## Questions & Answers

**Q: where are these made?**
A: CHINA

**Q: Why didn't they come with instuctions? There are great pictures on Amazon but then they are just in a plastic bag when they arrive.**
A: They just screw into a joists in the ceiling with the taper up, then you can slide the drywall over the taper. Hold the other side with one hand and you can screw the drywall up. They are a help when you work alone but nothing great.

**Q: Can you use this to install plywood?**
A: It will work on all sizes of plywood.  But you do have to put a piece of ply on first before you can start using the Board mate.

**Q: hi i need to hang 1/4" hardie backer 4x8ft sheets  weigh 60 lbs each  will these hold that weight??**
A: They should without a problem. They will support atleast a 1/2" 4'x10' sheet of drywall

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ worked great as far as I was concerned
*by P***I on October 30, 2023*

I read some of the reviews posted and some of the negative feedback that was given. Some things I agree with like made out of aluminum but I would not trust just two on an angled wall and no way on an eight foot full sheet on a ceiling. I was by myself and since I would not have made it upstairs with a 4 x 8 sheet I cut sheets for vertical install and installed with butted tapered edges. If I could have carried full sheet upstairs I would not find it necessary to put these on a beam for the first sheet laying them vertical but the second would be fine to use them. They worked great for installing sheets on angled walls. You could also put small scrap pieces of sheet rock on the beams then screw these in to that so they would be flat on the wall. An improvement to them would be a slightly longer lip on the front part and have a small part of the front dipped/curved slightly down at an angle. Putting up an eight foot sheet by yourself the sheet bows slightly at the ends and that would make it easier to grab those things for install.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes
*by D***9 on December 24, 2022*

These beautiful, simple pieces of plastic are a lifesaver. This is one of the 2 most valuable tools to have when hanging drywall, especially for high, angled ceilings. The other being a heavy-duty, chain-driven board lift with the optional (but is actually not an option to not have, IMO) board-lifting attachment for loading the board onto the rack.I'm currently working on a house with 2 14'+ angled ceiling rooms with exposed wooden beams about 3-4 ft from the peak and about 6-8 ft apart. Not a lot of room for more than one person to work and I got stuck hanging both except for the first row on the bottoms which we usually do with at least 2 people just to make sure that the boards went on straight using a board lift (can be a nightmare depending on the angle of the ceiling, lift or no lift).I bought 2 sets of these (my brother/boss also bought a set) several years ago and almost forgot I had them. We couldn't easily use the lift as most of the board had be to cut into smaller than usual pieces and would have been more trouble than was necessary especially at the peak where we would have had to use the mast extension and STLL not be tall enough, they made the work so much easier because they remove the need for requiring a 2nd set of hands as long as the boards are not cut too big for more than one person to handle.I only have 2 issues with them:1. If you screw them on too tight they can cause you to have a small gap in the seam which could cause problems later when finishing. I found that if you screw them on just enough so that they don't spin around freely while you're trying to get a board in place, they won't cause you to have any gaps.2. It wouldn't hurt if they were made just a little thicker because sometimes they look like they're about to break when trying to support 12'x4'x1/2" or, even worse, the weight of 12'x4'x5/8" board.Yeah, it wouldn't be difficult to make some yourself since all it takes is a couple small blocks of wood, but it takes longer screws to put wood blocks up and wood can break after excessive use and longer screws suck. It would be nice if they could be made out of metal, but they would cost more. I think it would be worth it. The plastic ones paid for themselves the first time we used them and we saved a ton of energy which we would have expended faster by fighting with hanging ceiling board by hand (without the lift).P. S.Cable-driven board lifts SUCK. 😁

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Second set of hands when hanging Sheetrock
*by R***N on August 1, 2025*

These actually work when hanging sheet rock on walls. Haven’t attempted to use on ceilings.Inexpensive “second hands” when working by oneself.Inexpensive, worth what they costs.
