This tool is made for situations when nothing else works, when there is absolutely nothing to hold on to in any way. You place a female velcropatch on the item you need to hang (or more if needed) on the velcro platform you place the male velcropatch, - put the platform into the holder on a stand, and when you connect the two you are able to rotate the item hung while painting, - just another great idea from the "geeks" at F.K.
