Little Giant Ladders, Select Step, 6-10 Foot, Stepladder, Aluminum, Type 1A, 300 Lbs weight rating (15109-001)

TBH, I was reluctant about the price and big claims from this product but I really needed a solution to my current project. I bought this ladder to specifically use for building my new woodworking shop. My new shop is designed with 10'8" ceilings so I needed a ladder that was tall enough to make it safe and easier for installing the rafters, ridge beams and supports. The first thing you notice with this ladder is the ease in which you can adjust the height and the quality of the stop mechanisms that prevent the ladder from collapsing. When climbing, the stability which makes you feel safe and more confident in performiing the actions you need to do to accomplish the task. The platform you stand on makes it so much more confortable and safe when working at the upper levels of the ladder. The multiposition air deck was able to hold my tools and heavy framing nailer without any issues in the horizontal configuration. When in the veritcle configuration, the air deck makes the perfect holding point to make for safter movement. I can honestly say without compare, this ladder is the best ladder I have ever owned! The picture is the current state of my workshop build after installing 24 rafters with my wife. We still have to install the joists for the rafters but that is going to also be a relatively easy task with this new ladder.

An incredibly functional, stable and versatile step ladder. I'm totally satisfied. I ordered this ladder on Friday and received it Saturday! Wow, how do they do that? The designers of these Little Giant Ladders must spend oodles of time on ladders as they know what we need, want and find useful. The collapsed Little Giant (73" long) fits into my 2015 Toyota Highlander, with the back seats folded down, which is something I could not do with a regular 10' step ladder. I got the 6'-10' model and agree with the positive reviews on this product, so no need to repeat them here. Two points, however: Remember, is an "A-Frame (aka step ladder)" so it doesn't extend straight up full-length. This is what I expected, so no surprise here. Next, the instructions on storing the AirDeck are not complete as they show how to store the AirDeck for the 6'-8' model which has brackets on the inner side of the back ladder. The 6'-10' model ships with a separate metal bracket that must be inserted into the two holes on the back of the plastic tray. This bracket then slips in to a step-wide slot on the inside of the back ladder. The AirDeck is in the closed position when it is stored of course. It took me a while to figure all this out, so hope this tip helps. It's a bit expensive, but the versatility, portability and safety are worth it. I recently recovered from a hip-fracture from a ladder fall and wanted the safest ladder design available before I ever went up a ladder again. Still, take your time, be safe, read the safety instructions carefully and never violate them.

Fantastic ladder to reach those high places where a 6 foot step ladder isn't enough and an extension ladder won't work. Very stable, rugged with fast and simple height adjustment. The heel-to-toe foot support platform is designed such that it's comfortable and there's no rung above the foot platform to bang your knees. Love the Air Deck work platform, especially the handle bar which makes working on the ladder so much safer. The Air Deck is designed to install only one way (can't be installed backwards). Like some other reviewers mentioned, the Air Deck handle will wiggle front-to-back about 3/4", but it's a secure handhold and not a problem. When fully collapsed, fits sideways through standard interior doors without banging up the door jambs. With the ladder fully extended, my head is about 14 feet off the floor and I can reach close to 17 feet.Cons:* A bit heavy compared to a standard 6 foot step ladder, but I have no problem carrying it one-handed vertically by my side. I've yet to use the roller wheels.* No slots to mount a standard paint roller tray. I only use paint trays for small jobs (I prefer the Wagner Paint Mate Roller for anything significant) and found a workaround by hooking the paint tray legs over the Air Deck handle, letting the tray rest on top of the Air Deck platform. I hold the paint tray hook against the Air Deck handle with my thumb. Little Giant makes the "Fuel Tank" paint roller tray that custom fits the ladder.

Important:The 6-10 foot ladder comes with the Airdeck accessory (not specified in the listing when we ordered). We ordered the Airdeck accessory separately, and had to return it when the ladder arrived with it.Great ladder, very very stable. Easy to operate. The wheels make moving it around effortless. Even having to lift it isn't much of an effort (I'm 67, have asthma and arthritis) - it weighs about as much as a box of cat litter. Between this ladder and our extension ladder with outrigger, we can do anything, anywhere in or out of the house. Highly recommended, and very happy with the purchase.Note: the box barely survived the shipping process. The cardboard was so thin, using the hand cutouts just ripped the cardboard when trying to lift the box. UPS "strapped" it together with shipping tape. The ladder survived unscathed.
