Exactly! I wore compression sleeves for years when I was doing a lot of overhead pruning. That constant buzz from the tools goes right up your arms. The sleeves don't just keep you warm, they really do dampen that vibration. I found my forearms didn't get as tight and sore by the end of the day. It's a simple fix for a problem that can really wear you down over time.

Isn't the acidity what really keeps them safe though? I've had pickles float for months and they taste great, no mold. Weights just add extra stuff to clean and aren't always needed.

Seriously? That damage is for life.
