Eric is a huge Cubs fan and yes, he will talk about the 2016 World Series unprompted. When he's not explaining why he's the only person who should be allowed to drive, he's spending time with his wife and two children who tolerate his dad jokes with impressive patience.
Eric-Dan good review. As wide as the ladder is at the top when you leaned it on the garage roof, how would you
get around the top to get back on the ladder if you were working alone? I have a one peace 16 foot aluminum (or how ever you
spell it) ladder I use to get up on the roof and a 6 foot fiber glass step ladder for general use. I work alone all the time
and wonder some times how I am gonna get off the roof without breaking my neck if the ladder slips.
DAN I make it a point NOT to walk under ladders, WHY PRESS YOUR LUCK.
You can take the top section of the ladder off, like we have in one of the pictures. I end up working alone most of the time also. That is one thing i like about this ladder, it feels very secure.
great review. didn’t realize the werner multi laders were so good I always carry different ladders from job to job. would be nice to have one ladder like this. i was going to buy the little giant, but this looks much better looks like I will be buying this ladder, just a smaller size.
looks much better than the little giant ladder. all my ladders are werner, but now it looks like I am getting a multiladder. Iam like marty, I am going to get a smaller size for my needs
I was going to get my husband a Little Giant because he has been talking about that ladder. What would you recommend, this or the Little Giant?
I like the Werner much better. Feels safer and less expensive. This is probably the best multi ladder or at least i think it is.
nice ladder review..own little giant xtreme 26..rocklocks,airdock station,full tank paint tray,standing platform ,tip glide wheels,independent adjustments.
lifetime warranty..52.2 lbs…werner 26 lookscool ,most likely
cheaper price than little giant.werner good brand.tks Erick for
idea gave me…take top flare off mine to.cheers
Great review. Why waste extra money on a little giant when this seems better and cost less.
Wish I saw this review earlier. We bought 3 little giant ladder systems a month ago and they are aweful as extension ladders. Very unsafe and has lots of flex. When I saw you guys climb the werner, it looked stable with no flex at the pivot points. Maybe I can take the other ladders back and get the werner ladders.
True story. I have a Little Giant, now 6 years old. Sits on the roof of my truck in all kinds of weather. Still works fine, spray a little silicone on the pivot points and all is good. Only thing I’ve had to do is replace an end cap on one of the steps. When i called L.G. I received a heart filled apology, and they sent me four end caps, at no charge, “just in case”I broke another one, which I haven’t.
Now a coworker has an MT-22. Its about 2 years old, and he has already had to replace almost all the feet, either because they fell out, or the rubber is worn away and the ladder wouldn’t stand straight and even, and he had to replace one of the knobs on the hinge assembly. I helped him order the parts, which with shipping came to the tune of about $75.00. So know you know why the Werner is cheaper, then the Little Giant. Cheaper low grade parts, and no lifetime warranty.
That being said, you folks make the choice. I’m sticking with Little Giant IF I ever had to buy another ladder.
Great writeup Eric, you really added some great points and pictures!! This ladder seems perfect for 85% of people, it is so flexible in which you can have it perform different jobs! Definitely a great buy! Werner makes some good stuff, we have a 12 foot wener aluminum and its great, Keep up the great reviews!
Thanks
Werner*****lol
sold my m22 little giant few years ago to a buddy..purchased the
little giant 26 extreme for 9 months.on phone with m22 owner..
told bring it to my house..we would take it apart.lube on it.
hinge comes off ,after remove 2 clips.clips removed and handle.
whack it hard top ..pop out…used superlube on hinge were slide
through each other..spring lock cleaned with wd-40..dry..wipe
superlube all over it..lube j locks…pull with a pinky now..lol.
next thing we did..drilled right through plate hinge at very top
on all 4 sides.top 3 rivets made 19/64 holes around them .3 extra.
on 4 sides..installed 12 grade 10 stainless bolts, nuts,lockwashers.
put blue locktite on threads.crank them down..bolts takes play out
of the hinge..ladder extended out..we jump on it hard few times.
easy upgrade.thought about running bolts 2am .stainless bolts look
like belong there.first time m22 been greased,,,,was dry.take one
apart you be able to see..removing hinge best way to lube it…sprayed pblaster, silicone,wd-40..inside bushing around inch
in diameter..looks like aluminum bushing.dry.lube made it much
smoother..bolts stiffened it up.all nighter lots of beer..fun to
do.later..need to relax….do i see a werner versus littlegiant
ladder in a friday tool fight.hahhhahaaa.cheers
I dont agree. I had a little ladder that was junk. Bought the werner and its been awesome. My feet held up perfect
doesn’t even begin to compare to the Little Giant brand not to mention Little Giants have a lifetime warranty werner has none
gorilla ladders vanished ..wait werner and gorilla ladder are the same.
another china product copying little giant design..stay with little
giant made in utah.didnt,t like twisted rungs on gorilla..werner has
the same design..20 feet air standing on forge aluminum foil rungs.
not me.buy revolution 22 ladder ..ebay 26 extreme..22 be much easier
to extend .did mine on windy day…close breaking attic window.roof
not so high that i need 26..come to me 22 ..homedepot..$333.00.no disrespect to werner..owned some past..multi ladder i choose what
i own and use..going by looks of rungs ..like giant better.cheers
little giant is also now made in china..early versions were usa..some
say assemeled in usa…newer ones say made in china..oh well ladders
not that exciting anyway..buy what makes you happy..be safe not
fall off….or walk under like Dan did..have all that bad luck.
great Dan,,so funny.Dan brave one.cheers
I use a Vulcan multi ladder… Awesome ladder that’s just as good or better then any of the ladders mentioned
Love the review, and own a MT-22 that is awesome…you said it best “if you want one, all purpose ladder, this is it”.
However, I recently saw these ladders:

It intrigued me…any plan to do a review of them?
Yes possibly we are in talks for a ladder like that
