Men: Does this work well for the reach around method?

It increase the reach by several inches. However you want to reach works. You attach the TP to and it will go where you want it to go.

I have very little muscle strength over my entire body so to reach from the side and go back and forth would be almost impossible for me. As is putting the paper on the tool and wiping from the front is hard also because I cannot get far enough back underneath me. If the handle was longer it then may work for me also the release button was hard for me. I saw on line a similar unit with a extension to make the handle longer. To put this in perspective I am not overweight I am 5'7" and 165 lbs. Again my disease is a deterioration of ALL my skeletal muscle. I hope this helps you. Carl

I'm a man and it's been working that way for me for more than 5 years. Arthritis in my back prevents me from being able to twist around far enough. This tool, in my opinion, is the best design out there.

I think it could benefit men or women. Men would probably want a heavier kettlebell since typically they have greater upper body strength.

Yes, works great for general "manscaping". It trims very closely with the guard removed.

It doesn't come all the way around but I do not think it is designed to. Have no fear...it works!

I have shoulder length and works for me. I love it and I can tell when I forget to use it. Trying it is worth a shot!

I don't believe that's accurate it goes by arm movement. You can try and compare results.

I used it exclusively for picking up women. If you have men trapped in your walls you may want to hire a contractor and alert the local news.

We have been pulling by hand,- we go from camp site to dump station............ so guess it would depend on how far that would be for you.. Safe isn't an issue. More, how much energy do you have. Full it is heavy. The additional handle that you can buy is definitly worth it as it enables one to stand straight rather than stoop. It is a good product. They say one can pull behind car/truck as well. We have never had that great of a distance where we felt it necessary. We do like it. And would buy again.

Yes, either hand will work! When you use wiggle side to side as you move along the coconut. It will make it easier. It will be a breeze for a man, a woman its a little tougher, but I'm not as strong as i used to be. :)

I have lower back spine surgery and problems with bending. I use this mostly outside to pick things up in the yard. No doubt it would also help in the house to get out items from lower cabinets I would think. It grips very well. However, if you have problems with squeezing your hands to use the handles at the top, not sure this would help. I love mine and my husband got one as well.

If the other arm can work it, then it might be useful to pick up items slightly out of reach or high up.

It's not really set up for them, no. If you are a smaller frame guy u can kinda cheat and make it work. I personally use dumbells for them.

I have broad shoulders so for me it goes from about an inch out from each side of my spine out to just the inside if my shoulder blades. It does work wonders on the tough knots that get under the inner edge of my shoulder blades. It is not wide enough at least for me to get what I would call the back side of my shoulders out towards the joint if that is what you are asking.

You turn it around--It can be used for your arms and legs forward and backwards by simply turning it around. It's good for improving your range of motion. I had a stroke and I love using it to keep my arm and leg limber.

Not really. It's more of a forward and backwards movement, not for circular movement. It's a little tough but it might be due to my wooden floors.

With one of these things and 2 motivated men you could move a tank...and not throw your back out. It completely facilitates lifting the right way... WITH YOUR LEGS. Take the time to make the proper adjustments to the device, so it fits both lifters comfortably, and you'll be good to go.

Yes---It is very easy to "pick-up" the basic movements. There is a slightly shorter (less expensive) 4' version than the 5' one I purchased that might be worth looking at. Good luck!
