Relatively difficult to adjust the height (strong springs), but unless you plan to use it all the time, no big deal.
Not the easiest to use due to the adjustability issues, but is a decent value. I wouldn’t pay for that other product with it’s significantly higher price unless you plan to use it day in and day out.
Well built steel construction with hard plastic feet.

This clamp is easy to use and gives me an extra hand when installing crown moulding.

I used one of these worthless things once. It was used to hold up one end of a single 2×6 and it was unable to do that. Besides being incredibly cheaply made, they are unable to do the job. I just can’t figure out what anyone else used them for.

I ordered two 3rd Hand’s from Amazon and two Multi-Quick Supports from Rockler Woodworking. The Rockler is a much better product. The 3rd Hand supports only 70 pounds while the Rockler supports 150 pounds. The 3rd Hand’s feet are plastic, while the Rockler feet consist of metal frames covered with rubber pads. The Rockler is also much, much easier to extend. And best of all the Rockler does less damage to your wallet.

Product was used; box was a repack. Unit extending 3″ beyound end of box; packing tape used to seal over unit to end of box. Parts and instruction manual missing. Product returned to Amazon for full refund including shipping (Amazon RA).
How did such a visually obvious used product pass Amazon Quality Control Inspection prior to shippment? Leads one to wonder if Amazon quality control processes include approval sign off by an inspector; and if the process is being followed and monitored?
