Great piece of kit
I was sceptical but being on my own when I boarded my drum studio made it really easy, 1 hour later I was done. Well worth the price, highly recommended

Small but very helpful
Used it to hold both plasterboard and plywood sheets in position prior to final trimming and fixing. It helps a lot, makes the job much easier and faster, buy 2 if you are solo boarding ceiling.They take the weight, keep boards in position and cost less than one damaged plasterboard.

Like another set of hands
I tried plaster boarding my ceiling, however I struggled on my own. I browsed Amazon as I was about to throw in the towel and came across these. Absolutely brilliant, such a simple idea which acts as an additional set of hands. Couldnât recommend enough

made an almost imposible job easy
this great little tool made my life so much easier than it could have been. lying on my back trying to fit plasterboard in a tiny eave a meter high, over my head i needed four hands but i only had two. without the help of this simple aid i couldn't have done it. Great value for money

These beautiful, simple pieces of plastic are a lifesaver. This is one of the 2 most valuable tools to have when hanging drywall, especially for high, angled ceilings. The other being a heavy-duty, chain-driven board lift with the optional (but is actually not an option to not have, IMO) board-lifting attachment for loading the board onto the rack. I'm currently working on a house with 2 14'+ angled ceiling rooms with exposed wooden beams about 3-4 ft from the peak and about 6-8 ft apart. Not a lot of room for more than one person to work and I got stuck hanging both except for the first row on the bottoms which we usually do with at least 2 people just to make sure that the boards went on straight using a board lift (can be a nightmare depending on the angle of the ceiling, lift or no lift). I bought 2 sets of these (my brother/boss also bought a set) several years ago and almost forgot I had them. We couldn't easily use the lift as most of the board had be to cut into smaller than usual pieces and would have been more trouble than was necessary especially at the peak where we would have had to use the mast extension and STLL not be tall enough, they made the work so much easier because they remove the need for requiring a 2nd set of hands as long as the boards are not cut too big for more than one person to handle. I only have 2 issues with them:1. If you screw them on too tight they can cause you to have a small gap in the seam which could cause problems later when finishing. I found that if you screw them on just enough so that they don't spin around freely while you're trying to get a board in place, they won't cause you to have any gaps.2. It wouldn't hurt if they were made just a little thicker because sometimes they look like they're about to break when trying to support 12'x4'x1/2" or, even worse, the weight of 12'x4'x5/8" board. Yeah, it wouldn't be difficult to make some yourself since all it takes is a couple small blocks of wood, but it takes longer screws to put wood blocks up and wood can break after excessive use and longer screws suck. It would be nice if they could be made out of metal, but they would cost more. I think it would be worth it. The plastic ones paid for themselves the first time we used them and we saved a ton of energy which we would have expended faster by fighting with hanging ceiling board by hand (without the lift).P. S.Cable-driven board lifts SUCK. đ

Impossible to put boards up with 2 people without this
Easy to install, very robust saved alot of time and energy, infact without it it would have been nigh on impossible putting up 2.6x1.2m plasterboard sheets
