Upgraded Ergonomic Trimmer Grip, String Trimmer Handle, with Trimmer Shoulder Harness, Weed Eater Handle Extension for Trimming, Weedeater Handle Grip for String Trimmer, Lawn Care and Landscaping

I have always experienced lower-right back discomfort when using string trimmers and edgers for extended periods due to having to adopt an irregular posture for protracted amounts of time. This Trimmer Grip alleviated it! For context, I'm 6'2" and use a Stihl Kombi with string trimmer and straight-shaft edger with the unit on my right side. I have about five hours combined use between the two attachments while using the grip. Materials and construction are very robust. Installation is simple. A few tips that worked for me: First, although the clamp grips the handle precisely and tightly, it is a bit slippery, causing the handle to rotate when picking up the tool by the grip no matter how tightly the screws are torqued. To solve this, I taped a single 1" wide strip of Gorilla tape lengthwise along the portion of the handle that the clamp grips on to. (Wrapping the whole thing prevented it from being inserted into the clamp due to an excessive increase of the diameter). This gives it much, much more friction and bite, keeping the grip from rotating for the most part -- I can still adjust the height of the grip on the fly if need be with substantial force, but for all intents and purposes, it makes for a solid, stationary connection. (There have been no slipping issues at the shaft attachment point, so no modification has been necessary at that connection.) Second, finding the comfort sweet spot took some experimentation. When using the grip on the string trimmer for the first time, the grip merely transferred previously experienced back pain into my left forearm because my elbow was consistently bent. I got it dialed in by tweaking the height of the grip over the shaft in combination with how far down the shaft it was mounted, all the while making sure I was standing up straight, no bent elbows, and the trimmer head was at the height I'd be using it. The hand grip ended up being centered over the shaft and parallel to the factory handle albeit not directly over it, but farther down, closer to the business end of the trimmer. For dialing in the edger, I adjusted the positioning as above, but I also rotated the handle 20 degrees or so to the left so that when I'm standing in a natural, upright posture while holding the grip, the edger blade is not perfectly vertical, but rather angled out to the right, away from whatever I'm edging. This is how I've always preferred to edge because it creates an aesthetically pleasing gap between the concrete/paver and the turf instead of making a plain flush cut. I'm happy that the Trimmer Grip could be adjusted for this while maintaining a comfortable posture. One final note: I find that when edging an area that doesn't need the manicured look of a blade edger, using the string trimmer instead, utilizing the Trimmer Grip is cumbersome. I'll default back to the factory handle. It might be a matter of just getting used to it, but for now I just use the factory handle for edging that way. All in all, I find this grip to be a good design and well-made of quality materials. I feel its beneficial attributes correlate to the user's height -- the taller one is, the more apparent and appreciated those attributes will be. At over six feet tall, I find it indispensable. I will purchase again should I acquire other attachments or otherwise need additional ones.

I’ve been using the Yomoho Trimmer Grip for a few weeks now, and it has completely transformed the way I use my weed eater. The ergonomic handle extension makes trimming so much easier on my back and shoulders—no more awkward bending or wrist strain. The grip feels solid and secure, and the included shoulder strap is a great bonus for reducing fatigue during longer jobs. Installation was quick and straightforward, and it fits perfectly on my trimmer. I’ve already noticed I can work longer without discomfort, which means I’m getting more done in less time. If you do any amount of yard work, this is a must-have upgrade! Highly recommend to anyone looking to make their lawn care routine more comfortable and efficient.

I'd put off trimming 'cause my back killed me. Got this, installed it in five minutes, and now I actually don't mind doing it. It's that good. No more hunching over. Totally worth it.

The handle appears to be well made. The install on my Echo weed trimmer was easy using the supplied bracket and mounting hardware. The handle is larger than I expected but not overly heavy. The mounting bracket is aluminum and the bolts did not thread in easily. There is no way tightening the handle so it doesn’t move back and forth when you get it in the desired hand position. I was too afraid to over tighten because it will strip or crack the bracket. It does help with back relief and the suppled strap was extremely beneficial to help relieve the carry weight. I just don’t care for how the handle cannot be tightened and will eventually work even looser after use and vibration. It’s not worth the $50 I paid for it. It’s gone down in price since and I think it’s much better price point now.

Took a chance on this tool handle due to a back injury from a car accident and I am very glad I did. Keeps my posture much more upright which gives me less back pain. Can trim my whole fence and yard and I experience much less pain. Bought another one for my edger too.

I bought it ago and I was using it for 5 days and it really helped me a lot with my back pain, it is comfortable and I love that it can be adjusted to anyone's taste, I lent it to my friend to try it and convince him to buy it for himself but he installed it wrong on hisweedeating and broke the clamp and well I came back here to contact the seller and see how to buy that part again and he very kindly sent it to me at no cost, I really recommend it, you will get less tired, you will not have any back pain, easy to maneuver because it is very light.

Game changer, this handle is a big help for taller people. I don’t mind using my trimmer anymore since I got this handle. The quality is great, super easy to use and install. Works great.

I installed this over the winter on my electric power shovel, which doubles as my string trimmer in the summer. The concept behind this handle is excellent. Having a second grip really improves balance and makes it much easier on your arms and back when you’re working for a while. Installation was simple and it fit the shaft without much trouble. When it is tightened down properly it definitely gives you better control and a more natural working position. The reason I landed at four stars instead of five is that it tends to loosen up over time. I found myself having to stop and re-tighten it periodically, especially after some heavier use. If the clamp hardware held its position a little better, this would easily be a five star upgrade. Overall it is still a helpful accessory and a noticeable improvement in comfort, but expect to check the tightness once in a while.
