5.0 out of 5 stars There no better way to hang drywall., November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Telpro Inc. PANELLIFT PanelLift Drywall Lifter (Tools & Home Improvement)

With this piece of equipment, a person can literally have their own business handing drywall. You can reach ANY ceiling up to 11' and even higher if you get the extensions. That covers almost all residential type construction. The coolest part of this tool is that it folds up small enough in less than a minute to fit in the back seat of an extened cab pick-up. This is a very well built piece of equipment. I know a guy who's had one for over 20 years and it still works great. If you work alone or with a small crew this is the ONLY way to hang drywall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transparency may preclude purchase!, July 30, 2002

Having owned a Telpro Panel Lift for nearly 10 years, I must admit that I can find only one defect.

The lift has paid for itself a hundred times over without fail. It is still like new, having raised thousands of sheets of drywall to new heights, saved my back, arms, and neck from the punishing work of supporting weight in a way that the human body certainly has not evolved to function.

Anyone purchasing this unit will be pleased! Though we did not acquire the extension lift, we did fashion a very reliable one from a 4x4 and steel rod. It will really help the diy, especially for one-man hanging. It is also indispensable for the pro. It's like having 4 more hands with only a one-time expense.

My only qualm.....well...I wish it was transparent. It still sees much use in the off-season since neighbors and friends constantly borrow it.

Don't let that defect stop you from purchasing this unit. You never know, you just may make new friendships!

5.0 out of 5 stars This ones for real, June 19, 2000

I am currently acting as my own general contractor for the construction of my home. Along with the plumbing ,electrical and heating and air I decided hanging drywall would be a good place to trim off some labor cost. There is no way I could have done it by myself without this product. I have also used it to install 6 large (80"x36") fixed glass windows that would have been impossible without it.
