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

Works great just what I needed

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 to worry 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.)

I'm 66 years old & string trimming hurts my back after a very short time. A buddy does commercial landscaping and offered to lend me his very pricey hip belt set-up) I didn't understand how this could help, but it does. Very inexpensive and it is a godsend to my back. A miracle little simple product. While setting it up to try, I couldn't see how it could help me, but my results are amazing. I don't dread string trimming any longer. Must be the angle of my back changed.

I think its a good product but the clip to attach to my weed wacker doesn’t fit.. the clip attachment is tooo small.. of course I believe there are many brands and models of these machines so others may not have a attachment issue like me

Works great

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 purchased this one time before a few years ago. It is still operational but I ordered another one as a backup. I have recommended this to other people who have also purchased one and they are all happy with it.

This is a great value for the money. Works great.
