WHY I CHOSE THE MPX22 GORILLA LADDER INSTEAD OF THE LITTLE GIANT

GORILLA LADDER VS. LITTLE GIANT: Why I bought the MPX22 Gorilla Ladder instead of the Little Giant. There are a couple of differences between the Gorilla ladder and the Little Giant and n this video I talk about the basic features, share how I have used the Gorilla MPX22 over the years, and compare the two ladders.

Bottom line, the Gorilla does pretty much everything I have needed it to do and I have absolutely no regrets. It has met and or exceeded all my expectations for all my DIY projects around the house and up on the future homestead.

I just bought the 22 ft gorilla ladder. I never use one im skeptical with the locking mechanism and if it will hold 😅

I have the older Gorilla AL-13 and AL-22 that combined cost less that 1 Little Giant. They are both about 15 years old now. I mainly use the AL-22 as most of the things I need to work with around the house are high up in the air. Besides, there are numerous comments and owner photos of Little Giant failures, like broken welds, etc. The Gorillas I have are just like new after 15+ years of use.

The only maintenance I have done on them is lubricate the hinge components once a year. I've used various lubricants, but basically a light oil before I put them up for the winter.

These old Gorilla's are wonderful, very strong and sturdy. I am afraid of heights but have no fear of falling from these ladders. I only use them in the A-frame position, not the fully extended 22' extension ladder position. I have a 24' and a 32' extension ladder for really high places. I get a little wobbly in the knees on those.

Yesterday I ordered the MPXW-26 which was on sale for $289 @ Home Depot. I have 2 light fixtures that are next to impossible to reach with the AL-22, so this will solve that problem.

The selling point for me was that the little tractor has a ground leveling feature. My ground is uneven, and I constantly have to counter my weight on my regular extension ladder when im cleaning the gutters.

Great Gorilla Ladder real life demo video! Loved the quote at the end from Paul J Meyer, Success Motivation from the 70s? Right? What a great program! 😎😎

Fantastic review my friend. Love that it is unbiased and just your experience.

I have had my Little Giant 17' Ladder for over 20 years, never had a problem with welds breaking or anything else. I use mine all the time around the house, both in and outdoors. There are two things that the video did not mention about the Little Giant.
1. There is a platform available (which I have) that makes it more comfortable than having to stand on a rung.
2. The Little Giant legs can be slid apart which gives you 4 legs and it can be used as a scaffold, and it only requires 1 ladder.

Wow! 22' with the 375 lb rating for $99 is insane. I'm looking at websites for BF deals now where people are jumping all over the 18' 300 lb rating for $99. Maybe I will wait a little longer and see if some better deals come along. Probably not the best year to try and find super deals like this though. Great honest review without that corrupt "sponsored" word.

Thank you for this amazing review video!😃

I got the Gorilla 23 inch with project top and wheels. For additional safety, I also installed the Levelok Quick Connect Ladder Leveler Kit. It's a very sturdy ladder that should last for years.

Love my gorilla ladder. I bought some of the little giant accessories to use with it and it just adds to my love for it!

I have this ladder. The extra 1/2" width on the steps allowed me to use my older 8' - 13.5' finger jointed extension plank that was a little too wide for the Little Giant. No brainer for me.

[PracticallySquared]

Great video!! I was debating between the two and the new leveler feature sold me in the little giant. When your on uneven ground you just step on the tab on the one side and it with ratchet into a spot to make the ladder level. All 4 corners have it. It will extend up to 7" to accommodate for sloping terrain. Makes it nice when your using it as an extension ladder and for example cleaning gutters. Also it's designed and assembled in the USA vs all China built. Great ladder though. I might pick up a smaller gorilla if I ever catch a sell. I bought the 22' little giant.

[rejeanpaquet]

Good review, the Gorilla MPX22 is now $224, I'm also looking at the WERNER MTIAA-22 for only $156 (multi-position & same IAA rating). the Little Giant 22 is $239 and IA rated.

I have a similar ladder and it’s just a must have. I have a contractor grade one and still weighs a ton, despite the fact that it’s made of aluminium. Be safe and stay healthy.

[blonddiev]

I'm so lucky to have crossed your video I just got a call my boyfriend fell off a weak ladder and I started to goggle little giant someone had told me it was one of the best ladders I could buy but now for watching this vid mostly I'll be purchasing this one instead thank u 😊👍

[sparx]

I've been using the little giant revolution for 4 years, and just bought the king combo 6 tread step ladder, never had any trouble with it, I've seen loads of videos of people trying to use them, and make them look so awkward, I find it easy to put up, and rock steady at full height or in step form.

[danielt.]

Have the same ladder, I have the wheel kit and just ordered the tussle kit from HD wish they sold a gorilla hight stabilizer and working plank... but seeing this now ill look into getting the Warner stabilizer

[tgsgardenmaintenance]

Have to say that when I was searching for ladders, the Gorilla didn't come up. I ended up buying a Little Giant ladder. Used it this week for the first time, though it is rather heavy, it's very versatile and sturdy! Unfortunately whenever you buy anything, you always think you should have bought something else! Hindsight is amazing but I'm still very happy with my purchase!
