Does anyone on here have or use a Little Giant, Gorilla Ladder, Jaws, Cosco and the list goes on... I am looking at possibly getting one because I can see myself using many of the features. The main features that are appealing to me are the 90° angles, scaffolding and the double sided adjustable A-frame. Now I understand that the extension ladder will be bouncy and that the ladder will probably be in the ball park of 35 lbs, but those are cons that I think I can live with.

It would be great to hear people's reviews for these types of ladders first hand. What are people's thoughts?

I picked up the 21' Lite multi-purpose ladder when it was on sale earlier this year at Canadian Tire. The ladder works great with the exception of a couple things. It is pretty heavy and awkward to move around for those jobs when you really only need a 6' ladder (I was hoping to only have 1 ladder in my new home!). Also, when it is fully extended, the square rungs are quite tiring to stand on for an extended period of time. I have yet to use it fully extended so I can't comment on the 'bounciness' quite yet.

Thanks for the review!

I saw that Canadian Tire has the 17' one on sale for 124.99 for Nov 27-29 and decided to pick one up. Great deal for the product. There are tons of reviews on this ladder at the Canadian Tire website and that helped make my decision.
