Helping the Little Guy – Drywall Protector Plate

 

Dear Newsletter Friend,

 

image1I was approached by Mr. Dan Groot about his drywall protector plate.

 

I generally do not promote products (except my own!) via my newsletter, but if I can help the 'little guy' I will. Dan good luck and God Bless.

About the Drywall Protector Plate

 

The Drywall Protector Plate™ temporarily locks on and protects the work hole and surrounding areas from costly paint and drywall damage when pulling wire, flex conduit, fiberglass rods, and flexible drill shafts.

This product is designed to reduce the possibility of snagging materials or tools as they glide through the opening. This product works great with wire/cable spool racks and carts!

Self lubricating bearings are actually made out of the same material as the drywall protector plate. To test, a flexible drill shaft was placed on the plate, pressure was applied and the shaft was rotated with a drill motor on high for 10 minutes in the same spot. The shaft didn't mar the spot at all.

The plate or tabs will not shatter or break on impact, even at -15 degrees Fahrenheit! This product is designed for 1/2” and 5/8” drywall. To use on 3/8” drywall, tape cardboard spacers on the back of the locking tabs. Each plate comes with a 6 mill resealable storage bag to store the plate and locking tabs.

  • If an electrical contractor had used this device a couple years ago it would have prevented legal action where a drywall installer was injured. This device helped to win the case. I highly recommend the use of this device.

  • Mike, this is a great idea! I think this person needs praise and support from our industry.

    I must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed today, but is the phrase "Little Guy" indicating the individual against large corporations or as an individual from M.H.E. point of view? Each of us were/are little guys in the industry at one point in time and all of us should have worked in the field at one time or another. Thanks Mr. Groot!!

  • Mike, this guy has a good product. I'm glad you made us aware of it. Please continue the practice. It really is of great help to those who do the actual work. The person the domestic workman fears most is the enraged house wife. If an electrician messes up her wall he is going to wish he picked another business. This is a much needed product.

  • I read much of but rarely reply to or comment on things distributed by Mike's forum, but this caught me in the right modd to do so. Mike promotes a good and well informed contribution to our industry.

    The comment I would make is that It is nice to see a product and endorsement for something relating to quality workmanship. Hats off to Mr Groot and Mr. Holt. I may follow up and buy two.

  • Mike, Ya done good! I recently saw an ad in CE mag but it wasn't very clear on the spec/use. This info helps greatly to judge the usability.
