The Troll is a great little tool to have if you are doing drywall work. I have had it for a week or two and the paint has worn off it a couple of spots. I have my other hand free for carrying something else or whatever.
I haven't tried it outside but it's not really meant for that. It would be nice if they could add an adjustable handle to this or make a version for a few bucks more with it. The wheels rolls great on smooth surfaces.
The handle is just the right length for me carrying like this but may not work for someone with shorter arms. It's great that you can roll or lift. When working with drywall I put it on the opposite side of me so that I can just lift with one hand and have the drywall sheet tucked up in my armpit.
The only gripe I have is minor - the paint isn't the best. They should use powdercoat and it would be perfect.
I should have had this yrs ago. Makes handleing sheets really easy inside houses on smooth floors
This takes most of the work out of lugging those 4x8 panels and solid core doors by yourself. That vertical piece just supports the load and is used to keep it centered and balanced. And it makes it smaller to carry around and to keep in your truck. But it really does the job on level surfaces. Worth it. Those complaining about the short handle don't understand the way this is supposed to be used. Doesn't work going upstairs, of course. Three feet long is just the right length for a 4 foot panel.
You steer by holding the door or panel, not by using the handle. The handle is just for carring it around by itself. You could probably make one of these but spend the same amount on the materials alone. Get one.
This sturdy little device allowed me to manipulate the drywall from the main stack (which was placed inside the house by Cemex) to each sheet's place on the walls. I am building my own house (mostly alone). The ceilings are just short of 10 feet so I am using 4'x10' sheets of drywall, which weigh about 64 lbs. It saved me much physical stress and minimized the bodily contortions necessary to get them in place. I believe it would be as useful with any drywall from 8 to 16 feet long.
Telpro Troll 300-Pound Capacity Panel Handler #TROLLThe best low tec tool for sheet moving. If you are working alone on a project it is the most useful tool( next to a lift) that you can have on hand. Imagine handlng a full sheet of 1/2" or 5/8" drywall w/o bending over & w/o lifting it. Your back will thank you for it.
