[Music] so I I have a king combo and this is it actually has a really cool feature at the top split and studs right regular step ladders aren't designed to lean against the wall legs will fall open this is lock shut they don't have a pad up the top like this has but your wall is not always flat that you lean against so we can rotate the pad around that way you can put it on a outside corner a stud wall inside corner a pole totally legal because it's designed to do that right according to oosha you're not supposed to use a ladder for something that's not designed to do which this is designed to be a leaning ladder when you want to make the uh step ladder you just grab the handle right here it's a one-handed operation so that you can release it and lock it into the A-frame mode this is straight up and down parallel on both sides that way you can get in between studs on studs on 16in centers and the reason for that is because that gets you closer to the work right if you can get closer to the work you're not going to reach and overreach as much and so and it gives you some leverage closer to the wall that's pretty smart you can take off the feet but what that does it's the same kind of thing so when I I put that up at the top it gives you the same ability to work on the work on the corners work on the inside corner work on the stud right same kind of thing is the the top cap here so does this come standard on this ladder so it comes stand standard on the king combo right that's an option and again it depends which series you buy right because our our industrial Series has the ground queue like we told you about over here so the ground queue that I have on my ladders is an orange bar right so is it this is this so it does the same thing but this you don't have to worry about dirt and stuff going into this way it just kind of goes off the sides so this is an improvement from the the yeah because I think I think the orange bar you know paints eventually get a could overspray and and dust could eventually build up inside of it but that's going to resolve that right I like that but lightweight you see yeah that's pretty light this is called the jumbo step right now I actually have one of these and when I first saw it I probably wouldn't have purchased it but then I got one you know um from Little Giant and I got to say it's probably the most used la lad that I use now I absolutely love the ladder so can you show us a little bit about this ladder and the features that go along with it absolutely and I have to agree with you I I use this more than I use any of the other ladders at my house it's nice because it's compact it's only about 4 in thick right here so very very small you can put it between the appliances and store it nicely in a closet with a Twist you can open it up and then it's got rungs that are only 9 in Rises so it's easy to climb which makes makes it more like a staircase than a ladder and because it's a step stool you can actually step on the top rung right which is more like a staircase like I said one of the things I really like about it is the wide steps on it like being on a staircase you just feel more comfortable you're doing a lot of cut ends you know your feet start to get uncomfortable you know spanning you know a short rung on a ladder and stuff that is just super comfortable and it seems to be a lot lighter than a 6t ladder easy to about 16 lb pretty light but you can go all the way to the top here and then at the top with this bar up here you can balance against it get right up close to your work you could also hang a can of paint if you were doing some painting or a bucket for SIDS to wash off the RV I carry my cut bucket with me but you could hang your cut Bucket from right there um you do have some features on top the ladder what are the features I I stick my drill in the top of it I like to watch YouTube instructional videos so I can put my phone right up there where I can watch while I'm working so or Netflix you know if I'm really lazy so right here a power cord could come right through here into the power cord could be sitting there so you could plug a power tool into it a tape measure will clip on right here screwdrivers will stick in there um I I use this the top of it all the time dropping nuts and bolts in there removing lights and stuff like that pretty cool so one of my favorite parts of this though uh is the fact that I can put put the handle down and still use it in fact that's how I get in my pickup truck I can walk into the pickup truck this way load it from the front and because it's a staircase I can walk right back out [Music]
