How do I attach the bottom foot to the red pole of the upper hand?
The Upper hand comes with 2 universal 6"x6" feet. These feet press fit on the top and bottom. The bottom press fitting is very tight. This is on purpose so the foot does not come off during use. It may require tapping onto the pole with a mallet the first time. It should loosen up a small amount after the first 1-2 uses, but does require some force to attach on first use.
Does the 3rd Hand come with a manual or have I lost it?
No, we don't have a manual for the 3rd Hand, but we have tons of great videos online that you can watch. Go to the video tab to see all of our videos.
Is there a warranty for the 3rd Hand product line? I have one where the ball detent shared off. It's less than a year old and was only used as a temporary wall while spraying,i.e. no substantial loads were placed on it.
We warranty it to be free of defects but if you brake a part/piece over time we do have some small replacement parts.
I lost my little black 3" X 3" articulating feet for my 3rd Hand. Can I buy some extras?
No problem! Check out our 3"x3" Articulating Foot, Magnetic Dust Barrier Foot, and our Universal Foot.
I've broken the plastic "pump" handle. Can I purchase a replacement part?
Yes! Just give us a call at 1-888-443-3748 and we can sell you one at a discounted price.
When I received my 3rd Hand, it came with one small pad and one large Big Foot Accessory. Should it have come with two small foot pads and not one? How can I get a second small foot pad? I purchased it from Duluth Trading Co.
Please call Duluth Trading Co. and they will be happy to send a replacement on whatever you need that was missing.
How does the 3rd Hand HD help you meet these stringent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead-dust containment laws?
New EPA-mandated legislation passed April 22, 2010. The new law requires contractors and other small entities to be certified to renovate or perform work on pre-1978 facilities due to the risk of lead poisoning. To learn more about the new law, please refer to the EPA Regulation Summary.
The 3rd Hand HD helps you meet these stringent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead-dust containment laws when doing demolition or when renovating an older home that has lead paint. In fact, the EPA mandates that dust be contained when as little as six square feet of lead paint is disturbed in homes or facilities where there are children under six years old.
Go to www.epa.gov/lead to get details on the latest lead-safety rules and lead-safe work practices.

Love your products
Love your products. Use them every day with my remodeling business and as you know, they save me time and money. I use the upper hand almost daily doing engineered marble and granite showers. It appears the bag they come in has ample room to hold 4 poles. I'm curious if it's possible to get a bag that holds all 8 bases in the same way it holds 4 now. 4 on one side and 4 on another. I'd gladly buy another couple sets or just the bags if that were an option. Thanks for your time, Jason Knollman
Response: Thanks Jason. We'll make you a custom bag!
