This is just another Freeloader Marketing Forever scheme Brokum dreamt up
I don't want to beat up Yokum.
as we talked about previously, there may very well be some old wandslingers with wrist, thumb/hand issues that will get some relief for a year or two..or til the new stress points wear....AND it's not a matter of "if", but
when
Fortunately, hand/wrist issues beyond minor annoyance (waking up in the middle of the night with numb hands after a hard week) isn't something that's ailed/caused pain/arthritis for me..
but i know others like Dave and if i recall Marty mentioning similar hand issues.
those guys may get some relief for awhile
Don't see what it would do for guys like me where 20 years of pushing a wand put the hurt on the
shoulders, not so much wrists/hands.
BEST thing that help shoulder wear are
GLIDES....what a wonderful thing they are
My posture has always been good, back is sound , but also learned LONG ago to wand standing upright
(I see some wanding styles and see why many operators have
bad backs)
ideally, the best thing is grow the biz to get off the truck, at minimum, charge enough to be able to keep a solid wingman on the van to share the wand load every day and/or send the wingman out by himself a day or two week (like schedule nothijg but empties one or two days a week) so you get some down time from physical labor
along with that, (and/or in lieu of) LEARN TO WAND FROM
BOTH SIDES., stand upright, use different tools at times too (like RE and encRap when appropriate)
You young bucks in your prime tearing it now, pay attention to me...you'll will be fiddy-something before you know it...learn NOW to work "smart"
You can't avoid wearing out, but you can do much to not accelerate/exacerbate it
