Louisville Ladder 6 ft. Fiberglass Step Ladder vs Little Giant Flip-N-Lite M6

Buy the Louisville fiberglass ladder if you will work near live wiring or need a taller climb with a tool top. Buy the Little Giant Flip-N-Lite if you want a light ladder you can carry, set up and fold with one hand, and a platform to stand on for longer jobs. The Louisville is the sturdier, more traditional step ladder with a 225 lb rating and a 10 ft reach; the Little Giant is aluminum, so it conducts electricity, but it holds 300 lb, folds flat and has a 13 by 13 inch standing platform. Owners of both call them sturdy and easy to use; the Little Giant's larger review base is especially positive about its weight and storage.

• Choose the Louisville Ladder 6 ft. Fiberglass Step Ladder if you do electrical work, want a non-conductive ladder, or need the pipe and 2x4 holder on the top.
• Choose the Little Giant Flip-N-Lite if you want a light aluminum ladder with a standing platform that folds flat and sets up with one hand.
