JHandles JH-326 Lifting Handles

by JHandles

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

JHandles are ideal for carrying single and double sheets of drywall, oriented strand board, plywood, floor trusses, joists, 2 x 4 wall sections, prefabricated fence panels, tables, and many other hard to handle materials. Just grab on to one of the grips, place the other two grips on the end of the drywall or other material and lift. Let the tool do the gripping and save your fingers. The weight of the drywall will squeeze the grips tight and you are ready to carry cumbersome items with less effort and stress on your hands, arms, and back. JHandles come in a set of two. They are small, lightweight, constructed from a steel frame, painted, and have durable grips. A perfect tool to make the do-it-yourself projects easier and the construction professionals' job smoother.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can you say "DAD", for dumb ass design?, February 20, 2004

I ordered these gems to carry 85 twelve foot sheets about 150 ft. After 5 trips the sleeves started slipping and we had to toss them and carry by hand. The shaft is smooth, so without any adhesive, or scoring of the shaft the sucker just starts slipping, and you can't use them. If you buy them, you better plan on fixing them before you really need them. Man, I was PISSED!

I was using these to carry 8' x 4' drywall. It ended up being more trouble than it was worth. Maybe they would be more useful for different size sheets or other flat materials but both my neighbor and I agree, just get a pair a gloves and skip this product for drywall.

I was at first reluctant to purchase this item, but they seemed to be priced right and I had a gift certificate. I a remodeler and always cringe at the thought of carry around alot of drywall, plywood and other sheeting goods. After using this product just once, I no longer have a doubt in my mind that it was a great pkurchase. A friend and I were carrying 3/4" osb sheets three at a time without any problems. It may take a second or two to orient them the first time, but once you do, they lock in and don't slip. Another nice thing is that you can locate them at any height along the edge of the sheets, so you can get a confortable grip. The handles are confortable, much more than holding on the the sheeting itself and puts your handhold in a much more comfortable position. I believe you may also be able to use them to carry furniture or cabinets, I just haven't tryed yet. I'd recommend these to anyone.
