I was in Home Depot yesterday and heard over the P.A. system an ad for Little Giant ladders. Prior to yesterday (at least at the local home depot) they did not carry Little Giant, but did carry Gorilla knock offs.
Do you think that’s why some here have mentioned Gorillas on sale at HD? Clearing out the stock to make room for the Little Giants? If so, I wonder how badly HD had to beat up Little Giant to get them to their price point.
Mind you, I didn’t actually see the ladders because that aisle was blocked off due to fork lift working there.

The local HD here has had LG's for a year, maybe 2.
I have no idea of their plans for Gorilla, but the special was a clearly a Black Friay special and not a clearance item.
And the price points are so so different that I doubt that the plan is to replace the Gorilla's with LG's.

I bought my LG at the local HD 12-18 months ago, they had a pile of them then, none since. Gorillas of every shape and size still going strong. So, who knows...

LG makes two different lines. One is a lighter duty version that they sell at considerably less than the heavier version.
Actually they 4 different lines in the convential Little Giant style.Type 1, 1A, 1AA, and fiberglass 1AOnline they don't show up in the local HD.But the HD online ordering has a couple of type 1 and 1AA, but mostly the 1A and fiberglass..

Sams club is carring LG 17' for a 159$ thats the best price I have seen ,and like them they also carry a knockoff that they have bumped the price up to 119. I bought 2 of those at 99$ each a while back , but I like the feel of the LG's adjusters enough to spring for them.
