Tips and Tricks for Proper usage

Using Your Woodworker’s Helpin’ Hand™

For best results keep threads lubricated and always start with tool fully closed.
Do not use a wrench or pipe on central turnbuckle to increase leverage.
Always keep nailer chamfer facing away from you towards the floor, wall stud or ceiling rafter/joist for easy removal, if using nails to fasten tool.
Always keep reversible head chamfer facing you for easy blind nailing (set screw towards working surface)

Working with Crooked or Bowed Wood

For really stubborn, crooked boards use two (2) Quality Deck screws in both holes provided.
For absolute worst case scenario use two (2) Helpin’ Hand tools with Quality Deck screws in both nailer holes and operate them simultaneously.
When installing CONCAVE boards start at one end, preferably the end with more straight length, and work your way across jumping the tool or tools a few times.
When installing a CONVEX board start by placing the tool or tools evenly spaced in the middle of the convex and “flatten” the curve.
