Third Hand Support Pole Heavy Duty, Cabinet Jacks for Installing Cabinets with 285 LBS Capacity and Expand from 15-4/5 to 23-3/5 in, 2-PC

This product is so well made I was surprised when it arrived. For the price it is extremely precise, strong and heavy duty. It did the job so well. I continue to use it during storms with wind or heavy rain to keep my canopy from tearing off of my house. No instructions necessary

While I haven't tested max weight capacity, the ease of use and overall sturdy construction belie the crappy Chinese quality one expects at this price point. Meets my modest needs perfectly.

Good length for upper cabinets, but I don't believe they are able to hold as much weight as they are rated for. Easy to operate. Decent value for the number of supports provided. Design could use a tweak, but they will get the job done. Overall, no major complaints. They do have the ability to micro adjust if you don't get overly zealous with your hand squeeze.

This is a handy item. I bought this to hold my SUV trunk open until I can get it fixed correctly. But until then, it does the job and the trunk doesn't fall on my head. This has many different uses. Great purchase

Very handy tool! Got these to use in correcting a leaning heavy wooden patio trellis. Large Trellis was hit by a fallen tree, and leaned against the house. Measured lateral force these provided was used by placing one end against building wall, the other against the heavy wood 6 x 6 post of the trellis…jacking the trellis carefully upright and level for bracing. Worked very well.

Maxenikit third hand support pole heavy duty works great for installing cabinets. Easy to use and they come with a nice carry bag.

two of four these are stuck and I cant lower them. This is the rod that ratchets up. They had very light duty, holding up a drop cloth. How many stars do you give for a 50% failure rate, one is too.

I bought this to hold up drywall while repairing a huge section of my stairwell ceiling & it worked even better than expected. Before I even got to repairing the ceiling though, it came in handy while trying to install an outside mount roller shade in my kitchen. Seriously couldn’t have done either job without these. I’m using them also while installing wood moulding around my windows making the job much easier & much quicker. The only downside is I have to use vice grips to push in the buttons to adjust the starting height. The tightness makes it much more sturdy, but darn near impossible to adjust quickly. I initially ordered the wrong size of these. The company made the exchange easy even though it was totally my fault for ordering the wrong thing. I definitely recommend this product and this company.
