Very handy. Wish I had just gone ahead and sprung for one when I did my kitchen. I figured it was a small job, so I'll manage. Yeah...I manged to have a 70 lb piece of 5/8 fall down on the back of my head as I was bending over. Put a nice kink in my neck for weeks.
I just ordered one to help put up the ceiling in my garage. A Northern Tool is opening this week in my town, so I took advantage of the free ship-to-store.
Shipping killed me as well, so I orderd the Pentagon one on Amazon.com. I received it a couple weeks ago and am very happy with it. $144 shipped, so keep in mind it is 'low' quality because the price is so low, but for non-contractor use it is great!
