Princess Auto has this Shoulder Dolly on clearance $24.03. I have seen people use these types of straps. Really comes in handy. Can sign up and login to Princess Auto site and it will state if there's stock at your local store. Can purchase online but have to pay for shipping.
I have had a set of these from PA for about eight years now. Used them at least a dozen times. Can be a little fiddly to get the strap length right because to get enough height while carrying you have to crouch down initially. That and you have to learn how to carry tall items like a fridge going up and down stairs. But they are worth every penny.
I bought the Forearn Forklift ones at CT when I had to move a few big items out of a basement. It's been worth every cent even though I paid full price of $50.
The only thing I don't like about this one is that their is only a bottom single strap on the bottom. Unless if I'm seeing the picture wrong, I would spend the money for the double strap.

Is it indeed very fiddly to use. But it's worth it as it's so much easier to move things, especially big thing with no grip.
Now, if there were an option that offers a reliable quick adjust on the strap it would be perfect. Emphasis on reliable.
Sorry what? Release the belt tension, tip the buckle at an angle. Change the belt length and re-tighten the belt. I have never had the belt slip to date.

I’m just saying that the metal hardware looks pretty light from the picture. If you have this, would you please comment on the actual quality.
The fact that it hasn’t failed yet provides no assurance unless you have used dozens of these over thousands of moves.

The buckle is heavy duty and I have no fears of it failing. Mind you I am talking about this specific model "Shoulderdolly" not some cheap knockoff.
