Adjustable ladders

[Paul G]

I've been using little giant ladders for a few years and they work well, but I often find myself wishing I could set them to different angles at the hinge, like 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 or some similar range of angles. Is there another brand of ladder that offers more angle adjustments than little giant? I've been searching and not finding so thought to ask. Thanks in advance.

What tight spots are you getting yourself into that you need " more" angles than those?

One example is roof gutter cleaning, ground is uneven making the regular stepladder config a pain, and can't lean an extension ladder on the gutter, extension ladder stabilizers don't push me away from the wall far enough to reach the gutter. But a little giant set to about 120 degrees and leaning against the wall below the gutters would be perfect access. If there was a stabilizer that set me away from the wall about 3' that could work also for this, but would be nice to not have to hassle with more accessories and just have a versatile ladder.

Slightly off topic - am I reading correctly that you have very wide roof overhangs on your California house?

Why not just add a stabilizer to keep it off the gutter and on the roof?

Yes, there are roof contact stabilizers, some roofing materials I'd rather not use them on (tile especially), prefer contacting the wall in general so I can see where I'm resting the ladder, yet another big awkward thing to store some place, and doesn't work if there's a side slope to the roof (hanging xmas lights is another example)

Measuring from the wall it's about 3' or so, very big to me would be my friends house is about 5', he'd dig on this kind of ladder also

Might be this just doesn't exist in the marketplace, oh well.
