Now here's a good piece of kit.
A bit expensive at £50 but does the job.
Not sure about the box it came in and no comments about the operator. Dog's cute though!!

Sorry....... But £1.99 from Lidl.... I bought 2 :-X
-
Are they any good Colin?
-
Does the trick yeah.... I might actually have the handle bent upwards at the wheels for more sofa height though!
-
I brought one when i saw it in one of your previous posts colin, bargain ;D
-
That's my wife's hand in the picture in case you're thinking "I have a woman's hands".... ;D My wife's looked at the photo and decided we need a new sofa.... So ultimately my punishment for showing a cheaper furniture lifter's gonna cost me a bloody fortune now ;D
-
you're right about the angle of the front end though, i would definatley get more bend on that, are they permanently for sale at lidle?

Cheap skates, get the real thing you bunch of penny pinchers!!! ;D
Anyway, glad to see some of you young ones are using a similar thing and it's not something only available in a Saga brochure. ;D

No, I know they were on fleabay for £9.99.... Someone pinched my idea ;D
-
Are they used to get the 10p that had rolled under the sofa ;D
-
£1.99 is a bit steep. Old crow bar and a block of wood will do the job.
-
So what do you use them for. Whats wrong with your arms :)
-
John,
We need them to lift up the edges of heavy settees so we can place STICKY TABS under them, or even FOAM BLOCKS (only available from RESTORMATE!!! ;) ;D
-
I have an arm and a hand which does exactly the same thing ;D
-
opposite of a yorkie bar if you ask me ;) ;D

Dunno Derek, never tried to eat it ;D ;D ;D
-
walking through town today and i saw them in 2 shop windows, help the aged and miss selfridges ;D
i was in the "fit the best fit everest" shop today, assistant said "can i help you" i said "no mate, i'm just window shopping" ;D
well i thought it was funny.

Taxi for Derek, someone ;D

Just lift the sofa you bunch of nancy boys.

Get tool from van, lift sofa, place tab underneath, do this in 4 corners, leave tool behind... think I'll stick with the arms
-
Cheaper to hire four Polish guys.
Just remember to pick them up the next day. ;D
-
This topic really is pathetic ;) I mean to pay £50.00 for this nonsense is laughable. Even going to lidl for £1.99 takes the p.
Guys, you know those big long dangly things coming out of your shoulders....damng use them!!
-
All you " tough guys " won't be so tough after another ten years of lifting / twisting / straining. If an aid comes along that makes life easier use it.
If a bed settee needs two hands to lift and you're on your own these little gadgets are great.
All the " tough guys " I grew up with are mostly wrecked with arthritis or dead !
This includes me ( not quite dead ) but we showed off as young men by lifting blacksmiths anvils, logs and large rocks. We knew nothing about arthritis, thought we were invincible !!
-
Anything to make life easier, work smart, and keep working longer.
I often refuse to move some items just not worth risk to back.

Not at £50 but defo at £1.99, or even a tenner.
Thats the trouble with Lidl/Aldi - they sell the stock and not back in again till goodness knows when.
-
i prefer to lift using my finely toned biceps...that way i sell more tickets to the gun show!
;D

(doing press ups) 7.....8......9......(enter the women) 997......998.......999.......1000
