I have the sure hands overhead lift, but do not use the harness. I have had both of my hip joints removed due to both of them fusing, and I made my own harness. If anyone has seen a helicopter rescue on television, the harness that they use is simply a padded strap that one that would slide over their head. That is how I made my harness. I took one inch strap, put a piece of the black foam pipe insulation, covered that with a padded insert and put a cover on it. It does put all the weight on the shoulders and armpits, but I have been using it for 11 years and have had no problems, and my weight is around 225 pounds. Works for me! I don't need to get in an out of a harness, so it's quicker, and I believe less chance of sitting wrong.
