Finally...a safe, easy way to grip, lift, and carry drywall, Plywood and other cumbersome sheet goods!
I have tried a great many devices designed to make it easier to carry sheet goods like plywood, drywall, MDF, or particle board, and while some were definitely better than others, none of them measured up to this innovative carrier. Most carriers require the user to stoop down, slip the carrier under the sheet goods, them stand up without pulling one’s arm out of the socket. The Gorilla Gripper grabs the sheet material from the edge and automatically clamps tight as the sheet is raised. Once you try it, you’ll quickly find other uses for the Gorilla Gripper. For example, pulling plywood out of a vertical storage rack, or lifting sheathing into position on a roof. I find that sheets are much easier to carry with the load pushing down on my palm, through the padded grip, than when the load is trying to tear my fingers off the grip of more conventional sheet carriers. The patented Gorilla Gripper has a 3/8” to 1-1/8” capacity, and is made in the USA of aircraft grade aluminum.

      Comments about Gorilla Gripper:

      This is the only plywood carrier you'll ever need to own. I can now manhandle large sheet goods that used to be cumbersome and back breaking. I'll never think about picking up another sheet of plywood without it. Somewhat pricey but worth ever penny. No complaints at all.

                bought this gripper as a gift for my brother, he does lots of projects by himself. i did, however try it out prior to giving. Loved it. helps greatly with otherwise large, cumbersome items. now i'll have to get one for myself.
