Stanley 93 301 14 Inch Yellow Panel Carry Handle

Customer Reviews

Like having a helper.

This simple panel carrier is great. I am using it to move interior doors and it gives me excellent control and is like having a helper. For the low price, this is a bargain tool.

I use it frequently

I use this to move drywall and plywood when I have to move it any distance by myself. The handle is angled away from the face of the sheet, is comfortable, and just the right length, leaving your other hand free to balance the top edge of the sheet. I'd give it 5 stars if Stanley improved a few things just a bit: First, if they reduced the front-to-back depth of the bottom just bit and made the retention lip a bit higher, the sheet would feel a little more secure (it's not worth carrying more than 2 sheets anyway, as it becomes too hard to balance). Second, if it could freestand a little more securely, it would be that much easier to get a sheet on the thing. It's a pain in the neck when it falls over. In spite of all that, it's still the sheet carrier I reach for most often. Cheap, strong, and reliable. Bright yellow makes it hard to lose, too.

Handy for the price.

it is worth every penny. helped me carry 50 sheets of 1/2 inch drywall into the basment by myself. I couldnt have done it with out this. panels slip a little if not held tightly but overcame with addition of 2 side tape and piece of 280 grit sandpaper.

Drywall Carrier

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. At first he wasn't quit sure what it was. After I explained it to him he agreed that it is a wonderful idea and can't wait for the chance to use it.

Takes a load off

... Able to do a lot more work with a lot less effort. Sure, you can just grip the plywood from the top, or hold one hand high and one low, resting the board or sheetrock on your shoulder, but it's energy that can be best spent elsewhere.
... A handy person can slap a helpful aid together themselves, but it's $6 well spent.

A must have....but with one mod

Agreed, this is a must have for moving big flat panels. I know of several guys having ripped their biceps carrying plywood the conventional method, by hand. I bought this not wanting to suffer injury the same way and after 40 sheets of ply and 40 sheets of sheetrock I am glad I did.

One word of warning, and the reason I dropped a star rating, if carrying panels up stairs be careful as the panels, especially plywood, tend to slide. I used double faced tape to apply an old sanding belt which provided plenty of friction to prevent sliding. Aside from that, buy this thing and save yourself from possible injury.

Did the job

My husband and I work in remodeling & sometimes there's not always a second set of hands around to carry sheetrock. Though a bit awkward, this makes it possible for us to carry sheetrock from point A to point B without relying on another person. As a woman, I found it easy enough to use.

Handy Helper

Provides just enough length for grabbing the bottom of a 4'x8' sheet (in lieu of longer arms) so one person can carry it. Sturdy enough to lift 3/4" 7-ply birch plywood (pretty heavy). It's made of heavy duty plastic, so it doesn't add a lot of weight to what you're lifting.

$6.70 for solo drywall replacement

There's one thing that I have learned from property flipper shows is that the contractors will often destroy kitchen cabinets and bathtubs when the owner is absent. I can't afford new cabinets or tub or toilet so I will be replacing my bathroom walls with new greenboard on my own.
