The unnecessarily complicated plastic and Velcro brace broke on first use at the weak point of the slot for the Velcro straps. A really poor design for what should be simple, strong brace on this otherwise useful product. Puzzling, when it would be easy to design one that would be both better and less expensive.
I’m over 70 and hate trimming. Wish I had found this years ago. It shows m me to stands more upright, reducing stress on back and knees. Takes a little bit to get it in the right spot fire your height and arm length. If your right handed, place the grip slightly left of center around 11:00. Improves freedom of motion.
I have to say that this product has decreased my back pain. I use a trimmer daily for hours and hours. the last several years I've had a problem with my back that is at its worse when using a trimmer. So much so that a couple of years ago i started using a strap and reprogramed myself to use a trimmer differently but still efficient. I like the fact that I can stand up straighter. Being able to adjust this handle around with just a quick release is awesome. This in combination with using a strap is my jam. The only thing i don't like about it is that the secondary support could have been made out of metal as well instead of plastic and Velcro but in the end that piece is that important just added security. Overall great product for people with sore or easily irritated back bones.
The media could not be loaded.Pretty easy to install, just gotta figure out what position works best for you.
It is what I needed,thanks
Still working fine. Does take a lot of strain off my back and arms. I would definitely recommend this item. Well built and was able to get customer service on the phone , when I called to make sure I was setting it up correctly. There are a lot of lookalike handles on Amazon , I’m not sure of their quality..
I’m a tall person and the extra length helps my back so much. I’m not constantly bending over to weed eat!
It takes a while to figure out how to attach and position it to the shaft. Be patient. You will find it outwhen its comfortable for you. Good Product.
Love this addition to my weedeater! Can anybody tell me what sample string came with this? It can't be black diamond?! I've used black diamond and this was neon with a good core. The best string I've ever used! If somebody could please let me know, I'd like to buy a 5lb spool of it!
First, I grew up landscaping- and have used most of the “gadgets” out there.Two issues here: you will still need a harness for your weed whacker, otherwise still carrying all the weight and the handle will not be all you need. The saw tooth handle grip does not hold it tight enough and wobbles. There should be a wing nut or hex screw to allow a tool to tighten, not the knob providedOtherwise, a nice addition especially if you are doing a large lot.
I attached this item to my weed eater. Before I bought this, every time I used the weed eater it wouldn't be long before I had discomfort in my lower back. Since I've installed this I can stand straight and lower back discomfort is no more.I don't have photo with installed, but the installation instructions included were very helpful.I recommend it.
Helped my lower back, could tell a big difference after first use.
Why I procrastinated so long to purchase this is beyond me…. Take your weed-eating tasks to the next level of comfort and functionality….. BUY IT!
With this handle, the weed eater is balanced and takes the stress off your back.
I like the customer service
Works better than the original. A must have in this industry. Saves the back.
Easy install easy to use
The best I ever use since I used it a lot on the job never felt any back pain ever again
It’s take a bit to get adjusted to the right spot . When you do it’s good not to have the back pain from weedeating for 6 hours straight
This is probably one of my favorite devices I've ever purchased. Definitely a back saver. Wish I had this years ago
I like the product so far, do not like the name. Darwin was wrong, and no modern scientist would disagree with me. The jury is still out on the plastic and Velcro stabilizer, and whether it will hold up over time. For the price I expect this accessory to last a couple of seasons minimum, three if taken care of. This is season number 1. I'll be back to report in a year.
My husband no longer comes in after weed eating complaining of his back hurting. He is now standing up straight (6’ 1”) when weed eating.
It's a life saver for tall guys! Makes trimming a breeze and saves your back!
It seemed to be a bit complicated to install and fitment will possibly be ongoing for a while. I was happy with the lack of strain and straight posture
My order was received quickly and fully intact. Installation is a breeze, even though I had to turn the handle in the opposite direction due to being a lefty. Even with that slight alteration, this works perfectly, and will most certainly improve your working posture. The byproduct of being able to work fully upright is longevity and endurance during the work day. Great product! Now I just need to be able to fund implementing these on my other pieces of equipment.
