3.0 out of 5 stars Works Well, but don't buy the extensions, May 18, 2002

This review is from: T-Jak TJ-104 Your Hard Working Helper (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am a professional cabinetmaker and I purchased this to help me install cabinets when working alone. I purchased both the Mini-Brut and the large version in addition to the extensions. My complaint is that this is really just metal pipe, some threaded rod and a nifty star nut with some plates top and bottom, all of the parts could be put together from actual supplies that could be had from any hardware store. For this kind of money, you would think that the manufacturers would at least make the parts out of some light weight material. I am not oppossed to paying for someone else's great idea, but when my 12" extension arrived and I realized that it cost me about [money] and that it was literally 12" of cast pipe, and a coupler painted orange that I could have purchased for $3 down the street I was a little miffed.

This product still works great and I will use it almost everyday, but now I realize why they don't sell this thing at retail stores - people would merely replicate it with spare parts after seeing it in person.

I have the complete set of T-Jak tools and use them all the time. The fine adjustment feature allows me to hang cabinets easily. It also works great when installing ceiling plasterboard. With the Mini-Brute and extensions, I can quickly do many difficult jobs.
