Gorilla Gripper 44010 Panel Carrier
Are you straining your back, neck, shoulders and hands lifting plywood, drywall and other heavy sheet goods? You don't have to anymore with the Gorilla Gripper! It is an essential new gripping hand tool designed for lifting, carrying and moving a variety of building materials that are large, unwieldy and heavy...such as panels of plywood, particle board, wallboard, melamine, glass, granite, marble and much more, all with surprising ease. Gorilla Gripper handles sheet goods from 3/8 inch to 1 1/8 inch thick. Gorilla Gripper simply slips over the center of the panel you want to carry. When you lift, it grips using the weight of the material to add super strength to your grip. You'll be amazed at how easily you are able to lift the panel. The leverage created by the Gorilla Gripper makes it easy to carry these panels from place to place with increased control and unobstructed field of vision....making these kinds of tasks dramatically less difficult. Gorilla Gripper significantly reduces the stress and potential of injuries to your fingers, wrists and back. It also reduces physical fatigue.

Gorilla Gripper 44010 Panel Carrier Reviews
I have used to carry several sheets of plywood in to my work shop. The Gorilla Gripper I purchased is everthing that I expected.
This makes carrying sheets of plywood very problematic for me. I have used several different carrying methods and products and this is by far the best. I only have one hand to carry plywood because I use a crutch to walk. Try this you will like it a LOT, too. I can carry a sheet of 3/4" plywood by myself, now. This item makes carrying a sheet of plywood or MDF a LOT easier when you are working by yourself.
Key thing to remember is, "Once in the lifted mode, keep it there until you're ready to unload the Gorilla." The Gorilla works like a dream when lifting heavy wooden sheet stock. Final caution is to not allow the bottom of clamped panels to inadvertantly "un-load" from the Gorilla. A bit pricy for what you get, but if you want to avoid trips to the chiropractor due to lifting awkward & heavy sheet stock, this is the tool for you. Just make sure your spacer has a rough surface to avoid slipage. Very thin (< 1/4") won't work due to limits on Gorilla's clamping stroke, but these panels are light anyway. This momentary release can release the clamping action, resulting in a falling panel.
Wish I'd invented it. Gorilla can be used on thin sheet stock by adding a shim/spacer. A well built tool. Works great with heavy wood panels. I'd recommend it to anybody who wants to save their back.
Slick-side panels such as sheet rock can lead to slipage our of the lifter, but use of rough tape such as painters masking tape on the back side (non-visible side of the panel) helps a bit.
