Title: Little giant ladder
Post by: Andrew44 on April 08, 2011, 07:25:10 am

Anyone used them ?  Any good?

They look good for con roofs as they can be angled better and are telescopic.

Any thoughts?

If you are wfp and want to carry just one versatile ladder then the LG type is a good optionl.
They are also very handy when inside on stairs etc.
As mentioned, they are quite heavy but are very stable.
I use mine regularly.

A few questions:

Do you use it when doing con roofs.

If so do you find them more useful than standard ladders when doing con roofs?

Do you ever use them in fully extended as rung ladder (not apex).  I heard they were not as good when used as rung ladder??

cheers

Same questions to you mate as I asked wiz:

I have never used mine fully extended (15').
It is generally used to access roofs and to wfp some windows from.
I use it quite often on inside cleans as a telescoping A frame ladder.
Mine is similar to a LG and the rungs are not particularly comfortable to stand on but I wouldnt be without it.

Yes it is good for connies as one can astride on it as a A shape steps and have both hands free to work on conny  roves I don't like a standard ladder at a conny as jt will bounce on the conny gutter.s
