Festool gave me the ExoActive exoskeleton to try it out and make some videos about it! The ExoActive is an exoskeleton which gives you extra strength when working overhead and with your arms. This device is perfect for woodworkers, construction workers, painters, and in this video I give you a first look at the Festool ExoActive so you can decide if you would like to buy it!
This video is a complete beginners guide to setting up and operating the Festool ExoActive!

@FennahMakes 11 месяцев назад

I think so as well!

@cuebj 10 месяцев назад

Age 68. Two years ago, I started doing a few deep pressups on the hour, most hours. Since then, I've been able to work overhead all day, turn to look backwards on bicycle like when I was younger, etc. Swinging kettle weights up to 16kg about 50 swings from one hand to the other plus sone symmetrical 2-handed lifting above head gives me all the strength and flexibility I need. Helps my walking gait. At my age doing relatively heavy DIY jobs, this tool is not for my wallet. Looks fun though

@FennahMakes 9 месяцев назад

@markproulx1472 Год назад

I use a heavy power pruner to limb trees on our property. This could really make using it far less fatiguing.

@FennahMakes Год назад

Yes it would! If I was you I would go and check it out once it’s available on the market! It’s quite an investment (in Europe it will sell for around €2800 ex vat) but if it saves your back? What do you think?

@cuebj 10 месяцев назад

Probably better to get upper body fit. Plenty of videos for deep pressups (just 5 on the hour most hours) swinging kettle weights, and holding plank. Barely fifteen minutes a day total. Age 68, I've done it for 2 years. Despite being runner, cyclist, swimmer for decades, wish I'd done this decades ago. Huge benefits for working overhead, walking better, etc

@SM-uj1ep Год назад

@@FennahMakes fun fact. Few years back I was looking for something from Makita as most of my tools are Makita. And I was browsing on the internet and landed on Japanese website where obviously I couldn’t understand anything but there were drawings with tools from Makita. It was looking all genuine. That was ages ago but some of the tools I have seen there were showing tools that came out later on for example coffee machine and kettle. One of the drawings was showing exo skeleton project which I believe never came to life but it’s interesting to see that they were thinking about it. It was showing all the details and how to wear it. I will link it here when I find it

You have to push the button with one hand while lifting the weight with the other? But without the suit you could use both hands instead?

No you turn it on before operation and select the ‘zone’ you want it to work in. You can use both hands after it’s turned on!

The weight is on your back and borne by your waist. And $3000 is a lot less than rotator cuff surgery. I know it looks weird and I’m a tough old tradesman, but if there’s no need to work our bodies until they’re broken, why would we. It’s great that the health and we’ll being of laborers is finally being respected.
