An adjustable support, comprising a base, a first tubular member extending upwardly from the base, the first tubular member comprising a first friction lock, a second tubular member arranged in telescoping engagement with the first tubular member, the second tubular member comprising a second friction lock and, a non-abrasive transverse member pivotably arranged on the second tubular member, wherein the first friction lock telescopingly secures the second tubular member within the first tubular member and the second friction lock pivotably secures the transverse member to the second tubular member.

An automated gypsum board installation machine is a device for automatically positioning, installing, and fastening gypsum boards. The device includes a first extendable support member and a second extendable support member as well as a board-fastening assembly that is slidably engaged in between. A quantity of gypsum boards is held within a board-containing receptacle and a gypsum board may be moved into position by at least one adjustable board-retaining device. Once the gypsum board is positioned, at least one fastener-installing device is able to secure the gypsum board in place via fasteners. The at least one fastener-installing device is mechanically coupled to at least one fastener receptacle. The device may be controlled automatically or manually via a control unit and a wireless receiver.

The present invention is a tool for installing and removing acoustic ceiling tiles. It comprises a base with two interlocking central hubs, each having two radially opposing legs. Spikes on the legs temporarily fix the tile. A central handle attachment mechanism allows connection to an elongated handle and locks the hubs rotationally. The hubs interlock at various angles, accommodating different tile sizes. The handle attachment is compatible with multiple thread types. Spikes are removable for customization. One hub features a side wall with gaps, creating a closed base and locking the hubs' rotation when engaged. The hubs may also have interlocking projections and recesses for secure positioning. This design improves efficiency and safety in ceiling tile installation and removal, reducing the need for ladders or scaffolding. The tool's versatility makes it suitable for various tile shapes and installation scenarios.
