I'm looking for one of those multi-purpose ladders. Naturally I've seen The Little Giant on TV, and I know that it was one of the first to come out, but now Home Depot and Lowe's sell this Gorilla Ladder which is very similar, as well as the Werner multi-purpose ladder.
I already own a 26 foot extension ladder which is too big, too heavy, and a much better grade than I ever should have bought and I just can't handle it.
I'm figuring a 21 foot (extends 19 feet) multi-purpose ladder will be great for me (2 story house) in a type 1 or 1A.
Is The Little Giant ladder better than the others to justify it's higher (double) price? Approx $400 (mail order price), vs $200 (local price at Lowes and Home Depot)) for the Werner or Gorilla Ladder.
Has anyone had any bad experiences with any of these ladders?
If The Little Giant is really a better ladder, do you know of a place that sells it at more of a discount, to get the price substantially below that $400 point?
Thanks for any suggestions.
