Little Giant Ladders, Select Step, 5-8 foot, Stepladder, Fiberglass, Type 1AA, 375 lbs weight rating, (15130-001)

Great ladder! I love this thing.Pros: - VERY stable, even at 8 ft. The additional "legs" at the bottom contribute greatly to this stability. It is very confidence building when working at the top of the ladder's range. - Collapses to smaller heights so it is easier to maneuver through doorwaysCons: - Heavier than a 6' fiberglass (but it goes to 8 so not really a valid comparison) - Wheels are only marginally useful - Note this items does not include the extra tray at the top of the ladder.Others: - Packaging was almost completely destroyed when it arrived, but the ladder was still in great shape.

This ladder replaces several other ladders and keeps space down in my van. The fact I only have to carry the one ladder all day makes it easy to determine which ladder I need. The ladder is heavy and noisier than others, but for what it does a very small price to pay. Any one in service or is incredibly short should have one of these. I happen to be both, so I love it.

I recently purchased the Little Giant 15130-001 5-8 feet Select Step Fiberglass ladder. This was a house warming gift for our son and daughter-in-Law located in another city. As such, I have not personally used the ladder but my son reports that Dad made the right decision in selecting this particular ladder as they go about minor remodeling efforts on an older, single story house. They report that the ladder performs as advertised and its adjustable height and configuration fully meet the requirements of a medium length, combination extension ladder. Delivery service was excellent. The product arrived on time as noted, without damage. The ladder gets five stars for quality and innovation,

Nice ladder, a bit heavier but it’s nice it can go 8’. Only thing that would have been nicer if it could have gone 16’ as an extension ladder

This ladder really does live up to the hype.If you have ever seen the demonstration videos, they extend and retract the ladder with minimal effort. After just a few minutes of practice, I was doing the same. The ladder is heavier than most other ladders. however, the flexibility of this ladder allows me to transport it in my Mazda 3 while still having the function of an 8 foot ladder. Perfect for my needs.The top step provides a very comforting platform that doubles as the handle for folding and opening the ladder. I really appreciated this feature.Overall, this ladder exudes extra sturdy. However, as mentioned in other reviews the wheels are of limited value. Also, both the wheels and the plastic caps on the feet do not match the ruggedness of the rest of the ladder.The only other negative was also mentioned by other reviews. This ladder shipped directly from the manufacturer and the packaging was less than adequate for an Item as heavy as this.

Worth every penny. I hesitated quite a while before deciding on the fiberglass version over the aluminum but am glad I went with it. A higher weight rating coupled with metal Rock Locks convinced me that, in the long run, the fiberglass version would be the better value. Note that the pictures on Amazon depict the orange plastic Rock Locks. In actuality they are heavy gauge aluminum (including the single rear lock). I also opted for the Air Deck which makes the ladder more useful both from a safety standpoint at greater heights and its ability to hold your tools, paint etc. The wide platform eases the strain of standing associated with ordinary step ladders and the relatively small profile when fully collapsed also serve to make the Select Step a great choice. Would definitely recommend.

I bought this ladder to use with my old ladder to hold scaffoling, but it;s 1 inch too narrow. I'm a 64 yr old women and it's also quite heavy for me to handle.

The last ladder I’ll own. Typically I won’t go too high due to fear of heights and not feeling stable. This ladder changes that. It’s built fantastic.
