We’ve all seen videos on America’s Funniest Home Videos of idiots falling off ladders. This is a national pastime. But unfortunately these falls can be eliminated completely with the right gear. So don’t be the next Youtube sensation falling into arose bush, check out our pick for the most durable step ladder on the marker: The Little Giant Adjustable Step Ladder.
Little Giant has made a name for itself in making pro-level ladders available to the general public. This lightweight ladder system can reach between 6 and 10 feet up and can even be used on uneven surfaces or stairs. It includes a really well thought out workstation at the top with hand rails to make sure you are secure while you are at the top step. The steps themselves are thicker than usual step ladders, allowing your feet to have a wider surface area to grip. But the real magic here is the 300 pound Type IA aluminum that the ladder is constructed from. This makes for an incredibly sturdy and durable ladder. Both ends of the ladder are adjustable so you can easily set this up in almost any scenario.
On Amazon this ladder is one of their most highly reviewed units, with 219 reviews and a solid 4.5 star rating. It is our pick for the best and most “buy it for life” BIFL step ladder available.
