Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Back saver
I wish I would have had one long ago. As I'm not a contractor anymore, I don't have much call to use this, but even if I never use it again it was well worth the $$ for the 25 sheet I had to hang recently.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works well
I was a little bit skeptical that this tool could actually make it possible for one person to hang drywall on a ceiling, but it does work. We have been working with two people, needed in order to place the drywall sheet on the lift (not necessary if you are very strong) and working with 4x8 sheets. It swivels enought to make it easy to properly place the board, and then holds it tight in place until it can be attached. It is easier to crank than I imagined, although it does take some effort to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Why pay more??? Use this lift.
Hello:

"I kept an eye on all the drywall lifts that came my way. Through planning and watching Ebay and Amazon, I bought the Platinum from Discount Tommy. There are alot of lifts out there, but Platinum is by far the cheapest lifts I've researched and found. It was listed cheaper in January and was $20 more in May 2008. The shipping is high, but that is if you are not out West.

Anyway, it came brand new. I had no problem with shipping, it was not damaged. We'll do business ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pro Grade Drywall Hoist
I purchased this hoist for my husband who is rehabbing houses. We were excited that it was such a good buy but disappointed when we used it. On the first piece of drywall which was a 12 foot piece, the hoist wheel, one of the supports and a caster bent. When we called Discount Tommy they said we could send it back but it weighs 100 lbs. We would end up with a refund of $59.00 after spending about $269 for the purchase and return shipping. I would never have bought this thing had I known. I read other ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not a bad priced tool.
Hey, a few places sell this product or similar. They suck you in with a cheap price and the shipping is high. Well this store had a really cheap price and high shipping, but I knew what I was getting into and the total price of $58 item + $99 shipping was a good overall price.

Harbor freight sell a unit for something like $299 on special!

It's all about price to me - use a few times and it's paid for itself.
