Little Giant 19’ M-22 Ladder System

[nowservingno4]

Love my Little Giant. I’m not large, and it is easy to carry and set up. Very sturdy.

Getting one as a Father’s Day gift for dad.

If you are in Texas, it happends to us. But with purchases over a certain amount… maybe $40??? can’t remember… use the coupon code TAXSUCKS.

Don’t worry, it is a Woot thing… they do it for fellow Texans.

If you are not in Texas, give them a shout. They will fix it pronto.

Its not a Texas thing, it is an Amazon thing. Woot is now owned by Amazon and has to collect tax everywhere that Amazon has to collect tax.

And finally, here from Little Giant Ladder’s youtube channel is a video demoing a similar ‘classic’ ladder. (no bloopers here!)

Interesting claim in the video: that the 300lb weight limit (for the ‘classic’ ladder) actually applies to each side, simultaneously!

At 254lbs a 7’ tall person would be “a few pounds overweight”

You must be really tall.

Hey, I am 5’11" and I once tipped the scales at 280lbs. Now I’m down to 192. I was a fatty…no doubt about it.

Anyone above 220 is likely a “fatty”, by most definitions. No offense.

I would think the average definition of “fatty” is more dramatic than simply being 220; more like someone who signs up for the Biggest Loser show, has a problem fitting into a single seat on an airline, etc. For myself at 6’1" and 240, nobody is going to point at me and say “wow - take a look at that fatty” (and believe me, my friends would have no problem saying that to my face).

Good work dropping 90, by the way.

The accessories for these ladders are awesome. Have the work platforms for standing and reaching, the leg leveler for uneven ground, the rollers for moving the ladder around, the utility platform for holding tools and the like, and the wing span for working around windows. I was able to use the 23’ version of this ladder to change out a chandelier in my two-story foyer. It is very sturdy, and very durable. I would recommend the Little Giant to anyone searching for a ladder that will last a lifetime.

I agree…I’m 245lbs and I was hesitant to get this the last time the 22’ came around. This type of ladder is amazing; what with all the different positions and styles it does. But I went with the 22’ ladder at home depot (actually got it on sale for $99). I could be mistaken, but the one I own is a bit lighter, too.

Triple A rated ladders rated up to 300 pounds will give you more shake than a 22’ little giant when both are all the way extended and even then the shake you get (from either ladder) isn’t anything to worry about. You won’t find any A frames that are as solid as a little giant, even with the legs all the way out.

I use both the LG and a Werner, and while they may seem similar, after using both every day for a couple years, the LG stands out. It is much more sturdy than the Werner, it’s more heavy-duty and has a wider stance at each end. Adding wheels makes it really easy to move around too! But I think the biggest difference is the quality of the locking mechanisms, which might not seem like a big deal, but after struggling for five minutes trying to pull out the pins on the Werner, grabbing the LG and doing it effortlessly, I grab the LG every time. I keep them both lubed up, but the Werners are always stickier and take a lot more effort to adjust. If you’re putting these up and down, folding, and unfolding more than once per use, the better locking mechanisms on the LG are worth the extra money for the headaches they’ll save you.

Hehe, wide stance, a la Sen. Craig.

I have a 26 foot 300 pound rated Little Giant. I have used it on sloping roofs (with the leg jack attachment), stairs, as a very tall step ladder and as an extension ladder. I weigh about 225 and I feel completely safe on this ladder. It is heavy. I sometimes stand on a lighter extension ladder to lift the Little Giant extensions and put in the pins when I fully extend them. If I was going to buy it again, I would buy the 200 pound rated model - they probably have a 1.5 safety factor built in to the design…

[karnaughatlas]

My fire department has one of these. It will hold me in full gear (maybe 240lbs) plus whatever tools I’m carrying no prob.

@thomas998

250lbs isn’t much when you start adding in the weightof things you will be holding when you are on the ladder. Suppose you are carrying shingles, that takes a big chunk out of the 250. Most people only think about their weight and forget about the bucketof paint orheavy tools they will carry… Think hard if you are even close to 200.

I want to see you walk up a ladder with 100 lbs of shingles on your shoulder

@bvic01

Im not so sure about these. They seem to have a major flaw that could be quite dangerous. Check out these youtube videos:

Little Giant Ladder FAILS to perform! - YouTube

Little Giant ladder test-No surprise as it FAILS AGAIN! - YouTube

@mobiusrit

Yeah, I just watched the same ones and came here to post the links as well.

If you’re “not so sure” about every item that some num-nuts has complained about on the internet - one thing is certain - you’ll never buy another thing - anything - ever again.

Take a look at EVERYTHING out there on the 'net, its overwhelmingly positive about these. Really - you can find a negative internet rant about EVERYTHING, guaranteed.

I bought this one from Walmart a few years ago.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/COSCO-17-World-s-Greatest-Ladder/11150979

It’s rated at 300lbs. and is very solid. I am very pleased. I would buy it all over again if I had to.

[Firebert]

I bought one a couple of years ago and it is awesome. I’ve used it as a fully extended extension ladder at 270lbs without any trouble.

There were some goons on Youtube a few years ago showing the “dangers” of the Little Giant. The would set it up on icy ground and bounce on it until if fell. Idiots.

[phantom42]

We have a 10 or 11 foot Little Giant. My only complaint regarding it is that I didn’t buy a taller one.

[octaveman]

What the…$200?..for a ladder?

[richardfrench]

I got my LG from Woot about 2 years ago and have been very happy. It is extremely sturdy, well made and safe. The only downside is that it is heavy, and for quick jobs I still find myself grabbing the old wooden step ladder just for easy of hauling it out and setting it up.

I’m still very glad I have the LG. For serious projects it’s unbeatable.

[chrisleve]

Best, most versitile ladder ever! My hubby bought this on a past woot. Can handle much more weight than it says. We bought it bacause my father loved his (largest model) and he is a hard sell. The assesories for the ladder are just as impressive. Totally recommend it!.

I own a number of Little Giant ladders & accessories for years. M-19, 4 step ladder, scaffolding, leg levelers, kick out step, etc. The positives are: The best of these types. Don’t compare this to the Werner’s, etc, as they are a piece of crap in comparison. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS WOOT COMES WITH THE WHEELS? (PICTURE DOES NOT SHOW IT). Cons: These ladders will Rust. It happened to me (mainly the rivots rusted thru.) I took this up with Little Giant (Wing Enterprises)They were not nice about it at all. I worked my way up to the Boss. They didn’t want to do anything about it. I then threatened him saying that if they would not take care of this, I would show up at their show in Timonium, Maryland (at the State Fair). I told them I would show up at the show and set up my 2 rusting Little Giants right in front of their display and tell everyone about these problems! Suddenly, they had a change of heart. I had to ship them back to them in Utah. After considerable time, they finally agreed to repair the M 19, and replace the 4 step ladder. It’s a shame that I had to go to these lengths to get results. When I say I’m going to do something,I will follow thru & do it. I think they were afraid that I would show up and ruin their show. You better believe I would have done it.
