Tried this at a ww show a couple years ago and it worked well.
I think the commercial, you know, with the young woman, has her
lifting 1/2, but who cares!
I have one of those plastic thingies that lifts from the bottom and it
is always tough to maneuver. I'd buy one but I think I will pass
due to the price.

you could make one out of birch plywood and some rubber inner tube.

and you could make the handle so your arm is not over your shoulder,too.
a cam-type handle that grips the panel against a opposite-side fixed piece.

If I got one of these my wife would feel that she wasn't needed anymore.

I too thought the design sucked ... off the cuff, I would much rather lift,
with my arm over the sheet and using the muscles in my shoulder and entire
arm to carry the load, instead of what appears to be a load on the wrist.
Then again, I saw it at the last woodworking show, but did not try it ... I
could well be missing something.

The plastic version I use that hooks under the sheet was $3. <G>

Have a friend in our wood club that has one and doesn't like it. I thought
it would work nice but after his comments decided against it. He is a wood

I've got The Troll and it works just fine... especially nice to be able to
roll large heavy panels on edge through tight spaces.
