What It Is: A ladder system.
Best Description: It’s really 24 ladders in one – it’s like having an entire garage of ladders.
Shills: Richard Karn, Tim Allen’s co-host on Home Improvement’s “Tool Time.” A woman named Robin Hartl.
Tan pants? Yes. Hartl has the blue shirt, too.
Quote: “One ladder does it all!”
Gimmick: Putting 10 people on the ladder, including the infomercial’s producer and director – apparently the entire studio staff except the camera operator.
Trivia: The first Little Giant Ladder was sold more than 30 years ago.
Patriot Act: Noted several times that the ladder is American-made. All branches of the U.S. military have purchased and are using Little Giant ladders.
Quote: “You can make it tall, short, go upstairs, go downstairs.”
Bonus demonstration: Fat guy on a Little Giant Ladder.
Cost: $359.80.
Easy Payments? No.
Comment: From the sound of it, this ladder can send spaceships to the moon and cure cancer. Little Giant Ladder for President!
