What happens here

The video demonstrates how to use Form Extenders to create continuous forms for longer runs or to navigate corners. For a straight run, a Form Extender can be placed to bridge a gap between two shorter form boards. For corners, the tool allows for a clean and stable turn, with the ends resting on the adjacent forms. This method removes the necessity for extra screws or bracing, as the Form Extender supports the boards directly.

Goal: Efficiently create continuous concrete forms and corners.

What they say

Hide

They can straddle stakes, forms. It just makes your life so much easier. You got just a regular gap here, too. You can put them in like that. If you're coming around a corner, they pop right off. You can stick them on the end of a run. They're supported on the top there. They're not going to kick back on you. You don't need to put that extra screw in for bracing. You can run them by in a situation like this. Just catch them on a couple inches is all you need. So, instead of running back to the truck and trying to cut a board and get it in
