Hipa 4119 710 9001 String Trimmer Shoulder Strap Full Harness Universal Kit for Sthil FS, KM Series Weedeater Weedwacker Brush Cutter Parts

I purchased this with no incentive, reimbursement, or recommendation. I was just doing what I normally do, and purchasing things I don't really need on Amazon. However, this ended up being an incredible investment.This is an inexpensive product that has changed my yard maintenance. I now consider it a necessary part of my lawn care routine. We have a 3 acre yard, and holding the weed whacker for that long can turn an easy job into a day-ender.ADJUSTABILITY: The straps and adjustments are a little difficult to figure out at first, but like with anything, you just need to play around with it to figure it out. Once you have it configured, you shouldn't need toworry about it again unless you will have multiple users.QUALITY: This is made of heavy duty strap materials and hard plastic. It appears to be of high quality and should last for at least the life of my tool.COMPATIBILITY: I have only used this with my Stihl trimmer, model FS 56 RC-E. It has a hole to clip a shoulder sling to, and this chest harness has a hook that perfectly fits into that hole.USE: After putting on the chest harness, clip in the trimmer. I recommend starting the trimmer prior to clipping in. After attaching the trimmer, adjust straps so that the trimmer weight is distributed over both shoulders. You want it at a height so that you can easily sweep the ground with the trimmer line parallel with the ground. Grab the trimmer as normal, and begin trimming. Rather than using your arms to move the trimmer, you can use the natural momentum of a slow stroll to sweep the trimmer head from left to right across a 4 ft path. Alternatively, you can hold the trimmer steady to trim along an edge as you quickly walk, making quick, easy work of an overgrown sidewalk or driveway edge.It is also possible to trim higher up than ground level, like on a retaining wall with weeds growing from it. The positioning of the hole on Stihl trimmers is near its center of gravity, so a light pull on the handle raises the trimmer head without needing to support the weight of the engine compartment as well.OVERALL: At the price listed, this is a no brainer. If you have a Stihl trimmer, just buy it. You won't regret it. And if you do, return it. No risk, high reward - in economics, they call this a solid investment opportunity. (Full disclosure - I have no idea if they actually use that term or much about economics in general, but I do think you should buy this thing.)

Great value for the money. Will adjust to any frame - I'm a woman to fit is an issue. I use a heavy, commercial grade weed eater - the old harness I bought with it finally broke. It was like a backpack, distributed weight across both shoulders and hips - I was unable to find anything like it. Got this one in the interim. It's ok. Since it's a sling style, it does not distribute the weight. If my weed eater was light and I only used it for light duty 30 minutes or so, I'm sure it would be fine. But I weed eat steep banks, ditch lines, creek banks for 2-3 hours at a time so the sling twists my back, makes upper back and arms sore because more lifting and maneuvering is required. Still, I wouldn't be able to operate the weed eater without it, I didn't pay much for it and it's getting the job done until I can find a commercial halter.

received it as ordered. and fits perfect and comfy.

The plastic parts feel like it can break easily. The clip that attaches to the weed eater has a unique design but moves around at the point of attachment. I like the light weight of it but the quality of the material makes me question the durability.

Absolute junk! Do not buy this unless you prefer junk! The shoulder pads are nothing more than a thin strip of cheap foam. The strap buckles do not cinch (bind) the straps, so as soon as you start walking the straps slip. Honestly, I have never seen such a poorly made product. It seems intentionally to be a rip-off. This product won't last because it doesn't work out of the box.

I bought this to weedeat on the edge of our lake using a brush cutter saw blade. Before using the slings, I had to split it in tow days and even with that Monday mornings will be sore arm days. We’ve all been there, done that! After using this, I could finish up the entire stretch in one day and hangovers the day after.However, keep in mind, this does not get the muscle work out 100%. There is still a lot going on for maintaining balance and maneuvering the blade. But it just takes the edge off the work and I hate weedeating some less than before!However the product is not well finished. It looks like a college project 3 printed item. But probably it doesn’t need to be nicer for its function either.The plastic took a serious hit from rubbing of screw head. But after moving it out, it seems to be fine (see picture). Despite the serious erosion, I like the material because it actually protects the legs compared to the sheet like plastic material I have seen in other’s slings.Over all, will highly recommend and eager to see how well it ages over time.

Adjustable, workevwell , Lite weight, durable, fit perfectly, reduced and balanced the weight of my weed eater .. GREAT PRODUCT.. I would highly recommend it to anyone

It is a knock off but for the price no complaints. Will last several seasonsQuality is not as nice as an oem stihl harness. But the price is amazing
