This is my step ladder. I never knew my real ladder. 

I have the gen 2 King Kombo in the 6’ and the 8’. Overall, sturdy and safe. The thing with the corner guard/ screw tray opening buttons popping out gone- different kind of mechanism now. One thing I found handy is that the 8’ in A frame mode is that a common 6’ stockade fence fits underneath without touching it, allowing you to get to both sides of a long run without having to walk all the way around. With a regular mid support strut step ladder, you would need something like a giant 16’! Also, when you use, say, the 6’ model in long ladder configuration, if you are able to work off the mid step you have a very safe and comfy double-deep rung/ platform to stand on.

i got a warner x5 because of your video here . i'm a BIG guy and the x5 is absolutely the sturdest feeling ladder i've ever been on ! thanks dude and take care , jeff

You forgot to mention that the Little Giant King Kombo is made in America. The Werner is made in Mexico.

Great video, thanks for taking the time. This could be the blueprint for how to discuss products/tools. The detail, fantastic, the "real-world use" discussion, reaching too far, all of it really great. Thank you!

Good honest review...thanks

Thank so much for this review

Excellent video thanks. Calling my paint store for the Werner

Great comparison.

Little Giant King Kombo is nice, the aluminum bracket seems structurally stronger than the Werner design as far as (failure point) if you go too far however the Orenge buttons make you question the main buttons on the King Kombo

great review, thanks

Great review.

Good info on your vid thank you

Great video. Bought the Werner Leansafe X3 today. Thanks

Nice review… it looks like little giant took your advice and got rid of the lock buttons… They now have a “grip and go” hinge release like the Warner

Funny I came across this video,as I have been looking at the king combo as I ned a new ladder.But I was looking at the Big Giant,give me food for thought now.

Man, why didn't I notice your video two days ago, I already ordered the Little Giant and although it's originally priced for $300, I got it for $200 and even with that $100 off, the Lean Safe Werner is $129 and more practical, I hate returning stuff

Love my Werner leansafe X3!

Awesome video, thanks for reviewing in such detail! Has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like actor John C. Reilly?

Liked just for the title :D lol

i need the versatility more so it's the King Kombo for me

Great video and review. Did you consider the Werner LEANSAFE X5 vs the LEANSAFE X3 that you have?

...and they are both Jet Rack compatible. Nice!

very good video

Werner rules!

Thanks for the review. I was thinking of buying this type of ladder... Time to go shopping 👍

The updated little giant fixes those problems love mine

A Little Giant representative came to my job to demo their ladders and that pad on the top that came off on you, came off on him too. He was just rotating it and it popped off.

Have the updated version so the king and its awesome.

Great video, do you have one in the 8’ ?

I use the little giant for a couple months it have like a 1/4 or 1/2 play when you are using it as a normal ladder I almost felt while standing in the last step recommended in the label I end up returning it ! They need to fix that problem to much liability , I was wondering if the Werner have the same issue ?

STEP LADDER WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!!

to get on my patio roof- often to access these just hit thje fascia and offer no legs above roof line for security getting up an down / needs an extra foot

i wonder if the king kombo xt would change how you feel about them

👍⚡

I know you not supposed to, but can you step on the top any of these without flipping it over? I mean how they are compare to a traditional 6’ ladder?

I have the Werner it’s my favorite ladder since I got it. It’s lightweight and very versatile.

That flip out thing is a deal killer

How much do each weigh?

is the open height of the 6ft ladder 6ft tall or the folded height

What boots are you wearing they look Comfortable ?

One thing every video has not mentioned is when the ladders are extended can you stand on the upper steps past the hinge area or not?

King Combo 2.0 Huge upgrade - now made in USA. Werner can't answer that.

You forgot to mention the thickness of the rungs after the 6th A Frame. The rungs on the little giant after 6ft is only held by 6 screws. 3 on each side. The Werner ladder rungs look way more sturdier. Obviously your not supposed to climb pass the 6th rung but would feel much more comfortable with the Werner.

Werner for me

When it comes to new designs, the copy is always an improvement. The King Kombo served me well for the past year. From what I can see on the flaws of the Werner: ~The steps are not leveled on both side, must be awkward carrying that on your shoulders. ~Those are some narrow ass trays, will be a pain to grab anything out of them. ~Yellow + Orange, that looks just wrong. ~The rubber feet on the narrow side have a smaller surface area, makes it even easier to tip over.

I have the Werner, but the yellow plastic handle is now broken after less than a year, and no parts or repairs available. Loved it, but now it's useless.

I appreciate his nonbias review, but this review is a little unfair, he is using the old-style King Kombo. Little Giant was the first to make these kinds of ladders and others just copied them. They have improved different features over the years. To be fair, compare it to the new style of King Kombo found at Lowe's. It is has a single handle adjustment, and the quality is way better than Werner. It comes in 4,6, and 8ft models (not just 6ft) in both fiberglass and aluminum. We have one of the old ones and one of the new models we use every day and the new one is way better!!!

I miss my red top ladders

Nice work pants, what brand is it?

I have the little giant and it’s a little to heavy

Screw Werner, I’ll never buy another . I’m a Louisville guy, needed a new 16’ extension ladder . Thought I’d try Werner , I’ve owned a few before, they frickin made the rungs smaller so you cant get ladder standoffs in the holes . I was so disappointed in Werner , and the fact that they don’t even make 16’ industry standard rungs , it’s bullshit , I’ll stick to little Giant and Louisville. At least they don’t go as cheap and sneakily change shit . Columbia, Keller, and Alaco we’re the best, too bad they all are extinct now…

my wife is a little giant and a leansafe in one and has a utility hole on top too. 2 more on bottom

Outdated review, The King Kombo has a better release latch now, superior in extended especially on corners, you need to remove this video and update.

You to lasy to use Little Giant ladders

Lol

Don’t buy the king combo the orange button is plastic falls off makes it useless .
