Mostly it sits in the garage and is used to clean out the chimney at my place since I bought the Extend and Climb 15.5 footer. Usually I can get where I need to with the 15.5.

I like this 12 ft one, fits in my trunk and easy to get upstairs for attic scuttles etc.

Bulky and heavy but great to have. Just make sure you also carry a light weight ladder(s) as well.

Ian,
I believe this Warner is a knock off of the Little Giant. I have been using the little giant ladder ever since I started and love the ease of use and safety. Peter Doane Realty Check Inspection Service NACHI ID# 05120681

Go to Lowe's and look at the one's they have. Mine is made by Cosco. I have worked off ladders all my life and these are the safest ones I have found. Yes a little heavy but I am very comfortable on it. Lowe's and Sam's Club have them for around $100. The 14 ft fits nice in a trunk.

I have a 17 foot one. The reason why I did not go longer is because I use for accessing attics also. I should had bought one years ago.

I use that ladder a little heavy and bulky to carry inside, but sturdy. I like it just the same.

Agree. It's bulky and heavy.

I started with the 17 footer and wasn't able to hit most roof in my area. I then went out and got the 22 footer. It's heavy and awkward, but I can hit most roofs in the suburbs now or at least get to the eaves. It's pretty versitile too it you buy the extra scafolding brackets. For really tight attic hatches, I take the wider extension pieces off and am able to fit in much tighter spaces. Don't think you are going to do much roof to roof hopping with this beast. I had to pull it up onto a second story roof once. Never again!
I am looking for a lightweight 3 sectional fiberglass ladder to hit the high roofs here in Philly.

I have 4 little giants that I used when I was doing stucco.
The are heavy but very safe just like the others have stated. BK could probably fall off one tho! "I create controversy whether they like it or not" |

I've got 2 ladders. They've gotten me everywhere I need to go.
The LG (22') was a little pricey but well worth it. The Costco knockoff (about 12') was only $96.00 at Wal-Mart about 7 years ago. It's the one that goes in the house for attics when necessary. It also gets me on about 90% of the roofs. The LG takes care of another 5% and then there's the 5% I just don't get on. IF I had to have only one ladder, it'd be the Costco knockoff.

Thank you guys. Lots of great replies. So, to refresh here. I personally do need the 22 footer for some other work that I do. And several of you have stated that I can get it cheaper at Lowe's. sounds good, thanks again guys, I appreciate it very much.
