This is the best drywall video I've watched. Everytime you talk its valuable information. I learned alot.
Late to the video but honestly the only video of using a lift I've seen where someone actually shows how to use the lift in the middle of the ceiling. Best video for it.
Well done. I have hung 12’ sheets with a second man. But It was 54 years ago.
I want to hang 12-14 sheets in my basement. Renting a lift looks like I could do it myself.
Just bought a lift from HF.
Can't tell ya how much I love this video.
best thing about a lift. It shows up every day. Doesnt have substance problems. I actually use a harbor freight lift. Get about 3-4 years out of one. They are cheaply made, but you can buy 8-9 for what a "good " one costs, and even the good ones break cables, break casters, etc. Dont tell OSHA but I popped the springs out of the safety so it just lays backwards and doesnt catch
Thanks for the demonstration of how to use the lift. Makes it possible for one person to do the "lid."
Finally someone on UA-cam that looks, talks, acts, and most of all hangs like a real drywaller! Rock on bro, we are the unsung hero’s of over insulated crooked framing. Where u guys at? What’s the goin rate per sq ft for hangers there? With electrical filling walls more and more and insulation and RC being over done this ship just don’t pay enough to do it right anymore in Oregon
I like how you incorporated the tips a pro would use.
Great video! I’m a Woman who just bought a house and one room needs new drywall. Thank you!
Learn to subtract, saves your tape as well as time. I hung houses in Missouri for years as big as anything Ive seen you guys do but we have 14s and 16s also. 3 man crew 2 on a bench 1 man on stilts. Hang the lids and top sheets while in there with no trash to trip over. Split up and go to opposite ends of the house and meet in the middle. But we nailed the perimeter and screwed the field. As far as that goes 1 guy can hang a 16 on top wall by himself with top nails. Gives you a use for that high dollar hammer other than a pry bar. But you guys do things your own way, I get it. We were piece workers, never would use a lift too slow. Have a good one.
Easy to follow the video. Good tips. It seems like a decent "homeowner DIY" drywall lift. One of the better and easy to follow videos I've watched. Keep making them.
Good info for the first time users out there.
I like that. I've never used one but plan to get one since I'm now in my 50's and this body has seen its better days. You young bucks can sling it and bang it moving forward.
Cool video James. It’s nice to see some of your tips and tricks. Most of us have hung Sheetrock to some degree, but the what/why/how stuff is cool to see. I’ve learned a great deal from your channel.
Keep up the good work. It’s refreshing to see a guy take care of his crew and a crew that takes care of you. You guys all seem to have good chemistry and work well together.
Tell Smiley and Squanch to keep it up.
Very good tutorial on using a drywall lift and thanks for sharing some of your tips.
Very important like you said have at least 4 or 6 screws set before letting go of the sheet. Had a dude i was working with keep telling me "your good your good, just step back and let go because you're in the way." So i eventually got sick of him arguing, let go and stepped back and the 5/8 sheet fell down and t-peed him. 10 years ago but i still laugh when i think about it
I'm in a situation where I need to replace drywall on a ceiling and this just helped me immensely if I should purchase this, since I'd be doing the task alone. Thank you for the video!
Rent it @ homedepit
brainboy,cudos
Very informative and humble channel. Forever a fan here
I work alone flipping homes and years ago I lifted sheets by hand...what a pain. Got a lift and what a change. It's not just the lifting that's helpful...for me, because I'm no expert, the lift gives me the time to get the sheet into the perfect position. Time to check out of square room, warped joist, wrong length sheet or other problem and easy to bring the sheet down so I can fix the problem.
I use the lift to hang the top sheets on walls too. Also use the lift to get other materials into an attic like insulation.
I’m glad you mentioned the top sides. Wondered if it could do that. I gotta hang 12 ft 5/8ths by myself. Figured I could do the middles ones (11ft ceilings) with the HF hydraulic cart.
Good video James. You should do more reviews and how to videos.
I used one of those by harbor freight and I hanged drywall by myself. It's a good aide as far as lifting 12 footers by yourself. I like it but the cable is little flimsy... But I noticed I had to be extra careful with twisting that wheel (that thing can come Down on your head suddenly, you have hang on to the wheel) .. And the locking mechanism is cheap quality... But once I tacked it with screws I was able to get it done. I did quality work for my disabled cousin. I got her done 👍
Compared to your normal work vlogs this was an excellent video. For anyone that is looking to finish their basement off or do their own diy home improvement it was nice to see some of the tricks of the trade. This lift has earned its keep since you bought it and compared to two other lifts I have used i think they all have a similar design. Watch your head lowering it!!! James, a video on routing out boxes and some of the tricks you have for routing and following the inside or outside of them would be nice to see.
Excellent tool review and demonstration. Enjoyed it.
Awesome speed release James! I just purchased that same lift but I'm quite a bit older than you and not as skilled so I don't think I'll be trying that maneuver ha ha. But thank you so much, very informative. Keep the videos coming
That tape measure scribe trick and the solo lift techniques are fucking dope. Getting into hanging and you have the best videos I've found. Thanks
Good demonstration. You pointed out the good, and the not so good about it.
Solid video, super helpful. Just about to hang some lids with the new (old, just got it from a retiring contractor) lift and this was great to see the whole process. Liked the pro-tip on scribing the sheet cuts instead of using the T-square. Seems like you guys have fun on your crew.. Dig it. I feel slightly more pro now after watching this.
Cool that you included frodo in the end
Thanks for the review, I have about 60 boards on lids in a Reno don't do all the time so I'm gonna buy one instead of killing myself doing by hand, thanks again you do good work brother God bless.
Great help. Novice and hanging 10 ft high with 12 ft sheets.
Ya good description, i had a few issues with that drywall lift. At the time i didn't realize the brake and it was sticking this video clears all the uses of using a drywall lift as well as showing a good way to lift long awkward pieces by yourself. Once constructive criticism i want to mention is you can add about having the metal grabbing feet out when placing the drywall on the lift. And some lifts have locking caster wheels so you can lock the wheels from moving on you to. Great video i learned a few tips from it.
This is a great review brother. Thanks a bunch.
Great video , very informative...
Awesome. Great tip on cutting straight!
That was a very uplifting video...
U doing a great job congratulations
Great video my friend.
Useful and informative.
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Awesome 👌 thanks
Good info thanks
I never hung drywall in my life lol. Just got off work, sat on the couch and ate some edibles. Now im here.
😆 that's how it happens
ha, great stuff, entertaining to watch. I have a lift as well but from princess auto in canada.
great vid. God Bless
Awesome
Thanks! Very helpful!
Excellent video. Harbor freight ought to be giving you a cut.
Awesome! Thanks so much, very helpful!
I just got a Ironton for $139 and the 15' converter for $39 at Northern Tools works great better built then Harbor Freight one.
Great video man!! You probably already made one but what about a video on using a drywall router? I got one have been using it for a couple of years now. I don't hang every day but it still have issues with it sometimes. Different style boxes are the issue with it going hay wire on me. Any tips would be very appreciated!!! Keep up the good work!!
Nice video, instead of paying someone to install my drywall, I will buy a lift and do it myself. :D
Rent it. You only use it one time.
Work for a G.C that does a lot of different forms of construction. We bought one two years ago an its still going strong. One of the few expensive tools I'd recommend.
You are quite wrong about it being an Expensive Tool, it is amortised among its use on many Jobs, Its very Cheap actually, when you calculate the returns once it is paid for one time.
@@carminemurray6624 Totally agree. I think I meant that's it's one of the few expansive (ish) tools from harbor freight I'd recommend. Normally there stuff isn't the best quality.
Nice work guts thank you
Great video, & useful tips. Thanks
That safety lever will slide to the side of the notches and stay there. Once it comes down there’s a lil fork that’ll center the lever back to the holes Incase u forget to slide it back over.
I was about to say that. The directions for this unit was lacking if I recall. You have to figure most of it out yourself.
Good video
Excellent video!
Subscribed, liked, and notified.
Love watching but hate doing it . Story of my life 😩
great job sir
Be careful I have a friend that lost a thumb to a cabel lift cool to see your channel I remember working with you for scs
Ha oh shit yeah. That was a bit ago. Alot of out of town work. I had a good time on those jobs
Good Job, Thanks
This was very helpful thank you !
Good Job 👍

4. What is the maximum work height of this machine?
5. Where to we can buy it?
Thanks 🙏
Excellent !!!!!!!
Love my lift.
I watch your videos to see how you set up your flow and job site. I can hang boards well but I'm a fantastic finisher. I'm just getting into larger full jobs hang and finish. So I appreciate you letting us watch your set up.
Ten years without a lift... Ten years too many.
just now doing a 40 sheet job..8 foot 5/8"...may sound crazy to you but I need 1.00 a foot to hang it and 2.00 a foot to tape and texture...just to make 40 bucks an hour...
Great video, thanks!
great stuff man I used one like it on amazon on my basement! Great work you do! I subbed.
i actually watched your video to know how to take it apart. I've had it assembled for so long I forgot how to take it apart.
Glad it helped! Thanks for the sub. I appreciate it! See you on the next one!
Excelente video
good job
$200 is super cheap for a rig like that compared to what you would have paid 20 or 30 yrs. ago. Not good enough for someone doing this for a living, but fine for your average handy Andy. Thanks James,
Made it look easy.
Bought one of these. Rental place wanted $50 a day...yikes!
Maybe some grease on the pulley wheel?
Hey I just bought one of these,best 200euro I ever spent
Also, if you could explain a Shear wall and how it affects your Sheetrock installations.
Very good, have the unit now know how to use it :-)
Olá amigo! Sou apaixonado com ferramentas americanas .
How much room do you leave on the edges to get a piece in between 2 walls. Let’s say you measure 100, would you cut at 99 1/2”
Bird = whole sheet. Wow. learn something new everyday. How long have you been installing drywall?
you're my idol boos
Bout the same like month ago and Agree with you get better one
if you pull that safety out and slightly off to the side it will stay out so you don't have to hold it. when the lift hits the bottom it clicks back in.
Batman always use a good pair of gloves.......
If the rubber goes out on the brake you can allways use a belt off an car or truck engine. I found that out hanging a 1400 foot addition on a house.
No offense man but I’m just wondering why you pulled your tape 128” as opposed to pulling once at 16”? I broke in the trades as a what we called cubby and you had to learn your “offs”. Same with side of sheet (sido) your don’t pull your tape 37 3/8” and make a mark, you pull your tape once at 10 5/8”……… learn your offs and you will notice you picked up saved half the time. With respect man.
✌✌👍
Nice tut
By the time he is done setting up the lift, we could have at least 10 sheets on already
Doubt it.
Talk is cheap
@@thomassabino5440 while you guys doubt and talk, there goes another 5 sheets...
Grade A plus
Which is your area of work. South east US we can’t cover the ceiling without insulation. Great tutorial 👍
Really nice video Bro...👌
If you will release the lock on the mast and then pull it over to the side it will stay locked out and you will not have to put you leg against the cranking wheel...
Does it only work for drywall? I have a plywood wood panel that has 1.5 x 3 inch edges. Does it work for that?
You can use it for any panel really. Given it doesn't exceed the weight limit
@@NomadicINK Thanks. I have been trying to do some similar. Just another panel. Think it helps.
Question. If you didn't have that lift would you have cut it in half. Or do they not let you. Or if your one guy can you cut it in half and put it or does the hole sheet have to be put up like you did ?
Thankz
Great Video. Its useful for my decision to hire one. Thanks.
I really like how you made the video. I've been researching drywall lifts and want to buy a really good one. Do you know what name brands I should be looking for?
Thank you sir
Why dont you put in all your screws while your there so you dont have to come back.
I'm using that same drywall lift for solar panels. I have the same concerns and more about the design. Have you found a better one?
What type of stand is that and where can you get it
Do you have any issues with the cable?
Nice video Fam
Can this lift be tilted to do cathedral ceilings ? How tall of a wall can you use this for ?
