 "Tool Lasso/Bigg Lugg 2 compatible, work well" 2009-09-23
By M. R. Smith (Central NC)
Both the Werner Tool Lasso and Bigg Lugg 2 work well and they are compatible, as is the Ladder Lugg attachment for ladders. Only downside I found is that some of the newer drills and drivers with batteries that do not have the "battery bulge" at the base of the handle don't attach well. Also, really large nail guns do tend to be a bit cumbersome.



The 5 pack of bungees sold for the Bigg Lugg 2 works for the Tool Lasso as well.

 "Decent and Flexible Multi-Ladder" 2010-02-12
By M. Ross (Orange, CA USA)
I have had this ladder for several years now and use it for both home and professional use. As a painting contractor, this has come in handy on several occasions where the job was too small to haul out the full-size extension ladder. Here is a breakdown of my experience:



Pros:

+ Folds down compact - This ladder folds down to a relatively small size of about 3' x 1' x 1.5'. This allows it to be stored easily in large closet, small shed, or anywhere in your garage. It also makes it great to transport: I once borrowed my wife's Toyota Rav4 and this ladder fit nicely in the back, along with all my other equipment.



+ Articulates to unusual shapes - Unlike other extendable ladders, the joints on this allow it to be adjusted to unusual shapes that allows it to reach areas that are difficult to get to. For example, it can be turned into an inverted 'L' shape to reach over a large entertainment center without touching it, allowing access to the wall or ceiling above.



+ Good weight capacity - Mine is rated at 300lbs- not sure if they changed the weight rating, but is has held up well to a lot of use.



+ Value - This is a fairly good value for a multi-ladder with this kind of flexibility.



Cons:



- Latching mechanisms - The levers to actuate these could have been designed better, in my opinion. They are relatively stiff and hug closely to the ladder frame, requiring some decent finger-power to lift them off. Also, because of the articulating nature of this ladder, and perhaps as a safety feature, the locking mechanism locks in several positions whenever you swivel a segment; if you want to extend the ladder fully, then, you will have to pull the levers several times to keep unlocking the joints as they will lock-in to every position along the way.



- slop - Or you could call this play. Due to the number of joints, the ladder will exhibit much more play during use than would an equivalent dedicated A-frame or extension ladder. When fully extended, for example, there is noticeable sag, as slack is taken up by the three joints per side. The locks have never failed me and I've grown to trust the ladder, but it takes some getting used to.



- Narrow - While the base is actually quite good and stable, the ladder itself is relatively narrow. This probably wouldn't be an issue for many, but it gets a little crowded on one rung when occupied by size 12 work boots.



Other thoughts:



I have everything from two foot platform ladders to 24' 300# capacity fiberglass extension ladders, and I am happy to have this one in my toolkit. It's not always the first thing I reach for, but there are times when it is just perfect for the job. It would make a great single ladder for a household that wouldn't need a ladder often, or for people who want flexibility in just one ladder.



It's not perfect, though the shortcomings stem mostly from a trade-off between flexibility and single-purpose use. It has held up well over the years and has been used often.

 "great for a one ladder household" 2009-11-19
By J. Williams (Saint Paul, Minnesota United States)
It's heavy, it can take a little bit to get set to the right position, and the rungs hurt your feet a bit if you're on it for awhile. I can forgive all that because I only need to own one ladder and a small step ladder. I'm a big guy so ladders built for me are always a bit heavy. I've never met a light 8' step ladder (for a 250-300# guy). The set up can take a minute or two to get set in the configuration you need (there are a lot of lock stops in the pivot joints) but that kind of comes with the territory of such a versatile unit. The third mini-beef I have with this thing is that the rungs hurt my feet a bit if I'm on it for awhile. As long as I wear stiff soled boots (instead of sneakers), no problems. Storage is pretty easy, leave it in the folded 8' position and it swings up between the rafters in my garage. A pulley, a pivot, and a rope and you can store this thing easily in a minute.

 "Not my favorite ladder..." 2009-03-22
By Victor H. Agresti (Gaithersburg, MD United States)
Werner 16-Foot Type 250-Pound Rated Articulated Ladder #M1-8-16



I've owned one of these ladders for about 10 years.



Cons:



- I find the the 1" rungs to be uncomfortable to stand on for any length of time, particularly when wearing sneakers. (This issue can be addressed by using a ClimbTek PS100 Platform, sold by Amazon, but that's another fifty bucks.)



- made me nervous being on it in the fixed 16' ladder configuration, as it bowed inward quite a bit, as my 250 pounds climbed it. Once on it, it stayed that way. You'd probably be safe if you weigh less than 200 pounds.



- ladder isn't adjustable for height. 16' is the only choice.



- minor issues: a) in the stepladder arrangement, there is no top tray to rest tools and supplies. (An after-market platform, such as the ClimbTek PS100, works well as a tool tray); b) ladder doesn't lock in the closed position, so you have to hold it from spreading apart when you carry it; c) when closed, it's somewhat awkwardly bulky and heavy to carry; d) can't be stored outside, as the locking mechanism is steel and that would rust.



Pros:



- each section locks into its various positions with distinctive snap, so you know it's secure.



- the wide bottom "foot" does a very good job of stabilizing the ladder.



- the included stabilizer bar is a nice plus - makes the ladder safer, plus it's a huge help when leaned against something, like straddling a house window.



- folds up compactly, so it doesn't take much space to store. It fits easily in a small SUV, and some car trunks if the rear seat folds down. It stands upright in the closed position in our shed.



- has some unusual configurations that no other type of ladder can match.



Summary:



I own nine ladders, but only rarely use this Werner. You might want to consider a more flexible ladder, such as the less expensive Werner 17' Aluminum Telescoping Multi-ladder (sold by Amazon).

 "great ladder" 2006-11-13
By C. Free
I've been using this extremely convenient ladder on the job site for over six years and have only had one problem in all that time - I pinched my finger in one of the articulating joints. Once you figure out how to adjust the ladder quickly, it's a great ladder. I use it often in the scaffolding position and it is easy to pack and haul.

I'd recommend it to anybody. In fact I'm looking at getting another for my brother and my local distributor doesn't carry them any more - they now carry a cheaper model made by another company.

 "Questionable Quality" 2006-02-12
By jaydro (Durham, NC USA)
Mine came with the holes drilled in the ladder rails and base such that the base could not possibly be correctly attached, which made me wonder about the construction quality of the ladder as a whole. I returned it, but haven't decided which other brand I might try, though I definitely wouldn't buy another Werner.
