Drywall Panel Hoist,
December 5, 2006
By Kingfish
from New Orleans, LA
"This is an excellent product. Not only can one person hang drywall to the ceiling quickly, it can be used to raise plywood panels for exterior sheathing. Assembly out of the box was completed in less that 10 minutes and the first sheet of drywall was up ten minutes later. From then on it just went faster.
On the first job where it was used we acquired two more clients on the first day just by having visitors to the site watch this product in use."

Drywall/Panel Hoist,
July 20, 2009
By medicareman
from Oak Harbor, WA
"Note: Wanted to rate this 5 Stars, but site would only allow 4 Stars when 5th Star was selected. Then I went back and double-clicked the 5th Star; 3 Stars was then the highest my choice would register. Definitely is a 5 Star product!
My wife and I have (for over 20 years) used a block and tackle for lifting bales of hay into our barn's loft. It's gotten harder on our bodies in recent years. I saw the drywall/panel hoist in your catalog and thought it would be worth trying.
Putting the various parts together was easy, and so was mounting the 3 sub-units in the barn. I laid a piece of plywood (with 2 X 2 supports on its underside to keep it from sliding on the hoist cross-members) on the hoist, then 3 bales of hay on the plywood. Easy cranking of the wheel lifted the bales to the upper level where my wife used a hay hook to easily slide them off the hoist.
After the work was finished, the sub-units were separated and stored together, out-of-the-way, ready for next summer.
The drywall/panel hoist is a tool for a specific use, but, wow . . . it was worth the purchase price."

drywall lift for other uses,
February 24, 2009
By sample
from Otumwa Iowa
"This drywall lift is great. I used it to hoist my 12 and 16 foot sheets of steel on the ceiling of my garage. It worked great. I also used it to hoist and hold my shop lights for installation. I thought of renting one from our local rental outlet, but am sure glad I purchased one instead. It was available when I had the time and I didn't have to worry about taking one back and forth to the rental outlet. It is a great piece to use when you are working alone."

"This lift is well made and assembles fast. It can be disassembled quickly for transport and storage. Works great when handling drywall panels by yourself. A real back saver."

Dry Wall Hoist,
August 11, 2008
By Top2006
from MS
"I have recently started a Handyman Business with experience I have gained throughout my life. With this new business I have replaced ceilings in four residences, two with the hoist. I purchased the Dry Wall/Panel Hoist and received it within a week, and have been able to place and secure the ceiling panels with less helpers and in less than half the time. It dis-assembles and assembles quickly for easier transport yet has the weight to adequately handle what I place on it."

drywall and panel lift,
April 22, 2008
By Lilt
from new jersey
"This lift saves alot of time and effort. 16' panels can be handled with ease. also i found that 12' can be handled solo and sloped ceilings are no problem. the only problem i had with the lift and that includes the extention is that the brake doesn't hold very well with a panel on a slope. this was easily solved with a few shims under the feet or a cleat screwed to the floor .the lift is strong ,the brake works well and the extention is easy to change out."

A helping hand on home rennovation project,
April 22, 2008
By UncleB01
from Portland MI
"I recently purchased a drywall and panel hoist to use in my home rennovation project. I figured it would be handy but had no idea how handy it was. All my buddies are happy because I don't have to call them anymore to help hold up drywall or plywood. I have installed ceilings in my house and pole barn without any assistance from anyone else. Pretty cool tool!"
