FastCap3-HUPPERHAND Upper 3rd Hand Support Poles System 2-Pack Kit

I like it every day use it and works perfect

What can I say FastCap is one, if not only supplier of this size adjustable tension support bar, so if they chose to cut corners in manufacturing does it really matter since no one else is making these types of things, and demand is rather low and very specific. The pros of this Item is that the over all tensioning and metal body support is strong and functions correctly. The convenient carry bag is real nice and keeps everything organized in one place. The down side is the two finger clip release to extend the fixed tube is impossible to use, it requires way to much finger and hand strength to even dislodge the pins than combined with the extra effort, that one must somehow use your other hand to pull the tube outward from pins. I quickly decided, after many futile attempts that prying the pin clips out and discarding was the safer solution , I substituted a simple push in ball type clevis pin. Next , and even more troublesome are the plastic stamped foot pads , that do not fit one side of the tube with out hammering in to place , have no flexible articulating feature to them , and if one breaks them either by trying to dis assemble or take apart so they fit back into the bag or through unusual uses that this might be used especially in construction which is after all what this item is pictured as being used in . One is either having to buy more of these poorly designed pads or come up with a better home made design of ones own. I bought this as a used model and can only assume that they previous purchaser , gave up on this item in complete frustration and dis belief that such a nicely designed item like this could have such oddly severe design flaws in the ability to actually be able to use this thing in a user friendly way.

No longer need a helper for when I’m installing cabinets. My old cabinet jack didn’t work as well at all. You’d have to use to hands to get it the length you wanted and crank it like a ratchet strap. This one is perfect, simply squeeze the handle and it pumps up but doesn’t release back down unless activated. Great length and very sturdy. Must have for any kitchen installers.

My recommendation, redesign to include reverse lever, if you lift too much you can't return a little bit, you need remove the lock and will be a possible disaster.

I loved the fact that I was able to use this to hang a 50 pound mirror on the wall by myself. I also used it to attach my extremely heavy headboard to the studs in the wall since it couldn’t be attached to the frame. I look forward to using it again to hang up more things around the house. The video shows how one person can hang and install cabinets with only one person. It metaphorically gives you more hands so you won’t need another person to help. It’s worth every penny and saves me money so I don’t have to hire someone to help install things.
