T-JAK® - All purpose support tools
The T-JAK® is a fine example of a Green tool. It’s purpose is to eliminate the waste caused
by using 2x4s and ledger boards to support cabinets, drywall and other objects. With over
fifty thousand tools in use today, the number of trees saved by using the T-JAK® is substantial
enough for it to be considered an environmentally friendly tool.
Patterson Avenue Tool Co.Inc. was founded 20 years ago by three boyhood friends, who
grew up on the same street in Chicago, Illinois. Our mission was to create and market new
innovative tools for use in the home improvement and construction industry.
We were looking for a way to raise the cabinet close to the desired position, still carry the
weight, yet allow for fine tuning. The unique feature of T-JAK® is the quick/tilt adjustment
knob, which allows for quick positioning, while carrying the weight, and then fine tuning by
turning the knob.
All T-JAK® tools are powder-coated with bright orange paint, and the individual pipe sections
are very nicely finished. There are no sharp burrs, and the pieces assemble and disassemble
quickly, forming an almost unlimited array of different application possibilities.
Even after 20 years manufacturing the T-JAK®, we still enjoy hearing about the wide range of
job applications that the T-JAK® is used for. We have sold to NASA, USAF, Daimler Chrysler,
Country Coach, schools, hospitals, and boat builders.
The T-JAK® becomes your hard working helper for many difficult jobs. Do-it-yourselfers and
professional remodelers rave about this handy tool.

Testimonials
“The T-JAK® Support Tools have received wide acclaim from
professional publications, carpenters, tradesmen, and do-it-yourselfers.
The U.S. Patent Office recognized the design and ingenuity of
the T-JAK® by awarding it a patent in the early 1990’s. It quickly
became the “Tool of Choice” by the “Cabinet Installers of America”.
The T-JAK® is “Tested and Approved” by “The Handyman Club of
America”. It is being used regularly on “This Old House”.
“The T-JAK® is one of the best five tools I have ever owned”.
Rich O., Builder
“This useful and practical product is a snap to set up, taking only
about five minutes. It can be used to support ceiling drywall, cabinets
and paneling. One or two T-JAK®’s is like having an extra pair of
hands.”
Steve C., Handyman
“The T-JAK® is fantastic.”
Norm A., “This Old House”
“The T-JAK® enables one person to do many tasks that normally
require two or more pair of hands. I used the T-JAK to assist
in putting up 8-ft. ceiling drywall. It worked great. I would
recommend getting two of them for larger drywall or paneling
jobs.”
Jim T., D.I.Y.
“This tool works great”.
Tom S., “This Old House”
Jim, I have used your t-jak for about 8 years, and it makes my job
very easy.( I do interior trim work-incliding cabinets) I was tempted
just to buy a new one, but it was very nice to be able to buy parts. I
have a couple of friends that just might buy their own, I am always
“talking up” my t-jak. Thanks for a great product.
Greg Griffin, Trim Carpenter
“I may forget to order the cabinets, but I will never forget my T-JAK”.
Pat M., Cabinet Installer
“For lifting loads overhead, it’s the greatest invention since the wheel”.
Luke H., Builder
“I use the T-JAK® to hold up the wire lath, it’s the best tool since the
bread slicer”.
Glenn H., Plasterer
“I am a cabinet installer, I have been installing cabinets for
about ten years. Your cabinet T-JAK® has made me the best in
the area, with one other guy and myself, we have been
installing between sixty and ninety cabinets per day
on average.”
