It has strong springs inside, so it's fairly heavy, and it only weighs about 8 pounds. It has a convenient handle and a removable carry strap, and the springs are also easy to remove and reattach. The handle is comfortable to hold, though it's a little short, and the carry strap is plenty long. The carry strap also has a convenient strap clip, so it's easy to attach and remove. It comes with two springs, one for regular lifting tasks and one for heavier lifting tasks. The springs worked well, lifting boards of about 5 pounds and up to about 80 pounds. The springs extend out, which makes it easy to grip the boards to lift them, and they also have hooks on the end, so they're easy to attach. The hooks also made it easier to attach the carry strap to the springs. The springs have hooks on the end, so it's easy to attach them to the board. The boards themselves were easy to attach, and they didn't slip much at all. The only complaint we had, and it's not a big deal, is that the springs might be a little too big for the carry strap. The springs could slip off the carry strap while it's on, and you could accidentally drop the board. This wasn't a problem for us, but it can be a little annoying.

The Gorilla Gripper 44010 Panel Carrier is a rugged, well thought out panel carrier that we found very comfortable to wear and carry. It's particularly useful for panels that are up to 6 ft long, which could easily be too long to carry by hand. The carrier has a padded shoulder strap and waist belt that adjust to fit different-sized users, and it's comfortable enough that it can be worn all day without feeling burdensome.

The carrier's locking mechanism also snaps securely into place, so even if you're carrying more than 1 panel, it won't slip or slide around. We also found that it's ideal for transporting 2 panels at once, as it sits high enough off the ground that you won't have to worry about them falling over.

We also liked the carrier's adjustable shoulder strap and waist belt, which makes it easier to carry multiple panels at once. The carrier has a limited lifetime warranty, which we found reassuring.

The CSYHJR Wood Board Lifter is a solid choice for lifting panels up to 6 inches thick, and it's convenient and easy to use.

The clamp is adjustable and works with most panel thickness, and it's adjustable from 0 to 6 inches.

This Panel Carrier works as advertised. It clamps down on any flat, solid surface (such as plywood, glass, and Formica), and holds the material tightly as you pick it up. The jaws are smooth and forgiving, so you won't have to worry about scratching or denting the material. It works well with sheets of plywood or drywall, but it's less ideal for materials like Formica, since it doesn't grip tightly enough. The handle is ergonomically designed to make carrying heavy panels easier. It comes with a short extension strap, so you can easily reach heights above your head. The Panel Carrier is also great for picking up heavy beams or objects without handles, like large washing machines or refrigerators. The handle is 9.5 inches long, so if you need a taller handle, an optional extension strap is available for $9.99.
