Review of Above All Co. L74995CN Forearm Forklift Lifting Straps

I try to filter out the hype that sometimes ends up in reviews on this site - but the reviews on this product seemed to have a bit of truth to them so I ordered them.I am very impressed; these really do help out.

One of the biggest challenges I often have when working around the house is moving large items by myself.My wife is always willing to try and help but her will is sometimes larger than her muscles.

Now, these make it much easier for us.Last weekend, we used these to move a washer and dryer from one end of the basement to the other.No problem at all.Before using these, I would have struggled to get this done but these straps made it very easy for her to help me and we got the job done quickly and probably much more safely.It was so easy I was almost laughing.

Enough said... these lived up the hype.I'm very glad to own them.

Above All Co. The Forearm Forklift moving straps were designed in 1997 by a professional mover who is still very active in the industry. After many years "on the truck" he felt compelled to invent a tool that actually eliminated the risk of floor damage. A claim that only the Forearm Forklift can make since the dolly and hand truck require the rolling of wheels on your sensitive floors.

Review of Marathon Industries 10-Inch Flat Free Hand Truck Tire

I had a problem with the zerk fittings. The hub is too thin for the zerk threads. You have at the most 1/2 thread engagement. When I pulled my grease gun back the fitting came with it.

Review of Shoulder Dolly LD1000 2-Person Lifting System

I used the Shoulder Dolly system to help my son and his family move.At first there was a lot of resistance to the new gadget, but by the 3rd heavy walnut chest of drawers, it was get the "strappie thing" and let's move this beast.A simple system that works extremely well.Lift with your legs/thighs and carry the weight evenly across your shoulders and not your arms and biceps.Everyone who tried it said "where do I get one, I will not move heavy furniture without it ! "Highly recommended.Follow Up: (Sept '05) bought my second set, my son would not give up the set he used to move with.I will not move furniture without one again !

Review of Milwaukee Hand Truck - 1000-Lb. Capacity, P-Handle, Model# 49977

If you need a LARGE hand truck, this one is excellent.I purchased this to move rocks around my property when building a rock retaining wall.

It is WIDE (2 ft) and TALL (>5 ft) and has a very large base and integrated wheel fenders/protectors.The tires are much bigger than a typical hand truck.Rolls easily over rough terrain.

As long as you don't intend to use it in your house or go through interior doors with it, this is well worth the price.

The shipping brings it up to around $150.I think it will last forever.It is at least twice as good than the plastic "600 pound" (yeah right) variety from the home improvement store.The metal wheels are nice and it has knobby treads.

I was able to move 300 pound boulders with ease.

Review of Master Lock 3041DAT SteelCor Bungee Cords with Organizer, 10-Pack

I bought these for my husband, who just purchased his first pickup truck.

He likes the lengths they come in, that they are all the same color, and that they come on a solid plastic holder you can store them on.

The cords are sturdy, and the hooks are solid and don't feel like they'll unbend any time soon (if ever).

All in all, a successful gift.
