Cheap Lee Valley Painter’s Pyramid

Elevating a project on a board with nails or screws driven into it is an old finisher’s trick that gives access to multiple surfaces at once. These simple supports do the same thing and are quick to set up, non-marking, and compact to store.

Molded from a solvent-resistant polymer, they will not react with finishes or wood. The tip presents a small contact surface to prevent blemishing the finish, and is rounded to minimize denting all but the softest material. Tabs on two of the bottom edges let you fasten the pyramid to a work surface or link two or more pyramids together.

Each pyramid is 2″ high and has a load rating of 200 lb. Sold in packages of 10, they nest together neatly for storage. A real time saver.

Various colors, depending on supply.
