Yeah, that is the drawback, mine is pretty damn heavy. But heavy=safe & sturdy. I'm pretty sure I've heard that the newer generation of them are lighter.

It's not a Baby Giant, but it's the same 4 section 3 double joint configuration, just a different manufacturer and older design.

And FTR, I wasn't commenting on what someone might buy today. You can't even find mine anywhere anymore, outside my basement.

lg is a great ladder, but it's a finger-pinching sonofabitch.

As far as extension ladders go, Louisville and Werner are the brands you want to look for. |

I have this exact ladder (17') and love it. Bought it at ACE on Black Friday about five years ago. I think it was $75.

I could have taken that very picture. POS, sure, but free and I'm fully informed on it's precariousness. I triple check those joints and tread like a squirrel traversing the tree over the pit bull kennel run. Even if I had a traditional extension ladder, I'd have to buy a shed to go with it as the entrances are too tight and the basement too small to accommodate one.

I have one and they are the shit. Kind of heavy, but worth it because it's useful for a bunch of projects. Painting/working in a stairway makes the job easy with these ladders. You can also find the knockoff brand and save some money and they are just as good.
