Not gonna lie, I felt a bit ridiculous youtubing how to carry sheetrock. Glad I did. You're the man.

I'm doing this 50 years hanging sheetrock drywall finishing plastic work from New York Long Island the second demonstration is correct except we do not turn our hand backwards let your hands stay the normal way let the sheetrock or the plywood land on the four fingers and allow your arm to go straight down so the bone is carrying the material not the muscle in the forearm nor the bicep muscle in the arm the arm is locked down the hand is closed tight both guys stay on the same side of the plywood or on the sheetrock it'll make it a lot easier we normally carry 12 ft pieces of sheetrock not me anymore cuz I'm 70 years old but it is what it is and it's a great video sir thank you from your friends over here across the pond

My man, I have a pallet of plasterboard dropping on the pavement in fifteen minutes and you've just saved my ass for certain

[travispratt]

Thanks man, I’ve worked as a laborer years ago and carried many sheets but just got asked to return a load of sheetrock so was looking up the “correct” way to do this before tacking it, I think I can manage the old tip and reverse grip,

Legend! Wish I had seen this before dragging 4 sheets of 18mm thick hard plywood into my house. Will try these tips for getting them out the back to be cut part

[mrblauer]

That gripper is amazing. Smart. But you are correct, most of the time you only have your hands. Good tips.

You're a good lad, I'm going to go use my hand reverse grip, I don't have time to wait for the gadgets from Amazon

Thanks a mil. Doing dome diy insulating and plasterboarding in a bedroom. Only trouble it i dont know the correct way to lug stuff about withough potentially causing injury or damage to the goods. Thanks for the tips mate.

If you tip Sheetrock up like that to get a grip you’ll likely break off corners. Try the Troll with wheels for sheet goods and no above the shoulder grip.

Hello. Thanks for the video. Do you think that the gorilla will work on lifting a big plywood (120x240) up stairs, to a floor.. so turning in small spaces, and the sheet beeing in an angled position. With just one hand to control it. Any exsperience to share✌️✌️✌️?

Shifting stuff is always a pain in the ass! Long ladders and a windy day 🤣🤣🤣

[skillerzhd]

My first day carrying 15mm boards, 170 of them, my hands caved in before my back and arms😂 lol hope it gets easier mate as the weeks go on i looked like a right plonker 😅

[GrumpysWorkshop]

I hate carrying 8x4
I see you have the new bandsaw. Its a great bit of kit for the money.
Just realised im not subbed to your channel. Not sure what happened as i subbed ages ago. Subbed again👍

Thanks mate. I'm a 35 year old who just started training with a kitchen and bathroom fitter. Was working with an older experienced guy the other day. Carrying plasterboard from the van and I did it my usual spazzy way. Got the piss ripped right out of me 😂😂
It looks worse when it's a grey haired guy doing it wrong. Just makes you look like a plonker. People would be more understanding if I was a young apprentice.
Next time I'll look like I know what I'm doing, thanks to you. Cheers brother.

[WizsWoodwork]

[JoseOrtiz-nwrk]

Man you youtubers need to put the sound a little up higher next time you up load a video.

[AMindInOverdrive]

The method I prefer: Get someone else to do it LOL
