I am a painting contractor, not a professional drywall installer. But I can one or two minor drywall jobs a year. Previously I would have to rent to $ 30/day to lift it. The local video store near my office closed, so I was forced to pursue the purchase of a plasterboard to increase. I once saw revoked until a while back, but they all ran about $ 700. Once I found this on Amazon I could not help but skeptical. After reading messages and adding the cost, this is the lowest price of all, so I took a chance and ordered turned out the plasterboard ceiling in my kitchen to stop.
elevator arrived at the time, in a large cardboard box. One or two of plastic bumpers were broke, but they are unimportant. I hung up and hit them with tape and that solved the problem.
So, the lift: It is built strong. The parts all move well, and everything I’ve seen so far, is no less quality than the $ 700 lifts out there. I love this thing. It pays for itself after one week.
If you are afraid of the thin somehting out, you can believe me, it’s well worth the money.

I hung my fair share of dry and used over the years, several models of lifts, most of them much more expensive than this and none of them is not the job better. I recently spent $ [. . . ] / Day with a hoist, which was on its last legs and decided to buy, easy to rent. After research I could not justify spending 10 times (or more) than I put on this. I thought I would try and if it is like a piece of crap I’ll chalk it up to a lesson learned. The hoist on time and how many of the other reviews I have read that look like it was in Iraq and returned as the appearance of the packaging. I do not know if the weight or what, but the field was literally falling apart around the elevator. The hoist itself, however, was not damaged. I got it together in about three minutes with a flathead screwdriver once and got to the point. The hoist works, and all other blocks, including those of the dollar. I laugh when I think about people spending $ [. . . ] For an elevator that is not better than this. Save a lot of money and only receive it. . .

Had seen in other product “catalogs”, but at a much higher price. Amazon price was excellent. Delivery was significant because of their weight, but the total cost is still in the bargain category. Tool is great and everything is promised. Is very well built, but will break into manageable pieces, which a person can handle. Have used for 10 “ceiling and wall applications, and it is a life saver. Average,” a good buy. “

A buddy of mine and I had to about 1500 square feet dry in the first floor of his house and I do not like lifting plasterboard company over the head and that made our work easier, it seemed incredible. After his project, I hang it in the shop light in my shop and made it a one-man job. It is really possible, panels on the ceiling or upper wall hanging with just one person, although it is much easier, and second there is rent to about $ 80-100/day an elevator, it is also worth the money and once it does not break a lot of space. Assembly and disassembly is easy and only takes a minute or so. For the money I would recommend this product.

This product is everything and more than advertised. I am completing a business and should be 8-foot ceilings and 14 foot. This product offers great opportunities for both. It is easy to lift for part of the ceiling and the lift is placed against the rocks of the stringer. I also was impressed by the performance on the wall. I used it for all the rock that was on the first course. Just push it over the wall to raise the hook to the top of the rock bolt in position. Slide the foot of the rocky and narrow and is in place, ready to bolt. My company is 30 x 40 with an upper deck and I do it for me. This machine is simple, effective and a real lifesaver.
