I had bought a couple of these for work when the sale started at $49.88 which was posted on slickdeals frontpage at that price. Then yesterday I noticed they now dropped down to $39.88 so Home Depot had me do a return and repurchase at the lower price since they were both "black friday" labeled sales and I also bought a few more at the new lower price.

Aluminum, wood, fiberglass ladders all have unique pluses and minuses.

Wood.
+ natural, recyclable, wood fibers take stress and when overloaded, break slowly, not suddenly. But can flex a bit without damage.
Well maintained, can last decades.
+ safe around electrical wiring
- heavier than aluminum
- water + termites can damage it

Aluminum
+ lightest.
+ Generally corrosion proof with the exception of some chemicals and salts.
+ fine in wet conditions
- fastest to snap/bend and fail if unevenly and over loaded.
- not the choice around electrical wiring and devices

Fiberglass
+ fails slower than aluminum under excessive loads, bends then fails
+ non conductive so safer around electrical wiring
+ fine in wet conditions
- sun/uv exposure causes degradation of the fiberglass.

....

Key with aluminum is even leg loading. You don't want it on any surface where it rocks or wobbles, forcing the load(you) onto 3 legs.

This will bend the aluminum and like a cola can, bend it far enough with your weight on top and it'll suddenly buckle.

Don't dent it.
Don't damage the 2 step side braces.

And with ALL ladders, keep your weight/body centered between the rails! Moving the center of mass outside the rails invites tipping falls.

....

Those on ladders a lot, platform aluminum ladders like those from Gorilla at Home Depot are much nicer due to a wide top step. You'll feel very stable on that vs the narrow steps of stepladders, and your arches don't hurt.

For the first general ladder, this A frame aluminum or Gorilla platform aluminum would be my everyday go to.

Beyond that, depends on what type of work you're doing.
It's the other way around, fiberglass is stronger and heavier than aluminum, plus you can get electrocuted using an aluminum ladder.
Buy the new one and bring with you old receipt and walk back in and return. Bam, price adjusted. No need to put any ladder on your car.

Really good price for a Werner. I have a 6 footer from them that I bought 15 years ago. Still solid.

Quote from varvarvar :
I did the same and called home Depot. I was told they are not allowed to price adjust if it is a black Friday sale. Doesn't make any sense to me. It is going to be a hassle to order a new one and return the old one to store though, given the size.
When I called the online order center, they said they can't do anything since the $49 was a black Friday deal. When I took them back to the store, they gave me the credit since the current store price was $39 as well as the online price.

Fiberglass version for $50. Better?

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Werne.../100658411

Way better. Worth it to spend the extra $10

Fiber glass is only 1/2 pound heavier than aluminium.

I bought the camo 5' Werner for like $50, same one I used doing electrical most of the time because of the optimal size, good for most rooms. I love it. Built my mom's shed with it. I wouldn't trade it for aluminum, but an aluminum one that's a step taller would be handy if I had room for an extra one. I had trouble getting on top of my shuttle bus with it. Personally, I want to get a collapsible ladder that takes up little space, but only to get up and down, not for working on. That's why I wouldn't recommend one for actual work.

Aluminum is a great ground point for those shocking moments in life (electrical shock hazard)

Any thoughts on comparing the Costco $159 Giant Little ladder with Gorilla ladder for $99?

The fiberglass one isnt showing the tray that is really nice for holding painting suppliers. I assume you could get some add-on shelves though?

I bought this a Werner ladder like 15 years ago, the blue 6ft aluminum and honestly it's been fantastic. It's light weight, the best benefit in my opinion, and it's easy to carry, store, move whatever. It fits in about any vehicle if the seat comes down in the back. I have a Little Giant multi-position ladder but they are so freaking heavy they are a last resort. This thing is fantastic for anything when working on an 8-foot ceiling. 9-foot is probably stretching it unless you're just painting and don't need to get your body too high above the...limitations of the ladder.
