I have seen these home made with wood but here is a set that is ready to go and is a real time saver. Installing crown with these is much easier faster and more accurate as this product holds the moulding right up to the cieling wall joint and allows you to position the crown just right even 16foot long sections..

I was able to put up all the crown by myself with this item, but it doesn't slide up or down as much as I would like since there are larger crown moldings availble than the typical size (4''-5'')that this would work well with. Be wary that it is cumbersome to use this product when you are using multi-layered crown at a section. That means that you are combining several different pieces to create your crown. Also, when you have to adjust your crown while hanging on the hangers, many many times the crown hanger would fall off the nail and that means you have to figure out how to take the crown back down and retrieve/rehang your hanger again. That was a major pain!

Was just what I needed to do the project by myself did what it was supposed to. I was happy to have purchased the hangers, and will be using them again

I'm a perfectionist and this tool helped out quite a bit to do crown molding as a soloist. They work beautifully. Just two things... Use roofing nails (with the big heads) so that it doesn't fall off easliy. And don't hang these thingies too close to the corners because they are somewhat thick on the back; it holds the molding off the wall about a 1/4 inch. That's my only complaint, but at least that thickness makes them sturdy and not easy to break when I throw them in my toolbox. I recommend them if you do crown by yourself. They also are useful for holding my tape measure up!

I purchased crown from a local lumber supplier that sells everything in 16' lengths, this is good for fewer joints in the crown. Creating interim scarf joints complicates the install and runs the risk of having visual issues. On the other hand 16' pieces of crown are quite unwieldy and I would put out there impossible to install by yourself. Enter crown hangers. Sure you could probably come up with a jig yourself, but these are cheap, adjustable, and the screw/nail you need to hold them up remains hidden behind the finished crown piece. Two of these was all i needed to install my crown and I highly recommend getting a set to help you out. By the way coping your joints is the way to go, especially in an older house. If you don't know what I mean go check out the fine home building website and/or by a trim book. I have also reviewed a bosch 18 Ga nailer on here and it excelled at this install task.

Very easy to use and solid made.worth every penny that you will spend to hang the long crown boards without a help.If your a ONE MAN SHOW like me,dont wait a second cuz there is no way to work without.

I boutht this for my partner who is doing the crown moulding in our house. It worked great and I only had to help a little bit and he was so much happier. They worked just the way the describtion said it would not flaws. Easy to use, good product.
