Pentagon Tool "Foot Lifter"--Mini-Lifter for Drywall and Sheetrock

This is one of those dry wall tools you can't live without - and will wonder how you managed without it once you've bought one. The design is extremely basic but - it works.

When you're working alone it really does came into it's own. It's unbelievably robust, small enough to drop in your pocket and doesn't mind sharing space with the rest of the tool bag. Despite what it looks like it really is an effective leverage tool - and for the price it's an absolute steal.
