better than expected

I wish I would have discovered these many years earlier, because they work amazing. I bought the 4 pack so I could give them to my relatives. I've used them a number of times, either for really heavy things: so I don't have to bend down to get them off the ground; awkward things: which don't have good places to hold on; or things normally requiring two people: like a lazy-boy chair I wanted to move downstairs - no way I could have done it alone without them. Actually, I've done a number of items alone, that just wouldn't be possible without these straps. It's like they give you another pair of hands: the straps do the lifting, while your hands are free to guide the load. Very simple, yet so useful!

These straps are sturdy and add strength to any moving task.

Several people who ordered the single pair of these complained that they received cheap, thin (2") knock-offs. The ones I received in this 4-pack are definitely the real thing, 3" wide, and shipped in the original box with Forearm Forklift on the return address label. Also, I didn't notice that this was a pack of four PAIRS, not four straps. Eight straps for $35 is quite a bargain compared to the $20 price for 2 straps.

I got these for my commercial moving company so they get used daily. They are well manufactured with no mis-stitched edges or anything like that. For commercial use, they will last about 8 months, for the casual user, probably forever.
