 You can't beat the price! August 13, 2008
These straps work great. They are the same ones sold at double this price elsewhere.
moving still stinks, but at least it doesn't hurt August 11, 2008

These straps are pretty cool, and once you get them set up properly on your arms, you'll be surprised how easy it is to lift dressers and other heavy furniture you previously had to struggle with.
I agree that these do work very well, and for a product under $20 they have saved me a lot of hassle. My dad couldn't stop laughing the first time he used them- a previously troublesome cabinet became a breezy 1 minute move. The ease of maneuvarability made our footing much better as we had to step over rolled up carpets and other construction equipment (you should always make sure your path is clear... you know, for safety.)
However, here are things the Forearm forklifts cannot do or issues I've noticed:
1) It does not make you instantly super-strong. You're still going to be team lifting a very heavy object- if you couldn't lift it before, you won't be able to lift it now. The product helps you lift with larger muscle groups, saves your hands the stress of holding up the object amd allows you to move furniture in a more "back-safe" way, but it doesn't grant the user super-strength (duh).
2) The straps really make it so that you need a third person to help with doors and or navigation (especially up and down stairs). Y'know that trick where you prop the object with your thigh while you turn and push a door open? Well these handy lifting straps essentially lash you to the object, restricting your hands from doing anything but guiding the object you're lifting (which is probably safer, anyway).
Really, a great moving product. Every able bodied group of friends and family should have a pair or two.
Believe or not these actually work!!! July 11, 2008
I used them to move furniture around, helped friends move furniture, washers dryers and we I love it. My girlfriend had no problem helping me move a heavy wash machine!!! Don't try to use them up/down the stairs as it's not practical. My friends are now asking to borrow them when moving heavy stuff around. This is a great find and I'm extremely happy with them!
Great Product July 2, 2008
My husband and I used them to move a king size mattress, and then my sons used them to move a dryer, and washer. They worked well for all of us.

I probability would not have bought this product if I would have known its limitations. It works well for large items that are taller than their width. The strap length can be adjusted for three discrete lengths, i.e., the adjustments are limited. I used it for a few items, but in my view the straps are not worth buying.
