The Third-Hand Support Pole provides that 'extra hand' for jacking, bracing, clamping, or supporting whatever up-off-the-floor or over-your-head tasks call for-e.g., installing drywall, ceiling panels, light fixtures, crown molding, cabinetry, window coverings, countertop backsplashes. The pole, which has a working range of 5 to 12 feet, features textured rubber pads with articulating heads for gripping most surfaces, ball-detent locks, custom clips to hold up plastic dust-barrier sheeting, and a quick-release/ergonomic-action lever for maintaining secure pressure.
