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 hole, they snap in automatically. and then you go back to your hinge, drop this down, and 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. now, think about this-you can make this as long as you want. you don't have to move that
1:01 pm
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. it can fit in the back seat, we can shut the door and move it any place we want.
1:02 pm
robin, let's show the folks at home the difference between an ordinary 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. i would much rather have twisted this one. i daresay that that pretty well sums it up.
1:03 pm
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 need to wait. call and order yours now. well, when 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. 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.
1:04 pm
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 lnch 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 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 wouldn't own any other ladder. i'm a general contractor and i've owned my own personal little giant for 25 years.

1:13 pm
we used a brand new composite alloy that's used on the leading edges of the wings of fighter planes. really? and we're the only ladder company in the world that's licensed to use it, which makes it not only stronger, but even lighter than the original little giant. look at this. [impressed] woo! check that out. i've got to try that. wow, it is lighter! now you thought i was just showing off, didn't you? not only is it lighter, look at these rock locks. nobody in the world has these. it's our own patent. one finger, just one single finger and out it comes just like that and down it comes. put your rock locks back in. and you know what? they find their own level. and then squeeze that. yeah, go ahead and do that. it can't get easier. look at that. the rock locks are so easy to use. very easy. and now pull it back up, click it together. i'm going to let robin show you how easy it is to move from one project to the next. look at that. i love this. isn't that nice? just wheel that around wherever you want to go. it's just so easy to transport. there you go. you don't just have to push your husband around anymore.
1:14 pm
just push it around. robin, i need a helping hand. ok, you got it. ok, we have here a comfort platform-the only articulated ladder in the whole world that has that. and you can't use it unless you have something to hang to. so what we have here is a very nice safety grip. the safety grip fits in here like that. now i have something to hang onto. now folks, i've been doing ladders for 40 years, ok? and i've never felt this safe and this secure on any ladder ever. until you feel it yourself 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
1:15 pm
world that has a place to put your cup. i love that. ok, there you go. hey, give me some stuff. nuts and bolts. and i hate chasing those things. you know, people are used to going up and having nuts and bolts fall all over the place. i can even stand them on end. give me a hammer. give me a drill. there you go. here's a drill driver. give me a screwdriver. how about a screwdriver? how about a wrench? give me whatever you've got. have you got anything else? how about some windshield washer fluid? a light bulb, i've even got a place for light bulbs. and do you need a snack? a candy bar. something to keep me-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. . here we go. 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? 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
1:16 pm
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 things out with paint thinner? [impressed] isn't that incredible? wow! look at how clean that is.
1:17 pm
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. when it comes time to move ordinary ladders, you know how you have a tendency to want to drag them?
1:18 pm
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? forty years of american craftsmanship. we've been building ladders for
1:19 pm
forty years and making it better every year. nobody can even come close to duplicating that. and you know what that means for me? it means that my work is faster, it's easier, and it's safer. another thing, two words: lifetime warranty. i don't know any other ladder on the face of the planet that gives you a thirty day warranty. we give you a lifetime warranty. and more than that, we'll give you sixty days' money back guarantee. you get, and you don't like it, and it doesn't do what i tell you it's going to do, send it back. i'll take it back. just when you thought a ladder couldn't get any better, the new little giant ladder is even stronger, safer, and more versatile than ever before. introducing the little giant xtreme. the little giant xtreme is the finest ladder in the world. with the new rock locks, you can quickly change from one configuration to the next even faster and easier than ever before.

i mean, sometimes, it's absolutely amazing the difference you could see after just one treatment. to show you what i mean, let me introduce you to rachelle, who is using facemaster for the first time, right? >> mm-hmm. >> and i asked rachelle to just focus on one side of her face so that we could see the difference. and she's just finishing up right now. o.k., rachelle, you've been working on the eye, lifting the eyebrow, right? >> mm-hmm. >> and what else have you done? >> worked on the parenthesis and the lip, smile turning up. >> right. and lifting the cheek, i see. >> lifting the cheek. >> yeah, i can really see that. i want you to look into the camera. i would like you all to see what one treatment on one half of her face has done. look at the difference in the lifted look of the eyebrow. look at the hollow under the eye. look at the lifted look of the cheek. and it looks like that whole side has a lifted look. it's just really incredible.

>> the women who use facemaster, it's like we have a little secret. and that's because the eyes are more wide open. they're glowing, they're clear. you've got your volume, but you've got structure. it's the structure. aging is sagging. youth is lifted. with the facemaster, you get this beautiful lifted look. >> i have never seen a better way to tone your face muscles than using the facemaster. >> so, with the facemaster, i could, you know, easily put it here and have an instant lift that lasts. it wasn't like it lasted for five minutes; it lasted and lasted and lasted. >> using the facemaster makes me feel like i have control over the aging process. and i like that. [laughs >> announcer: when suzanne somers assembled a team to design something that would deliver the micro-current, face-toning benefits of a medical spa machine-- in a
1:38 pm
use-at-home, handheld device-- she called on dr. peter hanson to be the medical consultant on the project. >> the skin and the muscles are a team. and if the skin starts to sag, you can believe that the real cause, the root cause, is the sagging muscles underneath. as we age, we want to keep those muscles toned. >> the way i understand, and the way i've been explaining the facemaster, it's like going to the gym. when you go to the gym and you workout, you know, if you use free weights you're going to be cut and defined and you can, um, resculpt and shape your body. >> pump yourself up. >> pump yourself up. >> exactly. the muscles do exactly that. the muscles expand. the skin therefore has a bigger volume to cover. so now the skin looks smoother. the facemaster becomes your own personal gym. what it does is it stimulates the muscles. this is the same treatment that they use in the spa. the facemaster is the only way you can do that at home with the same electrical output as a $12,000 machine for the price of just two treatments. >> you have to tone your muscles, so you have to

1:40 pm
just micro-current technolog that works wonders. reason number two: it's fast. only 15 minutes a few times a week with facemaster and you can take years off the appearance of your face. reason number three: it's affordable, especially stacked up against a professional in-office treatment that could cost you $150 or $200 or more for each visit. reason number four: it's customizable. its adjustable micro-current settings and hand wands allow you to customize the facemaster, target toning specific problem areas for detailed sculpting, and feathering to eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. reason number five: it works! just ask the thousands upon thousands who use it. >> i saw immediate results. immediate results. it's like you're exercising the muscles in your face that you can't touch. so when you use the micro current, it's, like, [vocalizes]

1:47 pm
do you feel that? yes. it's quivering away. that's good. this means it's working. o.k., now when it beeps, you move to, like, an inch away. yeah, right there. very good. very good. o.k. and you keep it there for about 10 seconds 'til it beeps. and then we're gonna move to the final section of the eyebrow, like that. o.k.? in time, your eyebrows will have that lifted look. and the hollow will have that look that it's disappeared. so that's three easy steps. o.k., penny. so you're just finishing up and how does it feel? >> it feels like it's working. i like that feeling. and you looked in the mirror, what did you see? >> i just can't believe how quickly it just changed. >> yeah, imagine after prolonged use too. it gets better and better. o.k., nadia. >> yes. >> what do you feel? >> well, um, it feels a little tingly. >> uh-huh. >> and then when i stop, it kinda, it feels refreshed, a little tightened, kind of like
