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

This shoulder strap was a perfect fit for my STIHL weed eater. It only took a few minutes to install once I figured out how it connected. There were no instructions included, but a quick YouTube video showed me exactly what to do. Once installed, it worked great and made using the weed eater much more comfortable. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great

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.)

Works great

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

Very good trimmer shoulder strap, it fits perfectly and maneuver the trimmer very comfortably, highly recommend it,

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 just bought a stihl fs56c. It has the big handlebars with a strap. The strap is worthless. It digs into your neck and makes the job suck. This harness distributes the weight well and makes it so much easier to use. Once you get everything adjusted and balanced the way you like it you are set. I also like the way the quick release clip is set up. I only took away 1 star because the shoulder pads are fairly cheap looking foam. They do the job but I don’t think they will hold up to a lot of use. We will see

this would have been great if it was for a 140lb person, but a plus size man cannot wear it or even get it on. If they had made the straps longer , we could have made it work, so buyer beware if you are are a big guy

Straps won’t stay in place. Very uncomfortable, and hard to even put it on. Paid $40 for this, and gave up after 2 days and spent $90 on the OEM which works perfectly.

Liked so far, used for weed eater, was very pleased with delivery.
