My old drywall lift finally gave out after 15 years
Last Wednesday I was hanging a 12-foot ceiling board in a basement remodel and my old metal lift just buckled halfway up. The locking pin sheared clean off and the board crashed down, took out a bucket of mud and bent the frame pretty bad. Anybody else got a favorite jack that's held up through the years, or should I just grab one of those newer aluminum ones?

Man, I feel that pain. My old lift did the exact same thing a couple years ago with a 12-footer, scary how quick it can just fold.

Those bends happen fast when the metal's been stressed from years of smaller loads.
