Tools and Hardware Reviews of FastCap 3rd Hand Support System 57-to-144-Inches, 2-pack #3HAND5
Customer Review: Okay, but minimum 59 inches?
Summary: 3 Stars
These seem okay. There was some minor damage on the plastic of one of them when I got it. Is 59 inches the standard height of the bottom of cabinets? I incorrectly made the assumption that these would be the perfect size. My kitchen has an 8 ft ceiling and I was just replacing the old cabinets, so I wanted to hang them at the same height. They seem like normal cabinet height, but the jacks are too long.Customer Review: Old pro gets help

I can't tell you how many times I could have used the 3rd hand over the past 20 years...wish it had come out sooner! I have used mine mostly to keep stuff from shifting in the back of my truck and for making dust barriers. When I bought mine the contractor pack wasn't available yet, it looks like the way to go. I just bought 2 of the 2 packs. Great toolCustomer Review: One Fine Product
Summary: 5 Stars
When these supports arrived, I checked the package and everything was intact. The project they were purchased for was to push exterior drywall back to the ceiling rafters. The nails that was used to hold the drywall was releasing. The ceiling I was working on was 8 x 28 ft. I started at one end and jacked the drywall back to the rafters. I used drywall screws to secure the ceiling. I think the FastCap 3rd Hand Support System is well worth the money. The units I received clams it is rated at 150 pounds. I am not sure it is capable of this weight. There were no instruction inside the box, the only instruction is what is on the side of the box.Customer Review: Only because "6 Stars" is not an option...
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say enough good things about these. I've used them for multiple applications, and they've paid for themselves in the amount of labor and aggravation they've saved me.
- Holding up crown molding
- load bar in the bed of the truck
- bracing a cabinet flush to the wall
- applying pressure to a vertical section of beadboard glued to its substrate
- Holding up the pieces of a disassembled swingset so I can drop the tailgate of the truck without breaking my back
One cautionary bit of advice: When bracing cabinets, watch out that they don't fall over sideways and damage any nearby appliances of countertops. I had a close call once.
Customer Review: Perfect for the job

I bought this product to help with a specific project but I can tell I'll have many uses for it. It was easy to set up and use without reading the instructions. It works exactly as advertized and is reasonable priced.
