Sure it would! It is the size of a woman's hand, the plastic is a little hard, other than that, we have used it as a High Five hand ourselves from time to time.

A hand is a hand, but if your employees are open to giving a high five to a fake hand when no one is around, you may want to rethink who your employees are and more importantly, what kind of boss you are.

Well, never though of it being used that way, but I suppose it would be ok for that since it is a life size hand and is of a softer kind of plastic, sure would be germy after several high fives though. If you're going to do that, I would make sure that I cleaned it with something regularly like Clorox wipes or something.

You are confusing product and consumer. The product is neutral. If you purchase it at that price, perhaps you should be questioning whether you yourself are a bit too high.

I only have this model, and don't know what the difference is, but my daughter-in-law keeps taking it away from me because she thinks it's fun to work with. She's typical; not weak, but certainly not an athlete. I think if you have normal strength you'll be fine.

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. ☺��

It might be a stretch. I'm 5'10", sometimes I wear heels, but this puts me right at 6" and I find my positioning, especially wrist and keyboard, aren't as comfortable as standing flat foot. You could always stack it on another platform on your desk, but at that point you might just want to build yourself a custom one. That aside, I've been standing since the start of the year and I love it!

I use the other GiGi waxes with a little warmer made for candles. It is just a warming base and it fits the bottom of the tin jar perfectly. They have them at walmart. It looks like a little warming disk for coffee mugs. I've seen them sold for office/desk use. Going to get the warmer this week only b/c I want it all contained and it will probably heat up much faster. Only used it this way b/c I wasn't sure I would want to continue after my first time. Bought it, got it home and realized I needed a good way to keep it warm while working with it. If you have a walmart, go try one, it sells for less than 5.00.

You don't wont to start high unless you have been gripping for a long long time. If you haven't it's going to take to a long time to close even the 2. If it were me I'd start out at .5 and work my way up. I started at 1 only because I've been gripping for awhile. I've nearly closed the 2 and then I'll go for certification on 3.

I think the best option is always to hang it from the ceiling, if you can. It is the cheapest option and most effective. There are a couple of problems I have experienced with stands. One is that they don't offer a wide range of motion. As you punch or kick, you will not want to stand in the same place. Most trainers will tell you to move around as you throw your strikes. A stand will limit your ability to do that because the legs get in the way. The other problem is that stand tend to move all over the place as you punch them. A lot of people will weight them down with something, but I have found that it takes a lot to get them to stay put. Unfortunately, the ceiling wasn't an option for me, so I bought a wall mount system. I'm pretty happy about it. It still limits my range to 180 degrees, but it's a lot better than the 45 - 80 degrees that I would get with a stand.

How tall is your desk? I use this and mine is not tall enough to stand and work because my desk is about 34" tall. If your desk is taller theyou could probably get my with standing.

Not really. How high is this counter? If your worker is really tall, this will be tall enough for a high counter.

There will always be a bad apple whether its the product or the person reviewing it. Sometimes people just have bad luck with products. But we haven't regretted our purchase for even a second. We love it. Good luck with yours if you get it. Just be sure to do the support on the bottom the proper way and I think you'll be really pleased with it. We may have gone a little overboard on the framing of the base but that's how we roll. Lol

I saw that too, and I think it was just an accident by the Reviewer. BUT - Anyone who reads the review will SEE that it is an error because the customer was quite pleased and very enthusiastic about buying more. Sometimes mistakes happen - and I think that's the situation here. But the overwhelming positive opinions will prevail. This is a popular item.

The stand can be used much shorter that the pic shown, i think the picture is showing it extended up all the way to show how high it will go, hope this helps

I never saw a notice to mount it a minimum of 7 feet off the floor. Mine is mounted about 1.5 feet down from a 10 foot ceiling so with the height of the unit makes it about 7+ feet off the floor. It is mounted over a workbench so there is no danger of hitting it with work pieces moving around, but it seems like the right height for the unit. I would think that you could mount it at any height that would make sure you don't hit it with moving your work pieces around. As for operating the unit, it seems to me that the closer you can place it to the source of dust and airborne particulates, is the best place to mount it.

Why would you want this so high? Thinking of hanging lights or what? You would have to modify it by buying a smaller size and use the pole from it inside of this larger one and use a pin to secure it when at a desirable height. Or there are other more expensive stands that I know can adjust 1 0r 2 feet taller than this one.Hope this was helpful.

I found this stand was not tall enough to meet the ergonomic needs for 4 out 5 people in my office. We had to purchase additional stands to put underneath to get the line of site correct. There are other cheaper, taller, and fully articulating stands one could buy.

Ergonomically, It is not a standing height table. I use it at maximum extension while sitting. Standing, You would be looking down and your arms would be down to type. It is not designed for standing. However, you can use it standing I'm 5'9 and do not have to bend over to reach the keyboard. Again, not likely good for working long periods.
