Given the threads recently relating to back pain and injuries this is worth a look.

Not sure if anyone on here uses these dodads.
Came across them on a site a few days ago and thought what a fookin great idea.
They come in various sizes to cover differing cylinder sizes.
Got onto the office to get them ordered.

Good idea with some problems, need an extra person who is willing to help.
Useless for stairways and ladders.
They are looking for European distributors, hurry.

I was given one of those gas grabbers after the World Skills and
although they are very well designed and do actually work they
have one very basic problem.......
You need the correct one for the cylinder you are carrying and there
are quite a few different cylinder sizes, so ensure you get the correct one.
I can't remember ever using it.
N2 bottles now mostly have handles at the top and all refrigerant cylinders do.

gday stufus our cylinders are about 400 mm diameter about a metre tall,works a treat.the style thats depicted was phased out centuries ago,use to lug em around as an apprentice.the squatter cylinders are easier and more practical to manage imo.
