They make it, yes. Sex machine. There are videos. Sorry that you need it, though. Also, she doesn't need you to use it, so you might be getting replaced. Just get her a deep tissue massager. It's like a jackhammer for her lady bits.
I look at my ability to make an item like this as a cost consideration to purchase. As an old guy and a toolroom machinist with wiped out shoulders, this tool is not overpriced in todays market.
It doesn't take long at all to feel the strain when it's held overhead or out from the body, even with something that seems light like a drill! With the Exo I can seriously hold it out there for as long as I want, was great when installing a ceiling fan recently! (I forgot to include that footage)
I could see a good use for this with overhead prunning. Although i do disagree with you last statement, i dont think the benefit is productivity, it would help yes. I think the long term benefit is not breaking your body over 20 to 40 years. Grandfather was a carpenter from the age of 14, by 50 his body was broken, he could still work, but the toll was massive. Tools like this will help the younger generation, especially men, make it into old age much healthier than before.
I'm sure I'm not as bad as your grandfather was because I started trade later in life, but at 39 my body is half broken and I'm about to start a career felling trees😂. I'm at the point where I just have to hope these things come down in price in the next 10 years before I'm really hurting
They do help with productivity because you are not as fatigued so soon in the day. It's like the introduction of cordless tools when everyone was still using pneumatic or corded tools.
Rotary cuff surgery is almost guaranteed at your age with your line of work. I've always liked the idea of augmented humans vs full automation when it comes to being more efficient. For me I think a 8' tower that can be a power source, be used to suspend tools from and moves with you via gestures or program would provide benefit. It then can be tipped back like a 2 wheel cart to be moved more freely. Considering how much Milwaukee and others charge for a plastic toolbox, you'd think it could automatically move with you as a mobile station.
Great way to put it. So many comments about how expensive this is, and it ain't cheap (I mean it is Festool after all), but for that price it honestly seems damn reasonable for someone working overhead daily.
I worked as a painter during breaks from school, so only for a few weeks at a time, for a few months in total. I think the neck and shoulder problems I have were definitely worsened by the overhead work. Something like this will be great for those who can afford it. I love the product and it’s amazing how good exoskeletons are already, but I can’t wait to see them get even better and more affordable so more people can benefit from them. I’ve just started my career as a ski instructor, and my knees already hurt. Lower body assistance will likely be able to help me a lot as I get older.
I wish I had one 20 years ago. I delegate anything that this would help with these days. Still, there are still those times now where it would probably help with feeling less shredded after a day doing something I really shouldn't be doing anymore. This would be great with two, fully functional, additional arms with hands. A set like this for legs would be nice.
How could people ask if it’s going to make you weak? I work at a desk all day and never put my arms above my head or lift anything. I haven’t totally atrophied yet.
Good point! It's for sure a way to just keep you from tiring and even possible injuries from strained muscles when working and lifting. Weaker muscles? Not going to happen but I do hear it a lot!
I can definitely see tapers use this for holding poles with mud boxes, taping ceilings and sanding with a pole sander, maybe sheetrock hanging. Having a hard time imagining other trades using that
Painters rolling ceilings, electricians wiring in ceilings installing can lights and fans, plumbers running lines in ceilings, assembly line workers, gutter installers the list is much longer once you start thinking about it and try it out
Recently did some work on the ceiling, and damn this is the tool for that. I can only hope we get a less expensive version from the prosumer tool makers at a more affordable price.
I hope in 30 years they have full body versions. It would be cool if they had special charging recliner chairs made for em to charge and dismount easier.
Any electrician that has hung ceiling lights for a day straight needs this. Festool will fight the world though to make sure to protect their patent from anyone making anything similar.
I was recently able to hold a treated 2x12x12 overhead in the center while my son fastened, he had the wrong bit and had to get down the ladder and back up I was able to hold it about 45 sec overhead no problem. It weighs close to the same as drywall
Yes and if you had to hold them in place it would help also, I really found it helpful when installing a ceiling fan, holding my arms up while connecting and wiring it in. It made it so much more comfortable
Next time when you buy tools at your favorite tool-store (wearing this): The CXS 18 cordless drill . The AGC cordless plasma angle grinder in the 40 volt range. Or when you pick up your co-worker (wearing this): Come with me if you want to work.
Seems like it could be a game changer. But will employers adopt this? I doubt it for now, but hopefully in the future. Unions could help push for it maybe.
I watched a video on "frame", about auto factory production lines. I saw a couple of these in the video and had no idea what it was. If I remember it was a US manufacturer. Have not been able to find it.
If you're doing overhead work all day, this is a no brainer. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't done constant overhead work lol $3500 is nothing for your health and it's a tax write off
40 plus yrs painting 30 plus yrs paint contracting this is no great expense high end airless sprayer 4000 to 6000 the whole time i have been painting i always said i could out work any ten men at 63 with that tool i believe i could do that now
Oh, I forgot to ask. Im a disabled Veteran and i have back issues. Insee that thisnhas a lukbar pad and im assuming that is for leverage and support of the machine., but does this give you support or assist with lifting or holding your arms straight out in front of you, like holding and handing or stacking boxes?
Yes it gives support at waist up mid chest up or shoulder up, it does support your arms right over elbow and uses lumbar to counter balance the weight or push off from if that makes sense. I never feel the extra weight against my lower back however
My job bought lower body lift skeletons from German bionics. Literally nobody uses them and we wasted thousands. This would probably be a bit more helpful but there no way they’d spend even more money with how much a failure the last ones were.
I feel like it would be impossible to wear with a harness climbing trees with ropes or maybe it would take some practice. But I bet this would put 10 years on my career and my body's already falling apart at 39
I throw propane cylinders 12 to 14 hour days. Approx 24000 pounds worth a day..12 tons I'm 61 and have6 years left of doing this am starting my 7th year and surprised I have no problems yet Would this help?

It's hard to fully quantify it but best way to explain is for lifting over your waist you will for sure see a benefit. Check your area for places that sell the exoskeleton and you can try it out and see if it will help for sure before investing in it.
I guess on your back it stays a little cleaner, I have only used it for a couple months, all the material type things do come off and can go in the washing machine but I haven't needed to do that yet
I don't think it has a rating for waterproof but I wouldn't be too worried if I was working with it in the rain the battery mount is on the bottom maybe for that reason.
Buy Makita, it is the closest thing. But you are right, these tools are not for the average, i usually see them in the hands of super specialized trades, that make more money and precision and detailed work is needed.
@@matthewkesterson Sarcasm is the fine art of saying something that sounds clever but leaves everyone else wondering if you're serious.. you failed on clever part
Straps around my shoulders and waist toting something on my back is counterproductive for me. I can see this for the old worn out slow guys doing minor tasks but for real tradesmen that hustle to get the job done because they're paid piece this is a no go
I had the same initial thoughts, it's fairly light and have worn and worked with it the entire day where I was working overhead. For mixed tasks it is not as beneficial your correct.
Actually no, it provides up to 11 pounds of assistance depending on the settings and Festool did a lot of research with experts to determine the amount of weight that would ensure muscle atrophy wasn't an issue.
@@fultonfinewoodworks think about it what you just said. If you reduce the capacity to lift 11lbs over a duration of time, you will LOOSE that ability in the future due to assistance of that machine. It is asinine to think otherwise..
@@originalschmidI think you are caught up on the lifting concept, think more like paint rolling or sanding a ceiling, just taking some of the strain off, offsetting weight of the tool - people much smarter than you and I designed it with muscle atrophy in mind. I went to Germany have talked to the guys who designed it last summer. They know what they are doing
Interesting how you ensured there's Festool logos in every frame of a 'review'. Almost as if guaranteed commissions isn't any different than a paid video.
Festool doesn't pay anyone commissions, and I wasn't paid for this video. Would be awesome if they did because I am a big fan of the tool brand and promote them regularly.
A business can't survive by just overpricing things, they celebrate 100 years in business next year so they are doing something right. Making high quality tools that address problems and help to get things done.
Everyone is not the customer for this, if this triggers you, it's only going to get worse. Many companies are rolling out tech to change the way we work and those open to new ideas will benefit from it
I spend more time clicking "do not recommend channel" than I do spend watching videos. RUclips is pretty much nothing but a bunch of mindless crap today.
I encourage you to make some videos yourself, you will not think that way any longer. It's a lot of work, clicking not recommend is not. So glad many have found this video valuable.

Well after 3 bad years of shoulder injurys and neck my dominate right arm is failing me something like this would make my life easier
For sure can take the load off!

Just in general, having a tool cart that follows you (or is able to be called to you) would be so nice.
They made it already!
1.75 an hour to buy one annually @ 2000 hours a year. Totally worth it
Great way to put it. So many comments about how expensive this is, and it ain't cheap (I mean it is Festool after all), but for that price it honestly seems damn reasonable for someone working overhead daily.
But is there a Bidet feature?
This is for upper body. Now if there's a kit for the legs, then that's a fair ask

It's nice, but I think I'm going to wait for the endoskeleton model that's being released next spring.
I am not aware of a second model coming out, this one was just released in Europe last year.

I wish I had one 20 years ago.

Hilti has a similar eco skeleton
I think these can also pay out in the long run with less injuries and repetative motion wear and tear on our bodies.
For sure a benefit without a doubt
What happens to your arm when something falls from above and you got that set to max help? Let's see some tests!
That is actually very well priced and reasonable. Nice system!
Agreed!
Seems like adjusting it would be more time consuming than just doing the task.
Nice part is you only have to do that once, then you just put it on like a back pack
How many push ups can you do with that on now?
I need to try that out
Does it have an autoerotic pilot setting?
I can’t believe this is an actual product. What are you doing with your brand festool?!
This is not a tool for everyone, but those who work in a lot of lifting and overhead work will find this life changing
great overview video ronnie!
Thanks!

With one hand can I hold a 1/2" 4X8 drywall sheet over my head to mount it to the ceiling with this tool?
