what you are about to see is one ladder-the strongest, the safest, the most versatile ladder in the world. the strong & sturdy little giant ladder system. twenty four ladders in one. coming up, you'll see amazing demonstrations and hear compelling testimonials from real people. and later, you'll see the unveiling of the newest little
5:31 am
giant ladder, with exciting never before seen features. the little giant extreme! hi, i'm richard karn. and i'm robin hartl. throughout our careers, both robin and i have worked with some of the finest tools on the market, but today we want to show you the best ladder we've ever used, the little giant ladder system. the little giant is more than just a ladder; it's an entire ladder system. it's actually 24 ladders in one. it's a tool that richard and i both own and love. in fact, i've owned my little giant for over six years. the little giant is the most versatile ladder ever created. you can safely use the little giant on stairs, uneven surfaces, and for every job around the house or workplace. one little giant can replace an entire garage full of ladders but stores in only four feet seven inches of space. the first little giant ladders were sold over thirty years ago. since that time the little giant has been continually refined and
5:32 am
perfected so that today we're proud to say without any doubt that the little giant is absolutely the best built, strongest, safest, most versatile ladder in the world. there are well over a million proud owners of the little giant ladder system the little giant ladder system has one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings of any product on the market today. coming up, we'll show you how you can get your own little giant ladder system. with the little giant, one ladder will do it all. wife likes it. husband likes it. the neighbor likes it. it's light and yet it's sturdy and strong. it's the safest, most reliable best investment you can make in a ladder. period. we're excited to have with us today the founder of the little giant ladder system, the ladder man himself, our friend hal wing. richard, how are you? hal. robin. hal, good to see you. i'm so excited to be here. well, we're glad to have you. thank you. now, i'm sure our viewers out there are trying to figure out what makes this ladder so special. can you show them just how
5:33 am
special this ladder is? absolutely. i'd love to. i guess the best place to start is right here with the hinge. it's the strongest point of theer whop 200 pounds and it's so easy to use. just by using the hinge, you can put it in the storage position or you can open it back up just like that. and the nice thing about it is it won't close up on you, it won't pull apart on you, and there are no spreader bars to get in your way. it's all done right here in the hinge. now, by using that hinge combined with these lock tabs you're looking at not just one ladder, but you're looking at a four foot, a five foot, a six foot, and it's a seven foot. so basically what you have is four different a-frames right inside this one ladder. and the beautiful part about that is you have rungs up both sides. you don't have to move the ladder so often and each rung will hold 300 pounds. now, if you have a sloping ground, or a ramp, or even staircases, you can adjust it just that easy-right over the stairs, in the middle of the
5:34 am
stairs, at the top of the stairs, the bottom of the stairs. and again, one of the worst things that you can do when you have an a-frame position, the higher you go, the further away you are from your work. so how do we solve that? well, with the little giant we come down we put it in wt we call the 90-degree position. robin, would you mind climbing this for us? i think you've used this before. lots of times. more times than i can count and i get up right here and i can do a lot of painting. see that? she's right up next to her work. she doesn't have to reach, she doesn't have to stretch, and she's not in danger. ok, going just a little bit further. everybody has to get up and clean the rain gutters once in a while or reach that second story window. so with the little giant you just go back to your hinge allow them to snap into place, and walk the ladder out. and what we have here is the finest 17-foot extension ladder you're ever going to get your hands on. you have a wide flare at the top. you have a wide flare at the bottom. you have nice, soft, rubber, non-skid feet at both ends. it won't mar the walls. it won't let you slip.
5:35 am
and then you can bring it down one rung at a time just like this and adjust it wherever you need it. you get the length that you need for the job at hand. the other thing that's nice about this-have you seen any ropes or pulleys on this ladder that hang up and get you tripped up? with our design, you don't need those so you come done a rung at a time every place you stop. and even if you miss the holes they snap in automatically. and then you go back to your hinge, drop this down, and just when you've seen everything that a ladder can do, let me show you this. again you have to go back to the hinge, pull out your lock tabs give it a nice tug, and you'll notice it has these non-slip feet on the bottom which makes of course, a very nice a-frame trestle. and then, if you connect them together with the lock tabs, you have a very nice base for scaffolding. richard, would you mind handing me that aluminum plank? now, you make this too don't you? we make these too. this is an option.
5:36 am
now, think about this-you can make this as long as you want. you don't have to move that ladder every few feet. you can do the whole side of a house if you want to. do you want to climb up here with me? oh yes. actually, this is my favorite part of the ladder. i get so much work done this way. come on up. are you coming up here or what? how much is this built for? i mean, how much weight? i don't know how much you weigh. i'm not going to ask. but you're going to be well below the half-ton, or thousand pound capacity. well, i'm just about 150 pounds here. now our ladders will hold 300 pounds a piece on each of the rungs. it doesn't even bend. it's very secure. no, it doesn't bend, doesn't move, doesn't twist. [chuckling] now really folks what you've got here is the good, bad, and the ugly and i'll let you make that decision. you just hold it back a little bit and it slides right out. and then when you want to click it up into place, you just lift up the other end and it clicks into place. i couldn't believe it. you don't have to do it, it does it itself. the little giant has a really great capability. it will fit in my car.
5:37 am
it can fit in the back seat, we can shut the door and move it any place we want. robin, let's show the folks at home the difference between an ordinary ladder and the little giant ladder. this is an ordinary ladder rail, a cross section. slide that over the end here. let's see what you can do with a little bit of leverage. ok. [shocked] look at that! that's a little too easy. look at that. it's crumbling right there in the middle. [chuckling] it doesn't take much to make it happen. and again, you don't want to be very high in the air with something like that. that's amazing. ok, let's do the same test with a little giant rail. this is a cross section. as you can see it's a box frame construction. alright, we'll insert that in the clamp. just put the leverage on there. ok, just go for it. alright. and just twist it like...[struggling]... oh, come on. here, let me try. let me get the bottom. give him a little help. [all laughing] this is just not going. we can't. there's no way.
5:38 am
i would much rather have twisted this one. i daresay that that pretty well sums it up. it does. i would think so. this thing is strong and it takes a lot of abuse. it's solid. it doesn't sway. it doesn't move around at all. the sturdiness gives me the extra security knowing, "hey i'm not going to fall off this thing." odds are you already have a ladder. most people do. but the facts are you will get more done easier, quicker, and safer with your little giant ladder. and if you've ever tried to work around stairs you know that's nearly impossible to do with an ordinary ladder. but with a little giant, it's as easy as working on flat ground. the little giant just makes sense. it's the strongest, safest, most versatile ladder ever made. and with the special offer and the no-risk guarantee there's no tit call and order yours now. well, wh the little giant came i cut that piece of the box off, nailed it up on my garage wall so then i could always remember the different ways i could use it.
5:39 am
the little giant helped me paint my kitchen. i was able to angle the ladder on the stairs and i was able to climb up there. i felt sturdy and steady and i was able to paint the corners and the top and the ceiling without a problem. the little giant ladder has some of the most demanding customers in the world. all branches of our u.s. military have purchased and are using the little giant ladder systems in a wide variety of applications. one of the applications we use it is at the launch pad. in order to get the little giant ladder down to the place where we actually are going to use it, it's got to go through some very small confined spaces. so we get it down into the module and then actually fold it out to its full size. the little giant ladder is so versatile that it basically accommodated all of our unusual tasks. little giant ladders are very durable. they're dependable, a very rigid ladder. i've got some pretty big operators and then you add all their gear and you're look at about a 300 pound guy. they're very structurally sound and safe to be able to get where they need to go when they've got a weapon in their hand. i own three of them. i'm a general contractor and i
5:40 am
wouldn't own any other ladder. i'm a general contractor and i've owned my own personal little giant for 25 years. i'm the rescue captain in my volunteer fire department and i keep a 17-footer on my truck. we use it for everything. this ladder is second to none and i would never trust the safety of my men to something of lesser quality. i'm a little bit of big guy so the security and safety of it just blew me away. it's very stable, very safe, easy to get up and down on. the rungs don't hurt your feet. do you feel comfortable up there? oh yeah. can you shake a little bit? i can shake a lot. it's not going anywhere. it's awesome. i weigh 380 pounds and i'm not afraid. you'll be amazed with the strength, safety, and versatility of this ladder. and the little giant weighs in at just 35 pounds. that's less than your 3 year old.
5:41 am
with the little giant, you'll have many jobs completed in the time you used to spend figuring out how to get those ordinary ladders into the house. i'm 73 years old and i can get on that ladder and do anything i want because it's safer than walking up stairs i think. if you want to change a light bulb i don't care how high it is. in my house i can get it and we have some pretty tall ceilings. i lift it around. if i want to fix a curtain or hang a drape or do anything i've got my little giant. it's just the perfect thing. anybody could use this ladder. you're only pushing in two red knobs and you're only pulling out a couple of bars in the ladder extension. there are only so many moving parts. i mean, it's not difficult at all. if you see it done once, you know how to do it. there's no magic to it. a quality ladder really isn't a luxury. with all you do, it's a necessity. think about the times you could have used a little giant. this is one purchase you'll be glad you made.
5:42 am
you'll use your little giant for the rest of your life. it's an investment to last a lifetime. so we highly recommend that you order yours right now. the little giant ladder system is actually 24 ladders in one. you get several sizes of a-frame ladders, staircase ladders 90-degree ladders, extension ladders, and two trestles for scaffolding all in one small easy-to-store package. with the little giant you can easily work on stairs, uneven surfaces, and safely do all those difficult jobs around your home or office that you just couldn't do in the past. when was the last time you felt safe and secure at the top of a ladder? the strong and sturdy little giant won't bend and sway like ordinary ladders. you'll never again have to maneuver those large clumsy ladders through your home. the compact little giant can be easily moved even into the most difficult situations. and you can transport the little giant in your car instead of on top of your car.

you're never really going to understand how totally secure and comfortable you feel up here. this is absolutely wonderful. now, when you're going to do a job you need to take tools and equipment with you. well, aha, now we go from a safety rail to an air deck where we have all kinds of places to put attachments. justin, come over. make yourself useful as well as good-looking. [robin laughing] you know what? we're the only ladder in the world that has a place to put your cup. i love that. ok, there you go. hey, give me some stuff. give me a hammer. give me a drill. there you go. here's a drill driver. give me a screwdriver. how about a screwdriver? give me whatever you've got. does your wife know that's missing? [chuckling] anyway, it's the greatest ladder in the world folks. and you've got room for everything. and now, where do we put the paint? i have an answer for that too. we call this the fuel tank and it's much much more than just something to put paint into. let me have a brush, ok?
5:51 am
ok, there's the brush. the first thing that's very very frustrating to me is you drop this brush, it goes down in the paint, and you have to fish it out. not with this. you've got a nice little magnet and it hangs onto it right there. and with the roller, voila! and you know what folks? it holds an entire gallon! think about that. instead of just a quart that you're running up and down the ladder trying to get and dripping all over the place, you've got it all right here. and it's not just for paint. you can pick fruit and put it in there, you can use your cleaning supplies, you can even put some of the tools i used a moment ago in it and there's more. i'm going to let robin do the cleanup. so robin it's up to you. and i actually really hate the cleanup. but this fuel tank is made out of a special material that allows me to make that cleanup so easy. so all i need to do is now just peel this paint away just like this. isn't this amazing? it makes it so easy that i don't even mind painting anymore. isn't that a lot easier than trying to strip one of those thgs o witpainthinr?
5:52 am
[impressed] isn't that incredible? wow! look at hoclean that is. it's as clean as new. and you know, you can put fruit in it, you can put tools in it. it's just wonderful. i'm going to remove the outer base totally off of the ladder. i'm going to hand that to you. can you take that? ok. wow, that's so light. and then we're going to go back down to the other side and remove again the outer base. thank you very much. we are also going to include a pair of trestle brackets. what i can do with those, first slip one in this side, put one in this side, and then you take the two-thank you, robin. you're welcome. take the two and put them together. reinsert and would you adjust that over there for me, robin? there you go. now we have a nice scaffolding. and it's wonderful. come on up here with me. ok. now you don't have to move the ladder every few feet. you have a very nice scaffolding system built right in your ladder.
5:53 am
when it comes time to move ordinary ladders, you know how you have a tendency to want to drag them? well with the little giant xtreme, you don't have to do that. you just tilt it back onto its wheels and let the wheels do the work. you just roll it into position and voila! you know what's great about the little giant? you can go from four foot seven to a seventeen foot extension ladder with ease. show them how it's done, robin. oh, i do this all the time when i need to get up on the roof and do my christmas lights. i just push the hinge in on one side, walk under it, and- the only ladder in the world that you can walk under that gives you good luck. [robin laughs] now, what we're asking her to do is a pretty tall order for a very petite woman. watch what we do here. hal, could you be the house? i certainly can. i'll be your house, ok? [chuckling] ok, you be my house. and then i just walk it up rung by rung and it's that easy. and i feel such a sense of accomplishment. wow, isn't that great?
