Very useful tool when moving

"Very useful tool when moving large, flat panels. Only complaint would be that a slight change in angle (when carrying) so that panel will not lean so far in one direction, make it so that the panel hangs closer to vertical but that is a fairly minor thing. Would recommend this product."

— JOHN M. (4/5)
