Not just window cleaning but thinking about several repetitive shoulder use occupations I wonder if it will help with RSI issues and for example occasional use on specific jobs.

If I had a day's work regularly doing a block of say 5 storey flats with 40 - 60ft poles for the highest floors I would definitely consider it.

In a previous life I worked on suspended ceilings from time to time and if your arms are above your head much of the day I can see a benefit.

For most everyday window cleaners I can't see it being any use as any job less than two hours at high level might not warrant its use.

We do blocks of flats 6-7 storey every 6 weeks  ime 60 and use a 75 foot pole for half a day at a time ,yes it’s harder work than 2 storey but don’t find it an issue  all the staff are the same  no one complains they just get on with it , I think the younger generation are becoming weak and lazy , I certainly wouldn’t entertain that contraption if I found the work to hard I would give the jobs we do up I feel it’s good exercise I certainly don’t need to go to the gym and am far stronger than many who do 😂😂😂

Absolutely - I have a guy he's 28 - 6 foot 2 - plays rugby and has done door bouncer work he had a 3 hr s/f/g job last Friday - Monday rings in sick - I was too tired doing that job - it really was a 2 man job you know
 

I don't think he's going to last - were not even busy, busy yet

He's testing you and obviously conscious of how much physical effort he feels your job is worth. I'd watch that one if I was you, make sure his attitude doesn't rub off on other members of staff who  are grafters

A real game changer ?…. On a 3 storey building  I don’t think so , by the time he’s strapped that on his arms and back we would have finished that and be on to the next job , I don’t see it catching on in this country .

Think they are called belays or something like that

Certainly cuts out RSI 

" It probable will but some people  DON'T GET IT".
Until it affects  them later down the track.
But then it's too late to fix the RSI.

Yes they are - rock climbers use them so if you are stood at the bottom of a cliff and looking up a lot or using ropes it saves on neck strain. I have a set that clip to my glasses so that when I am -say- down the side of a Victorian 4 storey house I can work the top and third floor without stretching my neck back. I also use them on a three storey commercial too.

I did try a pair at a window cleaning show but didn’t like them
