Re: [BlindHandyMan] Little Giant ladders

2007-06-07 Thread Scott Howell
I have to step in here and say I have a Grillia which in fact can  
come apart and you can get a piece that would run between the two  
sections to make a tressle. Mine at least came with a set of curved  
pieces so that when the ladder is taken apart, you fit them to the  
curved pieces that make basically two step ladders. Now they aren't  
going to be very tall, but it would do the job for walking around a  
room to paint, patch, etc.

[BlindHandyMan] Little Giant ladders

2007-06-04 Thread Lee A. Stone


 I know a couple of years ago we had a discussion on this list about 
those Little Giant Ladders.  Well I finally got the chance to  try to 
pick  one up in a Sams Club we went  to. Not to buy it but just to heaft 
the thing. I'm thinking it weighs more than my old wooden two stage 
Ladder. It is also out of my price range, not that I am in the market to 
buy such a ladder. I own a basic  2 stage   Al. ladder  and a very old  
two stage  wooden ladder which i inherited as it came with the last 
house and a six foot   I think fiberglass step ladder. that little giant 
seems to me also that on days like today that it would be mighty 
slippery. L

Home Depot sells the same ladder under a different name for about 1/3 of the
cost.  I do not recall the brand name it is sold under.  the only regret I
have with mine is that I didn't get the 20 foot instead of the 13 foot.

It seems to just collapse down sort of like an antenna just extends out from a 
radio. They can go straight out to lean against something or even be used as a 
free standing step latter. The real advantage as I see it is that once you're 
done using it takes up very little storage room, fold it up and stand it in the 
corner of a shed ETC. Certainly for somebody who doesn't have a garage or in 
another manner limited by space a must have for sure.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Little Giant ladders

2007-06-04 Thread Dan Rossi
If I might expand on what Dave has explained about the Little Giant 
ladder.  It has multiple sections of ladder that are hinged together and 
can lock into multiple positions.  Thus, you can unfold the ladder 
completely and make a single long ladder.  You can have it fold in the 
middle to make like an a frame step ladder.  You can have say three 
sections on one side and one section on the other so that you can stand it 
on stairs or a hill.  You can have the end sections vertical and the two 
middle sections horizontal and make a tressel or scaffold.

Hope that explains it.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Little Giant ladders

2007-06-04 Thread Dale Leavens
At the risk of annoying someone, I have read more than one report about these 
ladders which insist that although at demonstration displays where the salesman 
flips the ladder about into and out of all sorts of configurations for tackling 
every imaginable climbing and trestle task apparently effortlessly, it is a 
very different thing to achieve on your own.

I did however write this some months, maybe years ago now and was soundly told 
by a list member, don't remember who that the ladders are just wonderful. 
Clearly someone is buying them and lots of them.

I have a 28 foot and 24 foot extension ladder both of which I find fairly 
difficult to wrestle about and all they do is go up and down. Mind you a 15 
foot ladder would be half the weight and would provide a short trestle to a 
height useful I suppose around a single story house.

Anyway, my advice is to be ware. Any serious use of a platform probably is best 
achieved with a proper scaffold.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Little Giant ladders

2007-06-04 Thread Dan Rossi
AH, I have been corrected.  Not that I was wrong, I've never been wrong, I 
just wasn't absolutely correct.  *GRIN*

there are various ladders of this type, according to someone who owns a 
Little Giant Specifically, you can't use it as a tressel with the two ends 
vertical and the two middle pieces horizontal.  You have to separate it 
and make two A frames and lay boards across the tops of the A frames.

I know there is one version of this type of ladder that you can make a 
tressel out of though.  So, make sure you read the box so you know exactly 
what you are getting.

I paid about $100 for my folding 13 foot ladder.  I think the 20 foot goes
for 200 bucks or so.  So about 1/3 to 1/2 of the price of the Little giant.
Comparing my Gorilla ladder, I now recall the brand, to my cousins Little
Giant, they are exactly the same.  take the labels off and you wouldn't be
able to tell the difference.
I weigh about 275, and the Gorilla ladder hasn't broken or bent under my use

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Little Giant ladders

I've seen three such ladders.  Home Depot carries the Little Giant and the
Gorrilla.  These two ladders are virtually identical.  The third ladder I
saw of this type was one made by Werner.  You can see the Werner at Lowe's.
The Werner looks a little different than the Little Giant and Gorilla but
it's function is the same.  As I recall, the Werner extended to 22 feet.  I
own the Gorrilla and consider it to be one of my most useful tools.
 
Take care,

Hi Mike,
 
I think you might be wrong about the Little Giant and the Gorrilla being
identical.  If memory serves, the Little Giant is 19 feet tall and the
Gorrilla is 18 feet 11 inches. smile  I'm not sure if those are exactly
the right numbers but I do remember it being a difference of an inch or so.
I think this is the way they get around any patent enfringement and the
like.
 
Take care,

I paid about $100 for my folding 13 foot ladder. I think the 20 foot goes
for 200 bucks or so. So about 1/3 to 1/2 of the price of the Little giant.
Comparing my Gorilla ladder, I now recall the brand, to my cousins Little
Giant, they are exactly the same. take the labels off and you wouldn't be
able to tell the difference.
I weigh about 275, and the Gorilla ladder hasn't broken or bent under my use
and abuse.

Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Little Giant ladders

Does anyone know what the longest model they make in these type ladders? 
Some one on this list mentioned they could be bought at home depot for a 
third of the cost. Will this person please give us a rough idea of what 
that cost is?
