THE HANGER-BUDDY

A removable pin and bold hold the joist hanger at the right height and width while a framer nails it off. The Hanger-Buddy is built for the professional and the do it yourself alike. Built from steel, this tool is job-site tough. Great for using on decks, pole buildings, ceiling joist, floor joist and anywhere joist hangers are used. The Hanger-Buddy will make installing joist hangers faster, easier, and more accurate.
