Fix-IT!

For us that are working in the construction industry, carrying heavy items is common enough. Long hours of moving heavy construction materials around the site is literally back-breaking work. Over the years, many inventions have tried to make our builders' life a little easier with ergonomic tools and gadgets.
Specifically for wood flooring companies, moving around large plywood boards is an everyday routine. Workmen are accustomed to shuffling plywood boards around, dragging them along the floor to get them to the installation site. So far, there have been little in the way of tools to help with this most tedious process of wood floor installation. That is, until GorillaGripper came into the picture.

This amazing tool enables one person to carry a 18mm thick plywood sheet with only ONE HAND! Yes, you read that right. Just one hand. To easily carry a plywood base sheet that thick and heavy with two hands was considered a dream to most wood floor installers. This tool surpasses that with it's innovative design which will enable builders to do what was once thought impossible.


Take a look at this video to see what I mean.



See? If that dainty lass is able to lift up that heavy board with just one hand, imagine what seasoned wood floor veterans could do with this amazing tool! To them, this must be a gift from Heaven!
