I went to Lowes Saturday and asked for a sheet goods carrier or what might be called a plywood or drywall carrier and two or three guys who worked there had no idea what I was talking about, even after I described it's use. Then I asked a drywall finisher, who was working at my house on Sunday, and he said they have them at our Lowes. So, apparently, everyone knows they have them at Lowes, except the people who work there. Go figure!

Well, I don't know what color mine is. I never thaught to ask. It is about 16" tall. at the top is a handle much like a suitcase would have. On either side of the handle are 2 rails. These rails angle down at a 45 degree angle for 2" or 3". This makes room between the handle and what you are carrying for your hand. At the bottom, there is a shelf with a lip. The shelf is about 2" ddeep and 7" or 8" wide. With the sheet leaning against something and resting on one of the long sides, one places the carrier under the middle of the long side. I use mine by grabbing the handle with the palm of my hand facing my body and the back of my hand facing the sheet material. This hand and arm supports the entire weight. My other hand grabs the opisit edge to steady the material. This hand is up by my head. I can easily carry a 3/4" sheet of MDF with out denking up the corners. I first got it when I needed to handle some baltic birch plywood. This stuff comes in 5' x 5' sheets. Being I'm 5 ft 6, I find it uncomfortable to span that distance with my arms plus lift the material. Terry On Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:44:22 -0400y u write: > >Terry, > >They sound great.
