This Plasterboard Lifter Is A GAMECHANGER...

[@jamesp739]

Agreed, a great piece of kit. The job goes faster, safer, and with less fatigue at the end of the day. And being a DIYer, you're more likely to bring the board down and trim it if it doesn't quite fit, than force the board into place, breaking a corner or edge. Lifts are currently running about $200 + -(US) (2024) depending on where you buy it and if you can get it on sale. If you need it for only one job, sell it for about 80% of what you paid for it. Cheaper than renting one. If you can find one used, you can sell it for what you paid for it. No real excuse for not using a lift unless you're doing a small closet or a very narrow hallway. Cheers from America!

Had one of these about 10 years, still going strong. Great purchase. Extra tip, you can use to hold up your head plate for stud walls as well. 👌

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Ohh that's a good tip - cheers pal. Hope you're well my friend!

[@stevengordon2145]

Changed the game for me in 98 bud..been using one ever since. Glad to see ya jumped on the bandwagon... Work smarter not harder 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Legend! Fair play mate - I think they are mint...even if I am late to the party ha! Thanks for watching pal. All the best to you

[@patrickshaw9376]

I got one of these about 3 years ago, it's saved me thousands in labour.

[@nigelsmith1198]

Best bit of kit I ever bought.!

[@Two_Bluebirds]

This is terrific information! Thank you so much from Australia. I will pray for you and your family! God bless you.

[@katabrontes]

We bought one in France after struggling to board a sloping ceiling. We've done several ceilings since very easily and i can do it alone with part boards as i find full boards a bit heavy on my own. I also used it to fit narrow boards (300mm) between joists. It needed a small mod by screwing blocks onto the arms to lift the boards about 120mm above the arms so they lifted flush to the ceiling between the joists.

[@HSilver341]

Had 1 since 2020 a must for boarding

[@waynepreston5]

Thank you for your expertise and time 5:26

[@lestercranmer2631]

Yes they are brilliant, i have one, just need to have a clear floor, i think i paid about £90 a few years ago, so they've gone up a bit but still worth it,

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

That's a great indicator of the rate of inflation at the moment ha!

Does the wheel base need to be in that sort of triangle shape at all time when using it, or can you adjust the change how they're positioned and it still be safe to use?

[@OilBaron100]

Wow, so cheap! That job looks so easy with that tool.

[@Charlie-zb6le]

I know its to do ceilings solo, but is this quicker then having 2 people doing it? looks slow tryna get it into posistion perfectly.

[@allenr265]

What if you want to install your plaster board vertically instead of horizontal on a inclined ceiling is it possible? Thanks mate😊👍

[@MrOwaisk]

I need to build a pergola. I bought 4 x 4 pergola kit from Amazon. Now, I have to lift 12 ft long 4 x 4 all alone. Could you please tell me if this can do the job? Appreciate it in advance

[@davewright9312]

Used one of these recently on a ceiling in an old farmhouse...the ceiling was just over 10ft 6 high and we ended up reboarding between the beams.totally agree it's a game changer..we hired one for a week for about £60...only problem I had was I tripped over one of the legs and had a massive bruise on my knee 😂

[@BODGE71]

I can't see the link where you bought it from!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It's there now pal!

[@lsimat1]

Great tool honest yes game changer for sure

[@willswoodshop]

How simple is it to break down after a job and pack up in the van?

[@pegheadproductions]

What if you’re in the attic and the ceiling has a 30 degree inclination?

[@paulwatson4167]

I've had one since 2014 just keep a check on the nuts and bolts they do work loose. I wouldn't be without my one

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks for the heads up. Cheers matey!

[@markishios]

creo que es bueno empezar con el cielo luego dejar al final las paredes ,pero esas maquinas son muy util ,evitas lesiones generalmente de lumbago

[@elliejake11]

I bought one for £60 second hand, from a couple that done a self build in lockdown, pukka if the joist run out, saves holding it up to mark

[@djhago3123]

Sometimes the little bar that reel slides out on bends just screw 2 bits of 2x1 to eachother threw the slot just to strengthen it up..

[@ranat5526]

Picked the same one up on amazon for £119!

[@sominmystery6121]

How long does it take to assemble? How long does it take to disassemble? Is it easy to disassemble?

[@davewright9312]

The one I hired took two mins to assemble and disassemble...absolute piece of cake.. Fits in the back of a car too

[@SamM-oh2cx]

The problem in the clip was the clips on the board lifter! You had loaded the board on, laid it back and raised it to the ceiling without pulling the load clips back!

[@liamdraper447]

Got one and it’s amazing! I find that the reel bar likes to bend sometimes tho. And when ya pull the release lever, keep another hand on the wheel otherwise it might bonk ya, learned that the hard way xP do you ever use a T square for cutting the board?

[@Farmstock24v]

Max height for this?

[@paulknight8254]

Have you located the stem to the base correctly.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Yeah - it was in nicely pal.

[@markjarvis9780]

Had one of these a few years now. Everyone takes the P*ss out of me using it but saves me a lot of messing about I find. Especially working on my own

[@billyt9921]

I bought a yellow one last summer for 4m meter ceiling. The cable snapped on the 2nd board...... gutted, cos it would have been great

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Christ that sounds awful - sorry to hear that. I would have asked for a refund!

[@cloudyeastside]

I got one 7 years ago to re board ceilings in my house.. it was £99, the cost of renting one for a week was the same, you do the math…

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I feel it's a no brainer ha!

[@Bibg867]

I bought a lifter that is assembled and disassembled in 3 mins without any tools. Lightweight and easy to store in my van/garage

[@yellownev]

We’ve just overboarded every ceiling bar 1 in my lads house and it was a very useful piece of kit…. He’ll sell it on I guess so the cost against hiring is a no brainier. Why struggle !

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Exactly that mate. I've struggled enough in the past

[@paul_my_plumbs_uk]

👍🏿👍🏿 Blaine it got you in the corner 😂😂 but come out fighting 🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

hahah that's the one matey 🤣

[@durisrob]

is this a good piece of kit?

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It's mint mate

[@kendodd8734]

That’s gotta b easier than trying to pull deadmen prop under the board with one hand whilst trying to balance the board with the other hand to b honest if ur on ur own doing lids I always go for 6 by 3 boards just much more manageable

[@christophersmith5606]

Great for big areas , if you’ve got a clear floor

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Absolutely!!

Oh yes, that makes a lot of sense if you do board-orientated work anything more than occasionally... Unless you get paid by the hour!

[@sikandermahmood8308]

Very good lift I'm using one like this very easy to lift up plasterboard and hold up

[@barnie8282]

Wish I hired one of these. Those pink fibreboards are heavy as hell especially when your a 5'5 short arse😂

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Definitely mate. They are heavy as. And I feel for you - I'm a short arse too so I know the pain 🤣

[@JBR887]

Only £136 today, Black Friday deal.

[@inh415]

Think how slow this is would wind me up. Unless you physically can't lift a board above your head I can't see how this is better than a couple T props made from 2x4's. Though I guess this thing would be better for really high ceilings.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I just don't like using props on my own. it kills me ha! But I rarely do plaster boarding so it's probably my lack of technique ha.

[@michaelyouens6133]

100mm club that son

[@Scott-wz4sc]

Looks very cumbersome, and then there's the extra labour in dismantling it to remove it from the customers house without scuffing their anaglypta 😂. Then you have to store the thing when not using it! Its an awful bit of junk, suited for DIY'ers at best.May come in usefull on a large site. But in an occupied house! I don't think so. Oh and hope you corrected your mistake at 5.20 😂. Missed a trick there, you could of done a video on how to patch up PB when no joists are available to fix to 😊

[@jaimewilson1011]

Ok on your own but time consuming I would emagine

[@GG-un1ug]

Not convenient bad and challenging for small space still u must lift the drywall at least 4 feet off the ground and place it over this gizmo not worth the money and time its 80 pound's to move it around needs very much improvement and felexbilty to be added to product so two ppl can do better job in shorter time

[@theunvaccinator]

packing and unpacking its not going to replace 2 men only slow job down

[@Robyerto-mb4wk]

Chino total 👎👎👎

[@peterstanley5991]

What a waste of time been boarding for 50 years use a couple of nails in the right spots and it’s up . But I am not telling you how.
