Great for installing upper cabinets, crown molding, and window coverings. 3rd Hand supports drywall, plastic barriers, ceiling panels, and light fixtures.

1 out of 5 stars Poor Design   January 1, 2009
R. Chilton (MN, USA)
If you have cabinets which are less than 5', the tool is useless as the majority of upper cabinets start at 54".


1 out of 5 stars Way, way way over rated!   December 29, 2008
J. Clark (Fall River, MA United States)
I purchased the third hand based on the 5star reviews. I must have a different standard for evaluating a useful tool because this one just doesn't cut it. It's heavy and awkward, plus you need a step ladder and a a third hand to use it. It's cheap, but so what if it's hard to use and it's going to end up in the "useless tools" corner of the shop. I didn't use it for cabinets so maybe it's ok for that. To erect a dust barrier and for crown molding The Third Hand is not a 5star tool.


5 out of 5 stars Some different uses for a great tool!   December 2, 2008
J. P. Glass (Tacoma WA United States)
Well, I have had a set of these for almost a year now and I don't know how I got along without them! Like most reviewers, I think they are a great product for the money, especially if you buy them in the two-pack. I have come up with a couple of new uses other than what most people are using them for and they work great. I have used them countless times as a horizontal load stabilizer in my box van and in the garage. You just place them sideways, push them against the box or supplies you are trying to stabilize from sliding around and give a couple of pumps on the handle, and Viola, instant stabilizer. This trick doesn't work on a standard size truck or mini-van as the bars are a little too long, but for those of you with a cargo/box van they work great. Having realized there might be other horizontal applications for these babies I started to think about tasks I have done around the house/job sites and realized they are great for unreeling electrical cable such as low voltage wiring or structured wiring where you have multiple cables and need a convienient way to unspool the cable all at once. I just pop the footpad off one end, slide on the spools of wire and then after placing the footpad back on, place them between two adjacent walls. You can't load them up with multiple spools of Romex, but for speaker, cat 5, and other low voltage stuff it works great.


5 out of 5 stars FastCap 3rd Hand Support System 57-to-144-Inches,   September 29, 2008
Cynthia Hembree (Washington State)
My husband and I saw this nifty setup,FastCap 3rd Hand Support System 57-to-144-Inches, on the home improvement program "Cool Tools" and indeed they are. We used two of them them to support heavy pieces of ceiling drywall when we were doing a recent kitchen remodel.We both have shoulder problems and these allowed us to put in the drywall screws without either one of us standing there trying to hold up the sheet of drywall at the same time. We also used them to hold up the ends of plastic sheeting when it came time to block of the room for sanding. We may use them again when we install the upper cabinets. Great tool, glad we bought them!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent for holding sheet rock in place   August 10, 2008
Cristine Campbell (Citrus Heights, CA)
I love the 3rd hands. I used them to hold ceiling sheet rock in place while I screwed it in place. I'll have plenty of uses for my 3rd hands in the future.
