you're using it in stepladder mode both sets of legs need to be on stable ground to safely use it - not with half of it hanging on the wall.
I like the technique you utilized by keeping the lower half retracted until after it's in the vertical position for the extension/straight ladder position... Guessing that method isn't endorsed by Littlegiant, though. I played it in 0.25x slow motion and see you angled the ladder a little to one leg which I'm guessing provides a little more base stability. Assuming the grass is dry, do you think the grass/ground provides a good point of traction? Do you think the bottom half retracted for the lateral to vertical technique would work on a paved surface like a sidewalk, or have you ever attempted that? Do you have any hesitation about whether you personally could perform this same technique with a 26' model?
That technique works fine on paved surfaces too. I might have reservations about trying it with the heavier 26' model though. It's quite the shoulder workout.
Will the ladder lock at 90 degrees or is there only one locking position at the center articulation? I was thinking about having both sides over a 12/12 pitch.
Essentially the same. The Leveler is actually the one I have in the video. The only difference I can tell between them is the twist locks on the Leveler and the rocker locks on the Velocity. I think Little Giant made the two models to sell with different retailers. Amazon carries the Velocity while Lowes carries the Leveler.
@@DoresoomReviews thanks a million... Do you see the 26' model being a challenge for indoor use and handling by a strong but quite small in stature person (5'2")? I would also hope to store the ladder indoors like lying flat in the closet under the staircase 🙃 Will be looking up your other videos as I move forward with several 'about time' hardware purchases 🐣
I rarely use my 22' version inside, since it's bulky and rather heavy. The wheels do help though, but then you need a wide area to roll it around. Usually I use the 6' Little Giant Flip n Lite for indoor tasks unless I need to reach above 10' high. I wouldn't want to lug the 26' around on a regular basis. If you have a smaller stepstool for smaller tasks, then the 26' might work.
@@DoresoomReviews very helpful - thank you - a lot of indoor work and a lot of out door work.. helpful thoughts - the multi-positional would go along way with indoor jobs given the nature of the house.. will reassess my indoor max height needs - and come up with a good two ladder strategy .. thanks alot 🙂 !
I spent way too long with just a 17' Werner similar to the LG 17' Velocity. No wheels and weighed around 45 lbs. I always put off any indoor task that required me to move it around a lot. As soon as I got the Flip N Lite, I was kicking myself for sticking with "one ladder to rule them all" for so many years. These articulating ladders are still by far the best solution if you can only afford one ladder, or only have room to store one ladder. But if you can buy a big one and a light one, then that's my recommendation.
I need a ladder to work on a 15' vaulted ceiling (texture and paint). Sounds like the Little Giant Velocity 22' could be the right choice. However, I will also have a one-time need to install new eves on the roof which is 25' at the highest point. If I stand on the third rung from the top of a ladder and have a 3' reach beyond the top of the ladder, would the 22' ladder still be suitable for working at a 25' height?
I don't think you'll be able to reach a 15' ceiling in step ladder mode with this. It's only about 9.5' tall when all the way extended in stepladder mode. I have a 16' high peak in my vaulted ceiling, and I can come nowhere close to reaching it. The 22' rating is actually the max reach for a normal height person standing on the third highest rung. So if you need to reach higher, you'll need the next bigger option.
@@RedondoBeach2 if it’s a one time need then renting a ladder might be best. How about building a 3 foot tall riser base big enough to safely set a ladder on? Even with a “fence” board to keep the ladder from ever sliding out?
I show how at 2:04. Push in both of the knobs at the top, then fold it up. If they're stuck, you can just give them a whack with the heel of your hand or use a rubber mallet.
Not really. The plastic parts are mostly just covering the aluminum welds so they don't have to dress them. Literally all the structural components are aluminum.
This is one of the most dangerous ladders I have ever used. It's much too heavy and very awkward to extend. There are too many pinch points to list. You are more likely to get hurt setting this albatross up than you are while using it. It is much safer to purchase a conventional FIBERGLASS extension ladder and a conventional FIBERGLASS step ladder.
I personally like having an adjustable height step ladder with leg levelers. The extension mode isn't nearly as convenient as a traditional extension ladder, but I can deal with it when I do need it. I wouldn't think the extra expense and weight of fiberglass is necessary unless you plan on working on electric power lines. To each their own, I suppose.
I can see where it may be cumbersome for people that are not used to working with such ladders but it’s not a dangerous ladder at all. It only take standard mindful attention when maneuvering it and adjusting it, something you should be doing when working physical with most things you will be doing with this ladder. I have owned a Werner and have used it and many others for years. I have friends and family members (some smaller build than me and some females) that have LG or Werners and not one of them have ever said they were dangerous nor have sold them because of coolants. They all love them.
@@RemmikRotus Use it if you want, but you couldn't give me one. I don't know one professional in any trade that uses one. And what do you mean with your reference to coolants?
100%. I have this ladder and it’s a liability, way too many pinch points and with the bend in the middle, the ladder is extremely unstable if you decide to fully extend it in full length mode. It’s ok when it’s in the folded mode but not good in the extended mode. The funny part, it’s a heavy ladder but that’s the least of the issues.
I can't believe I didn't think to check before I got rid of my old Werner ladder. It certainly looks like it will fit though, and there are quite a few Amazon reviews of the cargo hold claiming it fits Werner multiposition ladders.
You reviewing the "Leveler" model and not the "Velocity". I believe the Velocity has a different height adjustment pin mechanism.

Little Giant lists it as 13'2" in A frame mode, for a 5'6" person with 12" vertical reach. So the safest top step to stand on is 6'8" high.

I can see where it may be cumbersome for people that are not used to working with such ladders but it’s not a dangerous ladder at all. It only take standard mindful attention when maneuvering it and adjusting it, something you should be doing when working physical with most things you will be doing with this ladder.
I have owned a Werner and have used it and many others for years. I have friends and family members (some smaller build than me and some females) that have LG or Werners and not one of them have ever said they were dangerous nor have sold them because of coolants. They all love them.
@@RemmikRotus Use it if you want, but you couldn't give me one. I don't know one professional in any trade that uses one.
And what do you mean with your reference to coolants?
@@joedaniels255 darn autocorrect. I meant no complaints not coolants.
100%. I have this ladder and it’s a liability, way too many pinch points and with the bend in the middle, the ladder is extremely unstable if you decide to fully extend it in full length mode. It’s ok when it’s in the folded mode but not good in the extended mode. The funny part, it’s a heavy ladder but that’s the least of the issues.
Dude doesn't even know what model he's using and we're supposed to look to him for accurate information??
That cargo holder, I was thinking about buying a couple for my Dad. That also fit in the Werner??
I'd like to know this too
There's one in my local Toolstation. . . will find out soon enough 🙂
I can't believe I didn't think to check before I got rid of my old Werner ladder. It certainly looks like it will fit though, and there are quite a few Amazon reviews of the cargo hold claiming it fits Werner multiposition ladders.
