Has any body found that using wfp makes their hands ache.
I have a mate who's been at it about 3 months and it looks like he's got symptoms of repetitive strain injury (RSI) in his right hand all ready.
And my left hand aches a bit and clicks weird I know, just wondered if it's down to wfp.
Simon.
Mine ached a fair bit at first too but seem a lot better lately. I think I've adjusted the way I work to compensate for it.
To help with hand ache it might help to work as follows. I realise this is not possible on all windows but maybe try holding the pole in a different manner.
The hand you use for lower down the pole, try using it as a "cup" to rest the base of the pole on. The upper hand, try just using it as a guide rather than a gripper. This way, you will not need to grip the pole much with either hand. Try, where reasonably practical, to ensure that vertical movement of the brush on the glass is achieved by leg power i.e. walking back and forth rather than moving arms up and down.
I know, I know. It's easy to say and great in theory. I catch myself constantly using excessive arm motion because it seems quicker and have to force myself to power from the legs.
Also, keep your poles as light as possible - hopefully without breaking the bank.
