I bought these and they do work. Me and my step-son were able to put up a 31 foot truss by ourselves. They are worth the money and they save time. it also made it very safe putting them up.
I'm not a carpenter but that thing is pretty cool. I did some in High School and remember having to attach a short piece of 2x4 on each truss. it was a pain
Sure it went up quick but the prep time to get it secure was extensive! Not so fast when you add in the prep time to make it, "Click." Having to measure out and align the truss catcher..... get a truss catcher out of alignment and there goes the roof!
If this adds strength to the roof system and speed to put up its worth the extra expense of buying the materials to use it so hurricane straps even in Tornado ally would help keep the roof on a house that would otherwise blow down. and save on insurance claims. This might not say it stop's a roof from lifting off a house in strong winds,but a simple mod it could do just that to strap down better then just nails.
@jelassiterII You must be pretty new to construction. Trusses are used in every aspect of building, and are many times stronger than a cut roof. No doubt about that.
good job! Now; I have an addition which you can include. You are familiar with salvaged air force target tow wire its very high tensile strength and it's very inexpensive you can add these wires criss X cross in the trusses and down the vertices anchored to the footer. The house or building structure cannot blow away or down if tied down properly. The roof will not lift off or fly away in any type of storm. Unless maybe a direct tornado hit but not in hurricanes,tropical storms or summer storms. A very simple net system would even save the shingles in a storm. and doesn't add any real weight to the structure.
I tried promoting that idea and those I contacted weren't that interested. I was designing the system to be an add on to existing structures as well as new buildings. I thought insurance companies would be interested. But to my surprise they could care less because they insure their investments as well. So insurance claims are actually a wind fall for insurance companies. This is why WE ARE ALL SCREWED. POOR construction methods and materials are designed to cause as much damage as possible. This is why new homes simply blow apart in storms or burn to ash in an instant. but for a Man who is building his own home; this is a good idea and adding an inert gas fire extinguishing system is 10 times better than a water system. and not a nickle more in cost. Actually less expensive 3ea 300 cf argon gas bottles set at 4psi over ambient pressure with the dispersal system being the AC duct system and an internal wall diffuser for the gas. No fire could exist for 10 seconds in any one room. a surfactant sweat paint could save both interior and exterior walls. Heat activates beads of surfactant making the walls literally sweat a fire retardant surfactant which washes off with no damage to the surface. The immediate fire and smoke damaged area is simply re-coated with the colored paint. The actual structure can't burn with the retardant on it. These are all my inventions and not even the fire Martial is interested. I get the lost in space glaze from fire chiefs and insurance investigators. This society needs to burn as far as I'm concerned anymore. I built this gas system in my fifth wheel just to experiment and you know how fast they burn. A GREASE FIRE WAS OUT IN 3 SECONDS WITH NO SMOKE DAMAGE . A SHORTED OUT ELECTRICAL WIRE IN THE WALL WAS OUT IN 22 SECONDS and no damage to interior wall coatings or the skin of the fifthwheel. SO; there are methods a man can use to save his family. or............ let em burn up.
Tracey Osterlind 90% of construction is engineered and designed to fail. You give the item or process I show you the Engineered failure. There is no reason to build stick houses except the lumber industry is making a killing. stripping the earth of all the timber worth anything. For example concrete shouldn't have steel re-bar EVER! It should have any other none corrosive material to bind the mix like a fiber; like a hemp fiber for example.
You understand the concrete itself is a corrosive material, that it will eat through hemp, Teflon, nylon, and even degrade carbon fiber, right? Reinforing rod, aka, rebar, will not corrode without exposure to oxygen. This can be in air or water... Yet, that requires a poorly mix, poured, agitated, or sealed job. Please,don't talk about what you don't know. Imagine driving over any bridge made with concrete pilings or decking and it being made with hemp and not rebar. You'd be falling in an instant. Idiots here think they can impart wisdom because they heard another idiot say it. Go get a structural engineering degree before you comment on concrete reinforcement.
Brilliant, it's not a "clap on clap off" it's a "snap on in a snap"!!I found the comments to be additionally just as humorous as the fuzzy but articulate ol'guy armed wit'a 20 oz. hammer & a'bright idee evenly demonstrated dimly. Yet, however fuzzy or non-sensical the presentation to be for a new & improved snap got'n gitty of a tool might be or deemed as impractical as a river bottom farm. The ol'guy has a secured retirement plan to share with the world, & from an averaged achiever to home professionals or even the elbow rip it up, hacker framers mentality or even some opinionated pet peevers allowing brilliance to sour common sense as an over achiever.The brilliance is best demonstrated by the positive flexible minded builders with an ability to build on ol'guys vision fuzzy ideas.
it's not that hard to mark a furrence every 24" to locate every trusses then swing the truss, align on the 24" line and put a nail. This invention save the second hand, not the third one that most of you don't have.
"not professionals"...no kidding. We would have set the trusses with cats and ridge blocking and been done sooner with less labor, and without purchasing some gimmick. Home Depot will buy it from you though, Im sure. Good luck!
+Troy D which shows that you might have a great idea but if you do not know how to market it, you are dead in the water. Quite clear here that this guy never had the money to properly promote his product.
I can't imagine a pro ever using one of these. Also it shouldn't take 5 guys to set trusses. And the speed isn't that great either. Trusses go up fast.
Very dangerous to handle a truss that way. Truss not designed to be 180% handled and you can see it about to snap and stab the guy below everytime. It's just a matter of time before it happens and the stupid chump below will get one hell of a sliver.
+60185 Mr. (West Chicago) ive framed for about 30 years and the truss wont snap . only dangerous thing is if the stick they are using slips . ive done this like this without the invention thousands of times . these are small trusses .
These things are crap you'll never see this kind of junk on one of my sites,my crew are pros they wont take risks like these guys and my insurance probably would never allow these on a job.
trusses are for idiots who dont know how to cut a roof. poor quality 2x4. real rafters are at least 2x8 and real joists are at least 2x6 depending on the spans.
this is pretty stupid. we through them up like nothing doing it the old fashion way. what a waste of time setting up for this system. imagine if you had to pay all those workers full carpenters wages. oh and by the way flipping trusses bends them at all the joiners. its always better with a crane. expensive but does a better job
just a gimmicks. no mention of now to brace your gable end truss. no mention of x bracing every 16 ft. no mention of 45 angles on top of trusses as you go. you want those truss ruggedly braced before you get to the plywood. anyone watching this don't trust this.

This is great to see. I did this with my Dad years ago and we made them from wood and screws and nails.
Pretty good system. People feel more relaxed do it with this system.
Very good idea!!!
Can see well enough to appreciate but it looks like a good idea. Especially for a minimal crew situations.
Sure it went up quick but the prep time to get it secure was extensive! Not so fast when you add in the prep time to make it, "Click." Having to measure out and align the truss catcher..... get a truss catcher out of alignment and there goes the roof!
be nice if you used that other great invention - the focus knob on the camera

fantastic....!
Hey it works for him and his crew all is good.....works for me too.
I'm a handyman and I confident that I could build my own house with device.
They have a long way to go in learning how to build a house.
Cool :)
Nice.
Looks like a nice productive product. Wish your video was of better quality.
neat. nice
Man what did you film this with, a potato ?
I resent that!!!
Yours sincerely,

No! not Betamax,it was VHS!
@jelassiterII
You must be pretty new to construction. Trusses are used in every aspect of building, and are many times stronger than a cut roof. No doubt about that.
If these are attached on top of the trusses then where does your decking go? I'm confused!
"Truss Me" - great name
Sounds neet but we dont get to see how long it takes to fit the devices ,a little misleeding ,thanks Matt ...eco builder
hurray.
Dude just go to your local building supply and get metal truss spacers.
현장에서는 아주 유용하게 쓸수있어서 참으로 좋읍니다, 공기도 많이 단축 할수 있을것 같습니다, 참 잘보았습니다.
yay
Hi,didn't you know you must take the Lenz cap of the camera,🤣🤣🤣😂
I use a ridge blocking, much faster and just as accurate.

Huh ?
I can not see this going in to the house building, that is why they use 1x3 fir strapping, a throw away item , such as your rig a mick thing.
Neat
are you using a left handed hammer?
Steve Jobs would have hated this video.
Video is so blurry I didn't finish watching this.
cool
Which pixel was it?
I put 32' trusses up by myself!
where can i buy them?
@redbuckf150 Amen.
Even if you had to "roll" trusses, get a fckn' crane and set packages and cut your manpower in half. oh, get a tape measure too....
Where can i buy them?
are those houses earthquake and hurricanesafe??
WHERE CAN I BY THE SYSTEM THANKS
informative, but way too blurry
its an engineered truss and must be stronger than a 2x10,
where to get it
How much to buy your patent???
you need more than one ppi
i only wish i could see it
\
it looks like this video was made 10 years ago!
its probably been out that long

se bater um furacão já eraaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Couldn't watch this beyond 2min. It gave me headache 🤕.
So, how much and where do you purchase?
+Troy D ....*after seven months u made the question...did u get any reply yet?*
Nope, and now done with my project.
Troy D ...*ur project?...wow..is on youtube?...give me the link to take a look*...*
+Troy D which shows that you might have a great idea but if you do not know how to market it, you are dead in the water. Quite clear here that this guy never had the money to properly promote his product.
I can NOT see anything due to BAD blurred video.
I can't imagine a pro ever using one of these. Also it shouldn't take 5 guys to set trusses. And the speed isn't that great either. Trusses go up fast.
I have set trusses by myself alot, and set them with one other guy at least a hundred times.
That guy is constantly forgetting what hes doing and very bad at hosting the avdert XD
Quality is bad..just needed to point that out
Very dangerous to handle a truss that way. Truss not designed to be 180% handled and you can see it about to snap and stab the guy below everytime. It's just a matter of time before it happens and the stupid chump below will get one hell of a sliver.

lmao...no hard hats either... brilliant....

Poor quality video! Sorry!

This sounds like a great idea. It reduces work load and facilitates work.

Sorta like a speed line...
pretty crappy resolution, makes it hard to watch.
These things are crap you'll never see this kind of junk on one of my sites,my crew are pros they wont take risks like these guys and my insurance probably would never allow these on a job.
+Joe Longstaff you have only 4 videos, stop talking
Sounds correct pros know how to do this, these guys are looking slow not really sure what is going on
trusses are for idiots who dont know how to cut a roof. poor quality 2x4. real rafters are at least 2x8 and real joists are at least 2x6 depending on the spans.
video quality is very poor

Don Filkins I definitely wouldn't truss it!
super cool for garages and DIY where a min. number of men needed.
Mark OnTheBlueRidge safety first. it would take 30 seconds to mention those 3 things.
Mark OnTheBlueRidge well he did say they are not a professional crew. thus lack of safety
Mark OnTheBlueRidge I have been a carpenter 45 years. I have seen people hurt in these situations. can never be to safe
video horrivelllllllllllllll.
