Amazing product! Really works!

I love the product. This is surely a positive review. Two small negatives, before we go 1) I ordered the 'Camo green' ones. Figured why not. They're not green. They're -brown- with maybe the faintest green tint to the brown. Not a deal breaker. They're moving straps. You're not buying them for fashion, but the green ones are brown. 2) The product came in a plain brown box with just a slip of paper for the product. If you read some of the reviews and the number of people that get bogus or counterfeit ones this is NOT reassuring. You're like "Now wait a minute, are these the real one or fakes??" It's not in product packaging or anything. Just a 6' by 7' slip of paper with images and the instructions. They could at least put it in a box or something to make it look more official. I've even seen news stories on how bad counterfeit ones have hurt the business. If the real ones come like this.... well it's not going to be hard to fake it if people aren't watching out. That said. Those are two MINOR things. The Product works GREAT. And it really does work. We recently had to move down the street a bit. Not far enough to rent a truck but far enough that it was a good 300-400 yards between houses. This meant one wasn't just carrying furniture out the door, onto a truck, driving it, then off the truck and straight into the new house. No we hauled it out and down the street by hand. So all in all we were carrying things a good bit longer than most people when they move. We also had some large items. 6 by 6 marble and steel table. 3 by 5 marble and steel table, King sized bed with all the addons, and a monster of an entertainment center that's every bit of 8 feet long, 5 feet tall and solid wood, weighing about 450lbs. With these straps, and using them correctly, we moved it all with very little problems. We started with the massive entertainment center, which is why we bought the straps. With out them, two of us could barely move it foot away from the wall with out killing ourselves. We figured if the straps worked on it, the rest would be a breeze. My son is 18, and built like a scarecrow. I'm not exactly the hulk. We used the straps got in position and up it went. I won't say moving it was easy. It still has the same mass, but due to leverage and lifting physics, it was much much much easier. The two of us moved it out and down the street. Pausing just once because I needed to move my straps up a few inches. It was easily 5 times easier using these straps. A piece of heavy furniture we had all but written off as "Unmovable, gonna have to destroy it and call it a loss" we moved down the street in under 20 minutes. One rest break of a few seconds in the middle. We've gone on to use them to move the marble and steel tables, couches, washers and dryers. All with out a problem. It may seem a bit fantastical to watch the vids on Youtube and what have you but they DO work if you use them correctly. Watch the videos. Make sure the arm bands are up to your elbows (About an inch from the bend) NOT down near your wrists. Get the lowest one you can use. Brace your hands AGAINST not "On" or "Around" the object you're lifting. Squat. Use your legs not your back, stand up and BOOM. These straps won't turn you into a superhero but the ease with which you can move heavy objects will make you feel like one.

I bought this because I was helping a friend clean out his late mother's storage. I ended up buying about a 1/3 of the estate so I could get the one piece of furniture that I had always wanted. Since my friend lives out of town and it is hard for any of the family to get there, it was mostly me and my 2 teenagers moving everything. I kept the unopened box with the forearm forklift in the car and kept asking my 15 year old son if we needed to get that and try it, but he kept saying "whatever". Well, when we finally got to the massive piece of furniture that I really needed to get out and moved. was quite heavy and bulky, I opened the box and pulled these out. Both kids got excited and had to try it. I did not even have to help except when we laid the furniture on its back in the trailer. It really only took 2 teenagers to lift it and one of those teenager's is my 16 year old daughter who has arthritis. I should have gotten a picture of them carrying it, but will try to post a picture of the furniture. I wish I had had this years ago, when I used to move a lot.

MUST HAVE during moving. Makes lifting heavy objects much easier

Weight is distributed to biceps/shoulders/back instead of relying solely on forearm strength for stability. Allowed my friends and I to keep moving over 8 hours, whereas previously our forearms would tire out after ~2 hours. It can also be used by one person if the object is small but heavy/hard to grip. Just wrap around and stick forearms through all four ends. Additionally, extremely heavy objects (such as washing machines) can be moved with easy but sliding the straps up as far as you can onto your shoulders.

Price: $19.13 in 2017 Allowed me and my wife to lift a full sized freezer up basement steps, across a yard, and into the Uhaul. Would not have been possible without this and the Shoulder Dolly 2-Person Lifting and Moving System. Holding onto the furniture can be a little difficult when we were unsure of which strap loop to put our forearms into. We just took it slow and said "hey, I don't have leverage on this side, let me put my arms into the lower strap." Would purchase again.

So easy even a lazy lady can handle it!

My husband purchased these so we could move a chest freezer from our garage to our basement. Now, let me tell you. I avoid work like the plague. I'm not built for moving stuff. I came up with every excuse I could not to move the freezer. It was when these forearm forklift moving straps arrived that I knew I had lost and was going to have to woman up and help him move the thing. While I can admit, I won't be putting chest freezer moving on my resumé, these did work nicely for a moron who really has no business moving anything. So, if you're moving, these might just be your very best friend!

Makes lifting and moving furniture, appliances, and building supplies almost effortless

I've had these before, and they make moving furniture and building supplies a breeze for nearly anyone. The old pair was borrowed and never found its way home again, and we needed to move a lot of furniture and supplies during our re-model. My wife and I easily moved bedroom furniture, couches, desks, curio cabinets.. you name it... as well as all the lumber, drywall, cabinets, appliances, counter-tops, etc.... without injuring our backs or feeling like we'd just picked-up the whole house!

A must for moving large or heavy furniture

My husband and I decided to purchase a set to load and unload furniture into storage. We have a 10" height difference and it was just the two of us. I had no idea how we were going to lift our sectional sofa without destroying it. We purchased the extender strap along with the Forearm Forklift. They worked great for the sectional sofa, but you don't need the extender to move everything. We used the FF on three separate moving occasions and they've held up great. Works for oversized furniture, heavy dressers, tall bookshelves and mattress and box springs. Navigating inclines and stairs was a bit tricky. But moving without the straps would have been a nightmare.

A great tool to add to your home.

In the right situation, these are incredible! I have found a few inconvenient situations for these - moving a mattress down the stairs, and moving a washing machine onto a pedestal (easier to just grab the handles on the washer). However, if you are just moving something from point A to B (house to moving truck) and there aren’t a lot of steps, tight corners, or stairways involved, these are amazing. Well worth the small cost, and a great thing for a homeowner to have around just in case!

The forearm forklift is awesome for two people moving mattresses

The forearm forklift is awesome for two people moving mattresses. Especially the older mattresses that don't have handles all around. And besides, many handles just seem ready to tear apart if you use them for lifting and holding. I've also liked using these for moving traditional washers & dryers. Basically, if you're preparing for a move, get these and thank me later. A great friend and neighbor that had helped many people move, he turned me onto these. The man has a lot of smarts when it comes to moving and packing a moving truck, so right there you have two people that back these up full heartedly. Happy moving!
