Tired of Struggling to Install Boards by Yourself?

Ever wish you had an extra set of hands but you don’t want to hassle with hiring an extra person or asking a friend or neighbor for help?

Frustrated with holding boards in place while trying to fasten them?

Have you ever passed on bidding jobs because you don’t have the help to get those jobs completed solo?

 

Our tool will get you through those concerns and allow you to get the job done yourself!

 

 

Install Faster. Work Smarter. No Extra Hands Required.

The Pro Pack includes two T&G Installation Helpers, giving professional installers greater control, stability, versatility and speed when working solo hanging tongue & groove boards. Ideal for ceiling installs, longer boards, and repeat production work. Perfect use for solo installers or a crews on jobsites.

When one tool works well, two tools work better. 

✅ More Than Just Tongue & Groove installations

The T&G Installation Helper can also be used to support sheets of plywood, drywall, HardieBacker® cement board, and similar materials—holding them securely in position, hands-free, while you fasten them in place.

Follow the instructions below and refer to the accompanying photos for additional guidance.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Separate the Tool

Remove the screws connecting the two halves of the Installation Helper. For this application, use only the shorter half with the built-in spacer.

Step 2 — Secure to the Stud

Fasten the shorter half to the wall stud with the spacer facing the stud. Rotate the tool 90° so the longer section is out of the way, allowing you to position the sheet.

Step 3 — Position and Support the Sheet

Once the sheet is positioned, rotate the tool back 90° to its vertical position.

The built-in spacer supports the weight of the sheet, while the longer section holds it firmly against the studs—freeing your hands to secure the material in place.

One Tool. Multiple Applications. Built for Working Solo.

Why Choose the Pro Pack

• Support longer tongue & groove boards with confidence
• Maintain alignment across wider spans
• Reduce repositioning and wasted time
• Increase speed on ceilings and repetitive installs
• Designed for solo installers who demand efficiency

This is the preferred setup for contractors, handymen, and serious DIYers who want maximum performance from every install.

 

How the Pro Pack Improves Your Workflow

Using two tools allows you to support both ends of a board while fastening, keeping material level and secure without fighting gravity.

The result:

• Better board control
• Faster fastening
• Cleaner alignment
• Less physical strain

You stay focused on the install—not holding boards in place.

 

Who the Pro Pack Is For

• Contractors installing tongue & groove ceilings
• Handymen working solo on residential projects
• DIYers tackling large or overhead installs
• Anyone who wants faster, smoother installs without a helper

If you install more than a few boards at a time, this is the setup that makes sense.

 

Single vs. Pro Pack

 

 

Things to keep in mind

(1) Each installer at every worksite is responsible for the design layout of the tongue & groove boards. The T&G Installation Helper aids in hanging the boards, not determining the design layout. Re-positioning the tool while securing the first three rows of boards is required and depends on how you layout your boards. In some builds, using 2 T&G tools can be beneficial to the installer. This all depends on the installers skill and needs for the job.

(2) When using the T&G Installation Helper on ceilings, the shorter end always faces the ceiling, and the long end always faces the floor. If used on walls, the shorter end always faces the wall, and the long end always faces the installer.

(3) Secure the T&G Installation Helper using a #10, 3 1/2" washer head wood screw (not included) on the rafter of your choosing. This depends on how your laying out your rows. 

 

Fastening the Board

The T&G Installation Helper holds each board in position while you make fastening decisions — freeing both hands so you can focus on quality and precision.

Fastener selection and placement are the installer's responsibility and should be based on:

• Board species and thickness
• Project spacing and layout
• Manufacturer recommendations for the specific material
• Applicable building practices and local code requirements

The Installation Helper does not prescribe nail or screw spacing, and no guidance provided here guarantees code compliance. Always consult manufacturer specifications and applicable building codes for your jurisdiction.

⚠️ Safety & Installer Responsibility: The installer is solely responsible for all fastening decisions, structural adequacy, and compliance with local building codes. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working overhead. Work within your skill level and consult a licensed professional when required.
