FastCap 3-H UPPERHAND Upper Hand 28" - 60" 3rd Hand Support Pole, 1-Pack

I purchased two of these, to use while installing upper cabinets. I read a few negative reviews on here, and just wanted to say, that I didn't have any of the issues, that were described in those comments. They worked as described, sure, they were a little tight right out of the box. But with minimal effort, and a little back and forth, they move smoothly and freely. I would recommend these to anyone, looking for a solid, extra hand. I know they say up to 150 lbs, but they held my weight, 179, without any slippage. FastCap makes quality products, across the board, and these are no different.

There are certain ways to install cabinets to get exact spacing like some designs. This tool allows that to happen in an easy and convenient way. This saves time when installing cabinets. I use it from the floor, and sometimes use it inside base cabinets. Will not adjust to refrigerator height, I use a 5 gallon bucket or Milwaukie packout for extra 2 feet of height. But still 5 stars all day long! For single cabinet installers this is a must have! Will save you hours over a week period. Do not buy the cheap versions of this tool. They do not have the strength or durability as this does. Very well made! 5 stars!

I had to install cabinets and wanted to do it by myself. Help is nice but I knew most of this was going to be done during random times when I have a spare 30 minutes to get a box on the wall. Once you mark your line on the wall and install a ledger board this tool holds up the other end. I got all my cabinets installed and square without another person having to come help me out. This was easy to use and easy to get to the correct height. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

Overall these lifts are pretty good. The issue is getting them down after you have something heavy on them. If you are hanging something that doesn't have to be lowered, such as cabinets, they are ideal. We used them for a heavy countertop and it was a little tricky lowering it down. A slow release would make this produce perfect. You do need to purchase a few because they are not designed for heavy material, but when used in tandem they can get under something heavy and lift it. We bought 5 and did fine. We did not encounter any defects as some other reviews have stated, but once the lift starts to click you don't want to push them any further. Add a second lift rather than overextend them. They can handle about 100-150 lbs, but I would lean towards less and make sure you have the caps on tight and that the weight is seated squarely in the middle during a lift.

I could not have done my upper kitchen cabinets and mount my microwave without this tool. Held everything in place while I leveled and secured to the wall. Also used to raise a portion of the patio cover to repair, and used it to hold in place wood blocks I was securing to the wall and didn't have anyone to hold for me. Great tool. Not sure why people whined about being wabbly as under load it was rock solid. Took it apart and put in original box so I can pull it out good as new when needed again in the future. Highly recommend if you are doing jobs by yourself.

This tool is a life saver! Helped us install two cabinets above washer and dryer with ease!!!! Love it! 5 stars!

I hung all these cabinets in my basement using this great jack. I only needed one jack, even for the 30 inch wide cabinets. It held securely and I had no problems. I couldn’t have done the job without it.

The cabinet lift works well. It does hold a cabinet in place. I think the cabinet lift plate which a cabinet sits on is too small however. Another pair of hands is usually needed to be certain the cabinets did not fall off the plate until it is screwed into a stud because of the plate's smallness. I wish I had purchased the tallest cabinet lift because the medium height one proved to be too short. I had to put boards on it the to bring the cabinets up to the needed height.

For putting up cabinetry there’s nothing better. 1 person can install with confidence. Ease of use, quality of product, stability and great results just a few features.

Lo único q he encontrado en más de dos años de uso de otros soportes es que el plástico se pandea un poco. Pero en general para instalar o soportar cosas son perfectos.

me sorprendio este articulo, muy util, buen material

Love these 3rd hands. FastCap is top quality and I recommend this purchase.

Support for a temporary post on a deck, I was truly impressed with the strength of this little post.
