This tool allowed myself (I'm 51) and my wife (42) to hump a lot of 3' x 2' council pavings slabs about and lay them with the addition of a stout length of wood through the spade type handle with very little strain on our backs. aving laid a lot of slabs in the past without this tool, when I was a lot younger I can highly recommend buying this even if your a much younger man. This is a no brainer purchase fopr me. Don't bother with the handle, when you use a length of wood the handle doesnt slide down it as you would suspect. It also grips the slab well and we never dropped one even after banging the corners on walls etc. A very worthy buy even for just 1 project.

It's an excellent tool and so easy to work with, the down side is the cost ! The time you add in postage from Germany it makes too dear. I bought the two man handle as well and was charged two separate postage costs, in total I was over £100. We prepared the ground by screeding it and managed to lay 92 600mm x 600mm slabs easily in a single day. In total I've laid 300 slabs with it in my back garden. Ronnie

Simple sturdy construction with lots of adjustment for a perfect fit to lock onto slabs. The only limit is your own strength . This lifter coped well with 900 x 600 x 50mm slabs.....but I will take a while to recover!! Came from Germany to North Scotland in 3 days which is brilliant service.

This lifter really does help. I am lifting 600mm x 450mm flags no problem a d two of us can lift 600mm x 900mm flags. Once its set up its safe to use and really does allow you to position the flags accurately. I bought 2 others at £10.00 each and when I used them it lost the grip and missed my foot by inches. Spend wisely and stay safe.
