I have been a plumber for 20 years and some jobs require installing water heaters. In the past I struggled putting them in place and was looking for a safe, easier way to place them! I ran across a UTube video titled “The right way to lift a water heater.” A guy named Dave Smith was a using a custom made hand truck which he called “the hot rod hand truck!” So I bought one! With the help of Dave’s UTube video and some practice I now install water heaters without breaking my back!
After installing 2 water heaters with “The hot rod hand truck” it paid for itself! I cannot understand why plumbers install water heaters any other way! It’s a great investment!
Thanks Dave for saving my back!
