Q:Adjustable ? Rental price?

Answer This Question

A:  The QS50 is adjustable from 45" to 120". This item is available via purchase only

by|Oct 12, 2017

    A:  It is infinitely adjustable between 42 inches and 10 feet. I use them to support 4' x 8' drywall on a 8 ft 2 3/4 inch ceiling when I must hang it by myself. I don't know about rental price, you would have to contact the Home Depot you would want to rent it (them) from. They're not expensive, between $30 & $35 each.

        A:  Not very well.

        by|Apr 8, 2018

        A:  there is an extension piece that can be used for crown molding that works well. I don't know if it is still sold here I bought it about 8 years ago when I bought the poles back when the only choice was red.

        by|Apr 10, 2018

        A:  Due to the size and rigidity of the pad ( 3" x 5" ), we would not recommend it's use in this type of application.

          Q:I was wandering if I can use this as a jack post to level out a floor?

          Answer This Question

          A:  No. It can't support the weight.

          by|Apr 8, 2018

          A:  The model QS50 should not be used as a " Jack Post " for floor leveling. This sounds like it would be way beyond the units capacity of 110 lbs. support.

            A:  i can't see these holding more than a single sheet of drywall. When putting up a full sheet I use at least 3 of these usually four. They are sturdy for what they are made for....for drywall and not much else. Right tool for the job.

              A:  No. It is not that heavy-duty.

              A:  Nope. This is more like an extra hand such as putting up sheetrock on a ceiling by yourself. You need to find an actual jack post.

                A:  Yes, the jacking feature allows you to extend the support in small amounts.

                by|Apr 9, 2018

                  A:  Yes. The long black lever extends a solid rod up the center of the adjustable post. You can squeeze to increase the height, as well as increase upward pressure.

                    A:  Yes by squeezing the hand lever at the top of the Quick Support, you are able to attain a snug fit The key is to set the quick support as close as you can to the desired height and adjust / fine tune the height with the hand lever.

                      A:  Yes. The last 10 inches of the pole are adjustable in about 24 steps using the squeeze handle.

                      A:  squeezing the lever at the top makes it ratchet up to a snug fit

                      by|Apr 10, 2018

                      A:  Yes ti does, and requiring only one hand, You squeeze the lever and jack the work up as tightly as you want, with as much or as little motion as you like.

                      by|Apr 9, 2018

                      A:  Yes it does. It is very well designed that way. You set it a few inches below your working height using teh twist collars on teh telescoping sections first. Then you get it up it up under your workpiece and with one hand, jack it up with as mush pressure as you want in small or larger increments by squeezing a lever just like a bar clamp. It really works great. It does take two hand however to release the pressure.

                      I purchased the 10 ft Quick Support Tool to help me with my DIY kitchen remodel project, and I am an experienced DIYer. I was hoping the tool would aid me with wall cabinet installation (I will also be using a temporary ledger on the wall) but that stage of the project is a few weeks off. So far I've used it during installation of a couple of ceiling joists and as a helper for mounting ceiling drywall. I'm so glad to have this tool, it is easy to set up and it works very well. Just make sure to twist the sections securely to assure a rigid support. One other note: the top and bottom feet are not attached to the pole during shipment. It took me a while to figure out that the feet need to be snapped into place and it takes some effort to do this. I recommend this tool for any DIYer. I wish I had it years ago!
