CARRY IT FEATURES
With the use of a standard 32mm course thread screw, Carry It is fixed through the taper of a previously installed plasterboard sheet into the ceiling batten/joist.
The handle of Carry It tool now acts as a support and guide for the next sheet of plasterboard to be installed.
The Carry It tool can also be used for levering plasterboard off the ground. This is done in order to attain a tight join between top and bottom wall sheets as well as creating a gap between the plasterboard and the ground for moisture control.
The ability to control the levering of plasterboard with only the user’s feet relieves the back of added strain from continually bending over.
