Default plaster stilts

do any of you use these stilts more for the dry liners but being an electrician think they may be good when working on low ceiling height

looking at some that go from 18-30".

Do you hurt if you wear them for a few hours?

Is it easy to keep your balance on them?

Can you bend over and pick stuff up off the floor or not?

cheers

Not unless you use the optional arm extenders.

Otherwise your arms would be dragging on the floor now..

Seen them used, it looks like child's play but I beleive you need hours of practice to stay on them AND work on something at the same time.

You may have to prove your competance on them before a site will let you use them, Health and safety of yourself AND others.

And no way would you be able to reach the floor, try standing at the top of some stairs now and see how far you can reach down.
