Tools and Hardware Reviews of FastCap 3rd Hand Support System 57-to-144-Inches, 2-pack #3HAND5
Customer Review: 3rd hand, my helper
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the set of "3rd hands" with hopes of the jacks helping to hold items an poly walls. After haveing it for less then one week, I just love it. I work alone most of the time doing remodeling and new home trim and etc. most of the time. In remodeling the poly temp. wall keeps customers happy, but the 3rd hand keep me happy. Hanging cabinets, installing long ceiling molding, esspecially getting the cut mark. Holding up and in perfect place pocket door tracks. Had to cover the wood unfinished ceiling so the spray insulation guys could do their thing. This is just the beginning in less than one week. Just great!!Customer Review: 3rd hand? try 0.2 of a hand...

What a dissapointment. Bought 2 of these starting a remodeling project because we thought they would come in really handy for a variety of tasks. One broke on the first try jacking up a <40lb 2x8 to the ceiling (advertises 70lbs). The handle is really flimsy, the swiveling top plate doesn't have enough friction to not swivel when you don't want it to.
I guess if you want to use it as a tent pole it might work. Given the cost, I was hoping it would be more useful...and not break!!!
I'd prefer 2 hands I know will work than any number of these "3rd" hands.
Customer Review: 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th hand
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product. Easy to use. Each rod supports 150lbs up to 12 foot. Makes a fast dust barrier when used with plastic sheeting. Held cabinets up like a champ while they were being installed. All around great product for a lone DIY er.Customer Review: Awesome

I purchased four of these for crown molding. I just finished the crown molding in the third bedroom tonight. These are great. I wouldn't have been able to do this alone. I highly recommed these.Customer Review: Be careful- fragile, poor quality tool

These things might be okay for homeowner repair, IF you are lucky enough to get one that is functioning, but they will not withstand the rigors of daily use by a builder/ contractor/ remodeler. After one ride in the back of the truck, one of my four poles ended up with a cracked tightening knob. After use on two jobs, one of the 4 poles will no longer extend when the lever handle is pumped. And, be certain you don't use these things to hold up anything that can do serious injury or damage if it falls, because the pump lever mechanism is prone to sudden failure, even when it seems to be working. This tool is a really good idea, but poorly designed and manufactured with bad quality control.
