    Already back up to $18.99 ea. It seems that as soon as they realize their selling, they raise the price Sad

    Weight is proportional to mass, and mass can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be converted to energy but that 66% represents enough to wipe out a major city. This thing must be using some radically new tech.

    #2 - It's more a question of using your forearms/Shoulders to assist in the lift.

    231 reviews (mostly positive) on Amazon. They work great on heavy bulky items on the flats, but difficult to use going up/down stairs.

    I'm glad they raised the price this time. Just scored a pair of them for $9.59 (with free shipping) on Ebay.

    #3 thanks for posting. I like the should system for heavy stuff rather than scraping knuckles against door frames and drywall.

    Works good as long as each person has the same elbow height. Otherwise the weight it shifted towards the shorter person.

    #5 Wouldn't the shorter person just need to place their hands higher up on the thing they are moving?

    these and the shoulder-type lifting straps don't work on stairs very well. otherwise, they work just fine
