Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pentagon Tool "Lazy Lifter" Professional 11Ft Drywall Lift Hoist
Customer Review: A tool that makes a tough job easy
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first time hanging drywall . I thought about making T braces with 2x4s and have my wife help me . Hanging 5/8 drywall overhead like that probably would have ended horribly . With this tool she helped me load the drywall and then I could send her away . It was very easy to lift and position the pieces provided you measured correctly ( who,me?) and put them in place . No arguments with the wife or broken drywall . It was easy enough I even taught her how to use it . For the do it yourselfer this is a must have for this type of work . I was thinking of selling it after I'm done but maybe not .Pro Grade Drywall Panel Lift - Hoist 11'-Ceiling 15'-Wall - One-Person Panel ApplicationCustomer Review: Great Value!
Summary: 4 Stars
I looked at renting a lift for drywalling my garage and installing log rafters in my cabin. When I found this, I was thrilled that I could own one for about the same price it would cost me to rent for multiple weekends. Even if it didn't live up to it's ratings, I wouldn't be out much more. After using this for a number of projects, I have to say this is one of the best values I have found. I used this on 12 foot sheets of drywall without problems. The construction is good and it works as advertised. It's easy to assemble and break down for storage, plus I own it! I don't know how they can manufacture and distribute this for the selling price, but I sure am glad I bought one.Customer Review: Nice tool!

I have 2 ceilings I am going to have to do by myself. I checked into renting one, but I had this tool paid for in just a little over 3 days worth of rental. I could pay someone to help me, but that also is expensive. I have yet to use this tool, but I can see a ton of help in it. I've worked in auto body repair and tool and die for most of my adulthood. I'm looking with great anticipation in working with it. It puts a smile on my face. It will make a very difficult job a whole lot easier. It works as it is supposed to(it goes up and down smoothly, the brake works well, the casters roll and rotate well, etc.). I'm very satisfied with my purchase.Customer Review: Drywall Hoist
Summary: 4 Stars
After an initial mixup with shipping, I finally received the product. Upon using the item, I find it very useful and worth the purchase/shipping costs. The product works as advertised and is a "life saver" when attaching drywall to the ceiling. The only criticism I would have is that the "brake" for the crank to lift the drywall hangs up and has to be constantly adjusted to allow the lift to work properly. I don't know if it was damaged in shipment, or just has a habit of hanging up on the housing, but it is not a deal killer and with a little practice is easy to compensate for. Overall, very satisfied.Customer Review: Wobbly piece of junk!
Summary: 1 Stars
I didn't really expect this machine to be amazing....it is only $75.00, but I also didn't expect it to break after one day. While holding a piece of drywall up to my ceiling, the machine's brake broke, and the drywall came crashing down. The cheap welding on the brake broke and there was no quick fix. On top of that, I was disappointed about the breaking mechanism and how wobbly this machine was...If you are looking for high quality then keep looking, if you want a cheap machine for a one time job then this may be ok for you...just don't stand under the drywall while it is in the air.
