Tom Raymond Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I have one too, and my only complaint is that it's heavy. It's noticabley stiffer than the 250lb LG when fully extended. Better than driving around with an extension ladder and a step ladder though. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspector57 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have one also, note it is not 22' long, more like 19' in real world terms. I think that is is supposed to provide a 22' reach if you are 5'10 standing on the highest legal step. Mine gets me on most two story houses and is sturdy enough although I have never used the LG to compare. They make one that is 4' longer extended and 1' longer folded that I keep wanting to buy to get up on those extra tall roofs, but it is heavier and I would have to carry it out in the weather on the roof rack.

hmiller Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hey thanks for the tip! I had been thinking about upgrading, and now the price is right. I can still fit this one in the 6' bed of my Ranger pickup. I picked mine up on the way back from an inspection today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have that ladder. It's heavy. It's sturdy. It's rigid. It's heavy. It's strong. It's 1/2 the price of LG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 How much does it weigh? I wish I could trade the Cosco ladder I got at Walmart for one of those. Speaking of ladders, I finally used the 32" extension ladder I bought for over $300. It was in a secluded area so nobody could see me make a fool of myself. I learned it worked better with the feet on the grass instead of the sidewalk. With the feet on the sidewalk, every time I went to push the ladder off the house to pull the rope and clear the eave, the feet would kick out. Then I stuck it on the grass and it was much easier.

hmiller Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 It is 45 lbs approx. and I noticed that it is going to take a little getting used to. A little dissapointed that it does not extend to 22' feet as implied. (18 feet is the loa )22 feet is the "working" height. But it is a nice ladder, and a couple feet longer than what I have been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I've had mine for about 4 years. With its weight and my bum shoulder, I try not to use it fully extended anymore (started bringing the 24' extension with me again) --- I use the 17' Cosco every day, tho (picked it up at Wally World for $99, I think, a couple years ago after I left my Extend'n'Climb at a foreclosure....)
