I use one everyday for work for over two years. Love the ladder. Always remember to put the wheels up in the air when ya got it extended. It can roll out from underneath you if you’ve got the wheels on the ground
Thank you Dave. You just helped us figure out how to set up the Little Giant 22 to repair the roof of our shed. Your demo is great! Easy to follow and understand.
Perfect - just the video I needed- I need a new ladder and was comparing a few- this seems to be exactly what I need but I am looking at the 26 foot. I'm a lady that does not want a bunch of different ladders hanging around and this seems to fit for a lot of different purposes. I appreciate you doing this video
I have the same ladder. Expensive, heavy but it is nice to have. I use mine in almost all position for painting the inside of the house. You are correct, the leveler should be on 4 side. I wish they give the accessory to make it into a scaffolding but I will buy it later.
Shopping for a Little Giant for a while now. No levelers on one side seemed kind of silly to me, especially when you're paying $100 more at Lowes for this over the model below it without any levelers. Kind of harder to justify the extra $100 if I may need blocks to finish leveling it myself.
Thanks Dave for showing the capabilities and how to safely use the ladder. I just got the 26 footer. Price made me go ouch but I have a small repair I am going to DIY that would cost me more than the price of the ladder if I had to pay for someone to eventually come by to do a half *ssed job on it. By the way it just barely fit into my 2017 BMW X3 poking through between the driver and passenger seat.
There are very few videos of people using these fully extended! Wanted to see if the flex was normal or not, looks like it is. It’s a little scary when you’re on it, but I guess I’ll just have to get over that! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. It doesn't look as rigged as a regular extension ladder and the feet looks like it could sink into loose soil since they are so narrow unlike the feet of an extension ladder. That's my only concern in getting one.
Yes, a regular extension ladder is more stable, but this one held me up fine. I weigh about 250, and it supports up to 300. It's a little shaky as you seen in the video. But it has worked fine for my uses
@@davethewoodworker1043 Thanks for your quick response. It literally made me to decide to get it, and I just put my Christmas lights up with it and love how versatile it is. Thank you. I've subscribed and look forward to your other videos. God bless and have a Merry Christmas!
Nice review, thanks for posting this video! How difficult is it to "raise" the ladder if you use it as an extension ladder at the maximum height? Is it a two person job to stand it up? Thanks
Little giant demo videos extend the ladder when it is at the extension position on the ground first and then walk the ladder upright. If the extension is on the longer side, I would have someone assist with holding the ladder steady.
@@bluzane I was looking at regular ladders - not folding ones. I meant I got the folding Little Giant because a regular one wouldn't fit in my car. But I bet you're right that a Little Giant from Home Depot would have fit in my car. But I have a 4Runner and a trailer now, so I can buy all the ladders I want!
Dave, I noticed that only the ones from lowes has a silver leveler and all the others have orange levelers. Do you know of any difference between these 2?
@@davethewoodworker1043 yes it's only the lowes one that has the silver levelers. All the others have orange levelers. Do you know the difference in these 2?
@@johnny9048 , I stayed with old fashioned style ladders. The biggest problem with these contortionist ladders is dirt finds its way into the pivot joints. One side might lock but the other side doesn't.
when you fully extend the ladder for every four feet you go up you need to come one foot out from the wall. 20 feet up equals 5 feet out. you should learn to use the ladder before filming
Ya ok. You put a couple hundred pounds on your belt line and put a ladder with two aluminum pins holding the middle on a 4-1. For someone who knows everything you sure don’t think about anything.
I use one everyday for work for over two years. Love the ladder. Always remember to put the wheels up in the air when ya got it extended. It can roll out from underneath you if you’ve got the wheels on the ground
Thanks I've have too remember that
Would you trust the M26 fully extended?
Thank you Dave. You just helped us figure out how to set up the Little Giant 22 to repair the roof of our shed. Your demo is great! Easy to follow and understand.
You're welcome
You can tell by your videos that you are a good dude Dave. I find your videos informative and refreshing, keep up the good work!
Thanks

Thanks for your excellent video Dave . I got the 18 foot LG yesterday and have been checking it out . All the best.
This is the most practical video I've seen to help me decide a buying decision. ThanX!

Just purchased mine haven't looked at it yet but I'm sure I love it
You will
When you extend it you’re supposed to flip it. I saw you flipped it to where the bend was underneath
I would like to have seen more use of it in the step ladder configuration

I just got one and need to use it fully extended. Wish me luck.
@@RicardoGomezToro How did it feel using it fully extended?
@@ryderstrong3899 he died
Excellent video man, thanks for your time 👍🏻
You're welcome
Very helpful video. Looking to get one myself.
You're welcome
Showed me I can use this ladder for my 20’ curtains instead of contracting and pay over $200. I can buy it for $240 and for further use.
Thanks Dave. Got one at Lowe’s this week for $129. Didn’t have leveler or wheels though.
I don't like the wheels but the leveler is essential if you do frequent ladder work IMO
Is it ok to use in harsh winter environments? I’d hate to buy one & use it to get snow off the roof only to have it start rusting right away.
Well it's made of aluminum, so you don't have to worry about rust

Thanks, will I did it by myself
I find it to be a pain in the ass to raise by myself fully extended.
@@ryanjohnson7504 Thanks, yeah that's what I was guessing. I'd mostly be using it as an extension.... maybe I should go for a traditional ladder

Thanks Mr. Dave.
You're welcome
Great review, just what I need. Where did you get it?
Lowes
I have one. Perfect because I don’t have a truck, but I could order it off Amazon and have it delivered.
I was able to fit this in my Prius. you have to lower the backset and it will just be fine

@@ffrob2001 know I don't
Any new videos coming soon?
It’s definitely an uneasy feeling when the darn thing is bouncing while you climb it. So much so I dread using it while extended.
I did too, but it held up
@Random Brandon because I'm a man, 😂
So the wheels go at the top of the ladder not at the bottom ??
?
Yes
@@davethewoodworker1043 thanks Dave!
As a former contractor, all I can say this is thee worse ladder to use on the job site. I was sooo happy to find a sucker who bought it from me.
What did you replace yours with?

@@robertcornelius3514 makes sense, thanks !
good job bud!
Thanks
How far does the leveling thingys extend?
7 inches
Great Video
Thanks
I have the same shirt lol.
you had it u[side down sometimes , he wheels always go on top !!!!
If you have the wheels at the top, you couldn't use the levelers
damn 22ft aint much can't even get to the roof
A lot more stiffer then the gorilla for sure.

The guys not a professional ok..he's just sharing..as he said he just got it. Why do people have to always be so negative ?
