What would be the PROS of this ladder compared to the Little Giant 17?

Buy the little giant, this ladder broke in the first few times I used it and now trying to get the manufacturer to replace with no luck so far.

The comparison is a little bit of apples and oranges. The Little Giant is a self-standing ladder with a large footprint. If you have the room, I'm sure the Little Giant would work great. The Xtend & Climb has a tiny footprint, and can be collapsed to fit in a trunk of a car, or passed through a window, or otherwise fit in tight spaces. So your preference will depend on how you are going to use it. My opinion is that the Extend & Climb is a specialty ladder.I was told by a couple of contractors that the Extend & Climb is great for estimates, but doesn't work as well for actual work because the mechanism is easily gummed up. When I use it for painting I wipe it down carefully afterwards. Hope that is helpful. The comparison is a little bit of apples and oranges.

Ladder is light. I will say is about 25-30 lbs. Is excellent for storage. Shipping came in a big box. Can't say if it was 45lbs o not.

Not good for using on a ladder 1. Too heavy to hold with one hand and hold the ladder - safety is the issue2. Tooich torque if the drill catches it can throw you - again safety3. Use a smaller drill

i really don't know but it is very light by comparison to other folding/multipurpose ladders. i also like the bottom footing design.

Irregardless if it's a Sears or whatever brand name ladder, many are made by the same manufacturers anyway, but if it looks like the one in the picture then it will be able to adapt to it; after all, you are the one who drills the holes in the ladder in the correct place to mount it, and when you are doing that task and you do a good job doing it, then you yourself can see/feel if it will fit or not. As far as sturdy and safe, yes, my life and health feel quite safe when I'm on mine, and I think this device is adequate yes. You can feel it for yourself on yours when you do it. Yes I think the devices are very helpful, otherwise you can use single/multiple pieces of wood to accommodate the task instead. I chose this device for my largest ladders; to save $ on my smaller ft ladders I may fudge it more by using wood pieces on slightly uneven ground for the very few times I need them.

I think this ladder is only rated at 200 lbs. However, as long as you use it for vertical purposes I wouldn't think it would be a problem. You can get a heavier rated ladder, but the weight factor goes up to about 30 lbs., as I recall. Good Luck.

I can't give you an exact answer in pounds, but it's very heavy and usually needs two people to move it. Even with the weight, it's an incredible ladder if you need a very tall ladder. If you don't need something so tall I would go with a lighter option

I can't speak for what someone (the manufacturer? or seller?) else wrote, but, when I bought this, I bought it based on a 300# capacity, however, the person who uses it weighs about 325#. I will warn you, though, that it is very steep and if the person who's going to use it has a larger stomach or chest, it will be difficult for them to climb because they're going to bump up against the top of the ladder.

I got the 17" one and find it perfect for home and travel. I'm 5'8 if that helps you any with your purchase decision.

What you are referring to is actually the Little Giant 12022 RevolutionXE. The main difference between this ladder and all the other models is the replacement of the spring loaded ladder extension locks with a pop-out lever extension lock. You will see this at the top of the ladder as a banana shaped rocker. The other option is the ratchet extension (extra cost) that is available only on the Revolution. This allows you to extend down individual legs with an internal sliding section via a ratchet device to level the ladder over uneven ground. The normal ladders have a optional uneven ground attachment that adjusts by sliding through a clamp attaching it to the leg. Little Giants come in two ratings, 250 lbs. and 300 lbs. The Revolution and their standard ladder are rated at 300 lbs, where as the Alta-One is a lighter version of the standard ladder rated at 250 lbs.

Who knows? 120 is fantastic for this ladder. If you don't like it, HD returns are easy. But you'll probably love it.

This ladder comes is several sizes. I bought the 4' ladder with a 225 Pound Duty Rating. It is perfect in size for keeping in the house for chores that need a higher advantage.

Sorry for the delay in answering you, but I do not check my mail daily. This is to the best of my knowledge and observation. I bought the AA10 telescopic ladder (my ceiling was 9 feet). I chose the telescopic because I had limited floor space and attic space for the ladder to fold up. The AA1510 looks like it is in three part sections. This takes up a lot of attic space (don't forget you have rafters up their). The AA1510 was just too big for my area. So far I have no problems with the AA10's attic accessibility nor storage of the ladder. Because of new construction and a sealed attic area, the ladder will be used for a 1x a year pest inspection. Hope this helps. Jeri Sorry for the delay in answering you, but I do not check my mail daily. This is to the best of my knowledge and observation.

On the Little Giant website, go to the "What's New" section, and those are the features the Revolution model offers above and beyond this model. To recap, the Revolution is approx. 20% lighter, has a quad-lock hinge (4 pins instead of 2 in the lock), and due to the new pins, it has a new lever called a "Rock Lock", which is a push and release lock on the sides to adjust the ladder. While any sort of weight reduction is a good thing (when still rated for the same load), don't let this weight reduction fool you into thinking the original model is overly heavy. I have the 22' model, and I find it easy to move around. The quad locks are debatably useful, as I have never felt my 2 pin design was unstable or even the least bit wobbly. The redesigned release locks do sound nice however, as the original ones take a little getting used to.

I purchased a Werner MT26 and this item fits perfectly and is very useful in providing stability to a very tall ladder. I do not have a Little Giant Ladder, so I am not able to answer your question.

This one has no "pull up bar," and only 4 cables, but on quick look, the Reformer Plus is much more compact at about half the length, lighter weight, less sturdy, and closer to the floor. The Pro XP 556 is elevated, takes up a TON of space and is a very heavy-duty piece of equipment. So it depends what you're looking for -- if you are shorter, and want something compact and easy to store away, don't get the 556. If you are taller or just want a higher quality piece that can stay out and take up a lot of space, the 556 is a good product for you. Also, I don't see the rebounder being very useful with something as short as the Reformer Plus 5 Cord. For rebounding, even the 556 feels a little short (and I'm only 5'3", btw).
