The Little Giant Ladder is marketed as "24 ladders in one." Is it really as good as all of that, or does it have some things about it that might make it unappealing to some consumers? If you use a ladder frequently and you have different ladders to do different jobs, and you would like to clear up some of the space in your garage by getting this all in one ladder, there are some things that you should look at first. You may decide that the Little Giant Ladder is the right choice for you, but you may also decide that you would be better served with something else.

First, it really can be formed into twenty-four different configurations. It can be an extension ladder, a straight ladder, or a step ladder, and it can even be split into two parts and made into scaffolding. The Little Giant Ladder can be purchased in fiberglass or aluminum depending on your preference.

Here are the positives:

If you do lots of home improvement and repair projects around your home or if you are involved in a business that does these sorts of projects, the Little Giant Ladder may be just what you are looking for. You may even be able to limit yourself to a single ladder to tote and store. Here are some of the configurations:

1. You can make it an A-frame ladder with the click of a button.

2. It works on stair cases because each leg can be adjusted in one-foot increments.

3. The longest Little Giant ladder can extend to 26 feet.

4. It can be bent to a 90 degree angle, for when you can't get it near the base of whatever you are trying to climb.

Here are the negatives of the Little Giant Ladder:

1. As you can imagine, it is very heavy and can be difficult to move for one person.

2. In order to make it into the different configurations you may need 2 people. This could be a problem if you are single, live alone, or work by yourself.

3. The Little Giant Ladder is a bit pricey for many people at over $200 for most models.

You should weigh all of your options when making a purchase of this size and price in order to make it worth the money that you spend and also to make sure that it is a practical choice.
