Funny story. I had those identical Tiny Giant ladders for years through

work. When I retired, I got to go through a corporate catalog and choose a retirement gift. One of the items was a $700 Tiny Giant super duper ladder. I just cracked up when I saw that. Said to myself, the last thing I want to do in retirement is climb one of those damn things again. But then I got to think about it, and realized I was going to loose it when I had to turn it back when I left. How was I going to clean my gutters? And do painting around the house without a ladder? So I chose the stupid ladder. Then as I get close to my last day, my manager says just keep all my ladders as they're too much a pain in the a$$ for him to come pick them up. So now I have 2 of those things. And I could have gotten a free TV or sweet Bose sound system as my free gift. The Man always sticking it to me. ** Edited by Stork at 11/6/2023, 4:20:15 PM

I bought the Costco knockoff of the Little Giant ladder about 15 years ago

Had 2 different lengths and they are heavy as crap. Gave to my son in law**

Little Giants are not light at least not the originals. All aluminum

I have a couple other ladders, but that is always my "go to" ladder.**
EDGEMAN 11/06/23 04:28 PM ET
Which half do you they give you? TIC**

You get the whole ladder but can only climb up the upper half.**

you don't get the former just the ladder**
HokieDan95 11/06/23 05:23 PM ET
I recommend (and own) the Werner version instead, fewer plastic parts.**
HokieNoVA 11/06/23 02:55 PM ET
Have that one too, only downside is it is heavy and hard to move**

Great ladders...except so-so for painting, but solid otherwise**

Completely unrelated...but we used to buy beer at the Tiny (Tinee?) Giant

The Tinee Giant at Old Great Neck Rd and Shore Drive was money in the day. **
