This thing is a beast; the little giant 17 foot 1AA rated ladder. I figured I had better go with the 375lb capacity since I am 304 pounds of swinging steel and sex appeal. One sneeze and the flimsy little ladders would turn into a pretzel.
Seems plenty sturdy, only cost me $269 brand new.
Would anyone recommend a 13 footer for interior and attic access?
For 20 yrs I’ve had my outside ladder AND my inside ladder.
I use my BIG O/S ladder / Little Giant 17’. My I/S ladder never touches soil. If its raining, snowy, muddy, etc … No worry about getting carpets dirty, etc. Besides that me I/S ladder is the short LG or the short Tel-e-Steps … MUCH easier to maneuver inside.
My assistant is a very big man. I don’t let him transverse attics because I’m worried at his weight he could do damage.
How do you do it ? And how about tight crawlspaces?
I love my little giant in the summer time. I put it away in the winter due to the fact it has no spiked feet like a conventional extension ladder. I don’t need to be up a ladder and the bottom kicks out on me. Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix for it? I had thought about taking an old extension ladder and pulling the feet off it.
If they made one like that I would be ecstatic.
The Canadian customs people are extremely helpful .
I and my kids get things shipped to Kinek frequently . WWW.kinek.com](http://www.kinek.com/) has I think over 2000 Kinek points in the usa.
If it is loose boxes of books they charge $5.00 per box.
Tight crawl spaces are a bit of a challenge; I am more dense than I am big though. If there isn’t a walkway plank in an attic I don’t go into the space but I do get into the access and do the best I can where there is no walkway. Just note it in the report that there wasn’t adequate footing to safely traverse the attic; this probably won’t change when I’m 200 pounds either.
What is your go to ladder? I currently have an Xtend and Climb that covers a lot of what I need, but it lacks the sturdy frame when accessing some roofs.
