Customers have mixed opinions about the grip of the battery. Some mention that it grips the plywood without slipping, making it much easier to carry. However, others say that it will lose its grip and drop the panel. The handles are wide enough and grip the plywood well, but when lifted the sheetrock falls out.

Customers are mixed about the weight of the battery. Some mention it's much heavier than expected, while others say it'll easily carry heavy backer board, drywall, and thick sheets of lumber. It's extremely lightweight, yet sturdy and durable, making it easy to carry. However, some say the large sheets are still heavy toting from the shoulder. The weight of these sheets pushes down heavily on the wrist joint and a bent elbow, making them awkward and heavy to haul.

This was bought as a Christmas gift for my husband (contractor). He has said that it has been handy to use for cumbersome carries. It saves his back a bit from have to twist and tweak to carry sheets of drywall and plywood.
It came on time & packaged well. My husband tried it out and loves it. He has full sheets of plywood on the 2nd floor of the garage. This tool made it so easy to bring the full sheets of plywood down the stairs and into the main floor of the garage for cutting. I am not able to help carry, so he was on his own. It was easy to use, works very well. He said this tool is something everyone should have.
I bought this to move about 30 sheets of plywood. It worked amazing until the end. The rubber came off. But all in all made the job a heck of a lot easier and faster!
I recently purchased the Gator Lift plywood carrier and it has made my life so much easier! It is extremely lightweight, yet sturdy and durable, making it easy to carry large sheets of plywood without any strain or hassle. The ergonomic design of the handles ensures a comfortable grip and the adjustable strap allows for easy adjustment of the height of the carrier, making it perfect for people of all heights. The carrier is also compact and easy to store when not in use. Overall, I highly recommend the Gator Lift plywood carrier to anyone in need of a convenient and efficient way to carry large sheets of plywood. It's definitely a must-have tool for any DIY enthusiast or professional builder.
