Product Description
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.

 One man plywood carrying, worth it... September 2, 2008
Matthew K. Risinger (Austin, TX)
I'm a builder that often visits jobsites alone during the day and this is my favorite new tool! Have you ever tried moving a sheet of $120 cherry plywood by yourself and NOT damaging the veneer? It's now possible. Great tool, a must for your truck box or home workshop if you work with plywood much. Highly Recommend. -Matt Risinger
Gorilla Gripper Panel Lifter August 9, 2008
Barry the Toolman (Roseville, CA)
A well built tool. 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. Works great with heavy wood panels. Very thin (< 1/4") won't work due to limits on Gorilla's clamping stroke, but these panels are light anyway. Gorilla can be used on thin sheet stock by adding a shim/spacer. Just make sure your spacer has a rough surface to avoid slipage. 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. Final caution is to not allow the bottom of clamped panels to inadvertantly "un-load" from the Gorilla. This momentary release can release the clamping action, resulting in a falling panel. 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. I'd recommend it to anybody who wants to save their back. Wish I'd invented it....

Item has a high price for what it is, but it does do what it claims to do.
Just a bit pricey.
no brainer if working alone July 13, 2008
B. Westervelt (Worthington, MA USA)
I was sheathing a roof by myself and needed to bring sheets of plywood up a ladder. hook this thing on and you are good to go. would have been impossible otherwise.
great product June 23, 2008

This is awesome, it enables one person to carry a 4X8 sheet of drywall by themselves, and not hurt themselves.
