Review on 🏚️ Hollow Cavity Plasterboard by Anndason by Michael Nard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Mistake! Definitely NOT heavy duty.

I'm a jack of all trades and although I bought this less than 8 months ago I've had constant problems even though it's been used maybe twice a month. While I like this unit, the front locking hex screw that holds the screw head flip plate is always loose. Can't do without it, so be careful and hold onto it. I need some Loctite and I hope this solves this stubborn problem. Next thing that happened was the rear spring kicking the grip back after the compression failed, and that was in the middle of work! Needless to say I wasn't too happy. I thought I'd have to throw it away, and then I noticed that the rear folding panel was hanging from a pole. I smeared the rod with some machine oil and now it seems to be working properly again. If you're selling a tool and labeling it "heavy duty," you'd better make sure it lives up to its name. Update 9/19/19: Warning to anyone purchasing this. You will need to remove all the bolts one by one, lubricate them with Loctite and replace them. If you don't, you will lose the screws. Luckily I was able to replace the lost one, but I got really lucky and had to use MacGyver to get it working properly again. Loctite will solve the problem.

Pros
  • Well built, easy to use, fits perfectly every time
Cons
  • I'll add later
