Gorilla Gripper isn't for me!

No worries/ rush!

Even though you found it not preferable, pretty soon I'm not going to be able to do the over-the-head method. Arthritis in my shoulder is pretty bad and I'll be needing a shoulder replacement soon. I'm getting old in my 31 years...

I still gotta say- the Gorilla Gripper commercial is still one of the best toold commercials I've seen.

I am not sure how this would make a difference, as you still use your shoulder and the arm with the gorilla gripper.

It's the range of motion that makes a difference. I've had to deal with arthritic bursitis in my shoulders since right after high school. There are times when lifting my upper arm more than 45 degrees from hanging down vertical hurts me lot. Those times I wouldn't even consider putting my hand above my head.

A sling type carrier would probably be better than a gorilla gripper for folks with shoulder problems.
