                  $50 is a little steep for what it does. Maybe if I was a roofer, or even a cabinetmaker, it would be worth it.

                          It looked to me as though he was using it on some 1/2" drywall. I would think it would break the edge off lifting it that way.
                          Why doesn't the word 'planing' show up in my computer spell check?

                              Ingenious, but OMG, how many different ways can you demonstrate picking up sheet goods to really bad music? LOL

                              I like this version better though

                                  That is cool but 50 bucks is way too steep. I could swing it if it was 10 or 15. I wonder if I could engineer a wood one?

                                      Amazon has a couple of reviews.

                                          It would be worth every penny if I had to take wood up ladders like in the first ad.

                                          I'll have to remember that though.
