Little Giant VS. Gorilla ladder: Which one is better?
366275
Good review, even though 2 years ago. Still good info. I'm thinking for the pro the Little Giant might show better quality after much use, but for home owners the Gorilla might be fine. Just a guess based on unrelated experience.

Definitely go with the larger version. We have two and it will last for a while.

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.

I'm not sure about the difference but I can tell you that the Classic is a great ladder except that it is very heavy and the rungs are very narrow. It does have wheels so it can be rolled but it's wide so it it's not easy to get it through doors and sometimes you do have to lift it. I love that I can get close to the wall by shortening one side and that feature also means it doesn't take up as much space in the room when you need to place it around furniture. Mine came with a work platform so that once you climb to the height you need it is comfortable to stand on it. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I disagree with the other review, this is not "mini sized" and I'm not sure what she meant by it being hard to use, it's a walker for goodness sake. I have 10 month old twins, have this and another walker (more expensive and sadly, exactly the same construction - this one is a better deal), and this one is my favorite. My twins are large for their age, height and weight-wise, and this one is awesome. And it really takes a beating. I'm not sure about the max weight limit, but I can say it keeps a nearly 25 lb toddler relatively out of trouble for quite some time. Since my little ones stand in it (not just sit), it doesn't need to support too much of their weight. I would definitely buy it again.

It's too heavy for me to move/lift myself (60 yr old female), but the ladder is worth getting anyway. It has wheels and can be rolled most places. I can extend the ladder by myself, but it goes more quickly with someone helping.

I would not buy a Little Giant Ladder if my life depended on it. That's MY ANSWER!

My husband is a construction business owner and has a wide variety of ladders. He loves this ladder due to the fact that it is light weight and that it slides up and down easily. He says that it is also very durable and sturdy. Hope that helps you with your decision. It truly is a great ladder.

This is my 1st Little Giant and it spans the range between cheaper "standard" 6 and 8 footers. But it is SO much more stable, I would sure trust it more than the others. I have indeed stood on the top of regular step ladders but they too recommend against that. True, with this particular Little Giant it won't even allow you to do that so has less reach than the top of an 8-footer. If that affects your choice...you probably should be buying a 10 or 12 foot stepladder!

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 don't think it will work - we bought a regular extension ladder, because the Little Giant didn't work.

Without a doubt. I used the ladder in a stairwell and had almost the same height ratio. The ladder was very stable and I felt completely safe 10 feet in the air.

I know nothing about the lighter one! But this one is awesome! VERY sturdy! My grandson plays with it for hours!! Very solid! Sorry I could not help more, I know nothing about the other one!

Hmmmm I would suggest you ask in an ape store. My understanding is that both are unibody and same design outside.

The Little Giant Site has a search feature. You can find both 12106 and 10600. These are meant for DIFFERENT ladder models and each model has a compatability chart (12106 is newer for newer ladder models I guess). I bought a ladder directly from them as the one I wanted is on sale and has free shipping. I personally ordered the leg extension for my ladder, the other may work but may not be as safe, etc. I contacted Little Giant via phone and verified what I have posted is TRUE after I saw the compatability charts on their website.

Check the little giant ladder web site, they are comparable with adjustable step ladder

Yes, they are better, actually much better. The definity's are quite "wobbly" and when you're training for planche (pushups with your legs in the air...unsupported) like I am, you want a product that feels solid - the Gorilla stands are very well made and very solid and surprisingly light weight. You will know the difference if you get them - if you're looking for assurance so you don't waste money, I can assure you they are better as I have both - I have been using the gorilla stands frequently with no issues at all.
