Little Giant Ladder Systems Revolution with Ratchet Levelers, M17, 17 ft, Multi-Position Ladder,Ratchet Leg levelers, Aluminum + Cargo Hold, Ladder Accessory, Fabric, (15040-001)

It took me a long time to choose this ladder. Wanted top quality in an adjustable ladder at a good price. Very happy with the purchase.Pros: it is exactly what the ads say, adaptable, sturdy, stable, and easy to use. Excellent workmanship.Cons: Price (it's not cheap), Weight (a weakling won't like the 22 ft ladder), rung depth.Regarding the price, I've heard from another LG owner that his son's knockoff is much lower quality; you'll get what you pay for.Regarding the weight, I'm fit and I have very little trouble with it. Watch the videos on how to manipulate the ladder and they help A LOT. My wife is 5'8" so she can lug it around, but anyone much shorter will be inclined to use the wheels. Keep in mind the weight is a factor of the height (22') and weight capacity (300lbs). Get a smaller version, and it will be lighter. Lastly, don't forget that the weight of the ladder adds to it's stability. I never feel unsafe on it.My complaint about the rung depth is a minor point. I typically used an A frame ladder (very deep rungs) and I don't spend a lot of time on an extension ladder, so I'm probably being a baby. If you're going to be standing on the ladder for a while, you may want to buy the work platform. For a simple up-and-down trip, it's fine. FYI, I've done some of that "standing work" (painting overhead) but I still haven't ordered the platform.I may also get the leveling leg, but I haven't needed it yet. The ladder included the brackets to convert to a scaffold, but I haven't used it yet.My neighbor has an older version, and I must say I like the hinge latches and extension latches on my Revolution much better than on his. They're more comfortable on the hands.Now I only have one ladder. The only weakness in this approach is for work less than 8 ft, it's like bringing a bazooka to a duel: the job will get done, but a smaller step ladder would do it easier. I may end up buying a cheap stepladder for that reason... or maybe not. :-)

This ladder is just awesome. If you are going to use it mostly for a 1 size A frame ladder, it is quite a bit heavier than an aluminum ladder of the same size, so I am not sure I would pay the extra money in that case.However, if you are looking for a ladder that can be adjusted to do just about anything you want, then this is the ladder for you.Pros:* I LOVE the leveling feet, when using this as an extension ladder, they are very easy to adjust and work great* It really is simple to adjust it to all the things that you want it to do. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to remember all the adjustments, but in reality it is simple and very intuitive on how to adjust it* The ladder seems very stable, even with the extension all the way out, there is some give in the ladder, so don't expect this to be rock solid with no bend as you go up, but then again I am 230 lbs so there aren't many extension ladders that wouldn't have some give :)* The flexibility to use it in so many waysCons:* It is a heavier ladder, that being said it comes with wheels to move it around, but in practice it makes it difficult to move around as it is so far behind you that I usually just pick it up and carry it.* For the second A-Frame you have 2 tops that you put in the extensions to make another A-Frame and it comes with a bungy cord to attach it to the ladder for storage. It works fine, I just wish they are come up with a way to integrate it into the frame, I just leave it in a drawer until I need it and I am sure I will end up losing it and then not find it when I do need it :)In summary, if your looking for a good all around ladder that does a little bit of everything and you don't mind they weight go for it. It takes up less space than multiple ladders and won't really cost more when you look at buying multiple ladders. If you only use one type or size of ladder, spend less money and get a lighter ladder.

I am extremely pleased with this ladder and can't imagine how it could be improved. I am 6'-2" and unskinny by nature. Mounting or dismounting a 2-legged ladder from the roof was always a shaky experience. As an engineer I would never specify an access method as unstable as that for a worker.This Little Giant ladder with 4-leg support is much more stable and I no longer dread chores that require a ladder. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to raise and lower it, and how to adjust the pivot point in the middle of the ladder. Both were simple and logical adjustments and soon I was confident in their use.Those adjustments take a lot of bending stress, but the steel pins holding them in place are thick and sturdy. They obviously have been sized with a good safety margin in mind, and are captured with spring-loaded levers that prevent them from moving once set. I can see whether they are firmly in place with a quick visual inspection, and be confident that they will not fail while I am using the ladder.The side rails are also sized with a good safety margin, as are the rungs. This makes the ladder heavy, which is unavoidable for a sturdy 4-legged ladder of this length.To move it, I stand under it and place one hand on a rung on each side, just above my head. Then I just straighten my elbows to lift the legs off the ground. My arms are not particularly muscular but this method makes best use of what I have. This allows me to position the legs just where I want them, and keeps my back straight when I lift.I can lift the ladder while it is extended. I think anyone taller than about 4-1/2 feet who can lift 40 lbs off the ground and carry it 10 feet could handle this ladder with proper techniques. He/she can always retract the sides of the ladder so they can reach the appropriate rungs.The Little Giant reeks of exceptional engineering. These are the folks who beam aboard a crippled starship and have the shields, phasers, warp drive, and lavatories repaired by the time the Klingons show up with bad intentions. You can trust them with your life.

Excelente producto,caro pero vale la pena,mejor que las de precio más barato

Muy práctica, lo que sí, me parece es de qué hay que tener mucha práctica para usarlo

Todo muy bien, solo considera que es una escalera pesada como para acomodarla por ejemplo en las escaleras de tu casa para pintar.

It is a very handy ladder for those hard to reach places as it can form into shapes no other ladder can. But holy hell is it heavy and unwieldy.I also used it to climb on the 2nd floor roof and had it nearly fully extended. What an endeavor that was. You basically need to fully extend it on the ground then raise and lean it against the house. So you are trying to hold steady this ladder sticking 20'+ in the air hoping a big gust of wind doesn't come up. Then once you are on it, it'll flex back and forth every step.If you are looking for a do everything ladder, yes this is it. But it is a jack of all trades and master of none. If you want it to solely reach the eaves of your house, get a proper extension ladder.

So far I am very impressed with the build and usefulness of this ladder. Comes with the metal trestle brackets and is not as heavy as I thought it would be. Awkward to setup in tight areas because of the wider base but definitely feels safe when on it. Glad I bought this and it is a great addition for working on the house.
