The Slate Mate is a tool that aims to make the demanding task of moving billiard table slate easier and safer, particularly beneficial for billiard mechanics and installers. It provides a more reliable and controlled method than traditional manual lifting or using methods like cargo straps, which carry the risk of accidents and potential injury. The “One-Person Slate Handling Package” can turn a two-man job into a one-person job, thus saving labor costs. Best of all it's made in the USA!
