"It does make life a lot easier as it said in the items listing. We are at present redoing our offices and we think they have saved us a great many hours in labour." MP (Plymouth, UK)
"I don't mind saying that my remodel of this condominium is going to be a much nicer experience due to the Boardmates. They are easy to use and a real joy to hold. Hefty, well machined and finished, no rough edges - I expect them to go 20 years or more. It's not easy for a normal sized woman to work alone doing drywall, the Boardmates really make a difference. Not having to hire an extra man saves literally the price of two Boardmates and even the shipping every day I use them. How great is that?" CM (San Diego, USA)
"I have found the tool to be most handy. Something you do not regret purchasing. It has helped me in situations where I was alone and had to get drywall up quickly." TG (Ontario, Canada)

A. With a Boardmate in place on one edge of the previously fixed board you can rapidly and accurately position the next board as Boardmate provides full support to one edge of the new board.
When a pair of Boardmates are employed so that two edges are supported, the remaining weight of the board can comfortably be managed by one hand. Once a strategic fixing is made, both hands are then free to check alignment and make any final adjustments before the remaining fixings are driven home.
A. With a pair of Boardmates in place on the previous board, the next board is quickly and accurately located and held in place along the lower edge. Once again the board can easily be held in place with one hand.
A. By employing a pair of Boardmates, one at the top of the long edge and one in the middle of the short edge of the previously fixed boards, the new board is rapidly located and held securely leaving both hands free.
