Very awkward for ceilings, great for cabinets
By M. Kelly
Purchased this to hang drywall on ceilings as advertised. The cleats are rudimentary and the 400lb capacity Jak is way overkill for a sheet of drywall. The real problem is lifting one edge of drywall over your head to a height of 8' (bending, cracking, difficult to position in tight spots), inserting the edge under the cleats, reaching for the T-Jak and adjusting the sliding nut to a height that will support the other edge of drywall. The instructions are completely inadequate - no tips or hints on making this awkward process safer or easier. Three sheets came crashing down around me before I could get them positioned.The T-Jak is just great for hanging cabinets. The adjusting nut means you can dial in cabinet height exactly. If you hang cabinets often, this is the tool.I'm a home repair professional. If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase the 3rd Hand as a more versatile addition to my business.

Work alone? Get this tool!
By Sirwriter
I work alone and put up a lot of cabinets. I use ledger boards for the wall cabinets, but for years have balanced them up on that little board, holding the cabinet with one hand and driving a screw with the other.Sometimes there's that heavy microwave that installs over a range and vents to the outside. Those are a bear, and I dread a job with one, but you have to take the good with the bad.When I saw the ad for this tool, I gambled and ordered the one with the extension for ceiling sheetrock, just in case.When it came in, I was a bit skeptical. It was heavy steel, and the threads and collar worked fine, but I have to see it to believe it. The very first cabinet I ran up the wall made a believer in me. You can balance a cabinet with the T-Jak so that both hands are free.It made short work of that installation. And yep, sure enough, there was that heavy microwave. I sat it on that T-Jak and ran it right up to where the back lip slipped in the groove, and screwed it from inside the above cabinet with no strain at all.This T-Jak stays in the truck now. I've used it for all sorts of things that used to make my back and arms ache the next day. This is the best innovation I've come across in 20 years!

Somewhat useful
By A Customer
I used this (and a friend) to help hang a drywall on the ceiling of my basement. While the tool made the job much easier it still was difficult to get the jack into place to hold the board. In the end I ended up renting a drywall lift for a week for about the same price as this tool and got the job done in one weekend by myself. It would have take 2-3 times as long with a helper just using the jack. If you are working alone hanging drywall and care about time, skip this and just rent a drywall lift from a local rental store. You won't ever regret the decision.
