Roughneck ROU32610 Gorilla Gripper Board Lifter Contractor 10-28mm

This tool is an absolute game changer. I regularly move full sheets of 18mm birch ply and mrmdf on my own, and it was always achievable, but difficult. And I've had my fair share of broken edges because of it. But this tool...I'll be damned if it isn't amongst the most used tools in my workshop. It makes moving sheet goods quick and easy (I've even used it on plasterboard [thats sheetrock to you yankees])

I am a self employed furniture maker and move large sheets on my own all of the time and this tool is perfect for me. The bottom line is I could not do what I do without it. I lift 9mm to 25mm Plywood mainly with this although it is only supposed to go down to 10mm. I easily carry a 10ft x 4ft x 25mm Sheet of MDF on my own using this tool and because of the way it works you are carrying them at a height where you can go through doorways etc which is not possible on your own normally. The other thing is that it is built very well from very strong aluminium and it just feels like a quality piece of kit in your hand. The price nearly put me off as it seemed a bit steep but having used it for a while now I would say it was worth every penny.

This tool is very useful for lifting or carrying heavy thick sheets of board in an upright edge up way. Another size is needed for thinner sheets. The way it works limits the way that the tool can be used. The illustrations on the tool demonstrate this accurately. Accordingly it is not a complete answer to all heavy board handling problems. However, what it does it does very well. It is robustly made and I have no doubt will last for years.

This made moving 8 x 4 sheets of mdf much easier to do by myself but I would imagine they would become more difficult, the more sheets you have to move, as all the strain is taken on the elbow and shoulder. Especially with 18mm upwards.

It's ok. Doesn't grip as well as I expected, but the main problem is the angle that your wrist is at when you use it. Makes heavy boards seem very heavy. I do use it, but not for really heavy boards -26mm venerred MDF full sheets for example.

It’s good alright. Does exactly what it is supposed to. But something like 30mm MDF is incredibly heavy and the gorilla gripper doesn’t make it any lighter!🤣 But yes, fantastic design that does one job really well

So far very good. Hope it last forever (like it says it will) Be warned. Picking up 18mm plywood using this isn’t as easy as it makes out. You still need to be strong.

Great in open space

Articolo indispensabile per chi usa tavole di grandi dimensioni da spostare in brevi spazo senza l'aiuto di altre persone. Ottimo!

Je chercher un outils qui puisse me passer d'une deuxième personne, quand il s'agit de porter des plaques de placo ou des dalles de planchers quand je travaille seul chez moi et je les acheter en espérant que sa fonctionne. Et ce qui et sur c'est que l'essayer c'est l'adopter! j'ai porter 3 palettes de placo avec et en le positionnent comme indiquer sur les vidéos YouTube de la marque, je n'est casser aucune plaques. Bon c'est sur que ce n'est pas un produit miracle, car du coup comme on et seul a porter ont a tout le poids de la plaques mais comme il et bien penser ont ne se fais pas mal au dos, on n’abîme ni la plaque ni le lieu ou on et car comme la plaque et a coté de nous on peut mieux gérer dans les espace confiner et l'un des meilleurs points a été de pouvoir agripper seul des dalles de plancher au premier étage avec cette poignée hyper facilement, c'est bien simple maintenant il reste dans mon utilitaire et je ne m'en sépare plus, tellement j'en suis accro. Le seul bémol que je lui et trouvé, et qu'a la longue le revêtement a l’intérieur qui sert a avoir une meilleur accroche se décoller a force de l'utilise..je les donc enlever, cela ne change en rien, et n’abîme pas plus le matériau. Excellent produit, que je recommande sans problème, principalement a tout ceux du bâtiment ou qui travaille souvent seul.

These come in three sizes the smallest are designed for thinner sheets the largest sheets 32mm think. I bought this (the middle size) because reviews for the smaller size said that they were not strong enough and it broke damaging the the sheet and causing injury to the user. This one seems strong enough and it has not broken. I have tried it on chipboard and that is heavy. It certainly is so much easer than trying to hold a slate sheet in your fingers. It is fantastic on level ground but not much good going up stairs - especially steep ones

Je ne mets que 4 étoiles car sur le principe (même si ça peut se comprendre d'un point de vue technique) je trouve un peu dommage d'avoir besoin de prendre DEUX modèles qui puissent couvrir l'ensemble des épaisseurs de planches...mais bon. Business quand tu nous tiens. Sinon j'ai donc pris ce modèle qui prend les planches les plus épaisses (et qui seront donc les plus lourdes). Biens suivre les explications sinon la planche va glisser / tomber. Si on fait exactement ce qui est préconisé, impossible que la planche ne glisse. Produit bluffant même si vendu quand même super cher. Mais c'était ça ou demander à un pote de venir m'aider !

Si comme moi vous avez des petits bras c'est l'outil qu'il faut. Aucun soucis pour le transport de BA13 fini de se démonter les épaules. Aucun soucis de marquage de plaque. Idem, pour l'atelier c'est mon compagnon les panneaux d'aglo. de 19mm se trimballes sans soucis. L'objet est tous en métal bien costaud.
