Sheet goods carrier

don't recall seeing this posted before. Seems pretty efficient, but kinda pricey at $50. I prefer the commercial video - you'll see why. No affiliation, etc.

Wood Magazine reviewed this and a couple of other,less expensive types several months ago.

you could make one out of birch plywood and some rubber inner tube.

Have a friend in our wood club that has one and doesn't like it. I thought it would work nice but after his comments decided against it. He is a wood shop teacher.

I too thought the design sucked ... off the cuff, I would much rather lift, with my arm over the sheet and using the muscles in my shoulder and entire arm to carry the load, instead of what appears to be a load on the wrist.

Then again, I saw it at the last woodworking show, but did not try it ... I could well be missing something.

and you could make the handle so your arm is not over your shoulder,too.

a cam-type handle that grips the panel against a opposite-side fixed piece.

The plastic version I use that hooks under the sheet was $3.

I've got The Troll and it works just fine... especially nice to be able to roll large heavy panels on edge through tight spaces.

I think the commercial, you know, with the young woman, has her lifting 1/2, but who cares!

I have one of those plastic thingies that lifts from the bottom and it is always tough to maneuver. I'd buy one but I think I will pass due to the price.

What a cheesy stereotypical commercial.

If I got one of these my wife would feel that she wasn't needed anymore.
