ABSTRACT:
A hand tool is disclosed for use in carrying a panel, such as a drywall or sheetrock workpiece. The hand tool has an elongated body formed from a wire formative and includes a handle portion, a shank portion and a weight-bearing or foot portion. The handle portion is canted inwardly toward a user and upwardly to the rear of the user. The upward canting of the handle portion fits in the closed hand of the user. The handle portion is configured, when held with the wrist unflexed, in the clenched hand of the user with his arm alongside his body, to depend downwardly from between the user's thumb and first finger substantially in alignment with and as extension of the arm of the user. A shank portion of predetermined length is attached at one end to the handle portion. The weight-bearing portion is attached to the shank portion and, when held in an operative position by the user, supports the workpiece along the bearing edge at the balance point. The tool as the workpiece is moved over various gradients is readily movable to another balance point along the bearing edge.
