Compact Drywall Lifter
The KRAFT TOOL DC175 is a compact metal lifter designed to raise drywall and wallboard panels into position. Its small footprint suits installers working in tight rooms or on patch jobs. The tool handles all drywall thicknesses with a single piece of equipment. It is built for professional crews and DIY renovators who need reliable lifting assistance.
Replaces Manual Panel Holding
This lifter removes the need for a second person to hold sheets against ceilings or upper walls. The jump is worth it when working solo on overhead installations or when repetitive lifting causes fatigue. It supports every standard board thickness without adjustment. Builders who need to lift full sheets vertically for tall partitions should look for a full-size panel hoist instead.
Simple One-Piece Setup
The unit arrives as a single metal piece with no assembly required. Users simply position the hook under the board and apply leverage to raise the sheet. The most common issue is misjudging the balance point on heavy panels, which can cause the sheet to shift. Ensuring the lifter seats squarely on the board edge prevents slippage during the lift.

Questions about this item
How much space does the 8-1/8 in length of the DC175 need on my workbench?
The lifter measures 8-1/8 in long by 3 in wide, so it fits on a standard shelf or bench without overhang.
What is the correct way to position the metal frame under a sheet so it does not slip?
Centre the lifter beneath the panel, engage the lip against the bottom edge, then apply steady upward pressure; the most common error is placing it off-centre, which lets the sheet tilt.
Will the metal construction of the DC175 need lubrication or part replacement over time?
The all-metal body has no moving joints or springs, so it requires no lubrication and no wearable parts to replace under normal use.
