"I do got my ear and eye protection on for those of you that like to be..... concerned about that...thank you....for caring" That was real funny!
That thing is a good idea.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he even fixed his hair when he said it😂😂😂
I have two of those Darwin's grip for just under a year of use and it was a game-changer for me being solo with my lawn care . I don't feel that pain at the end of the day as most lawn care providers can understand. You won't regret buying one!
Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear you like it
You're Welcome Jason, and I'm in Central Ga and I have learned a lot from all of you're videos keep up the awesome work bro.
Thanks for the demo. Back was killing me yesterday after trimming. I'm 6'3". Ordering.
I just bought the v5.0 and used it twice and already love it. Total game changer for me. I also found for edging it works great to put the stock handle upside down and further down the shaft which gives much better leverage and control when it's flipped upside down
My Darwins have done wonders for fatigue and back ache. Great investment
I purchased 1 to try it out. Loved it, bought 2 more.
I have mine mounted to where the grip is to the left side of the trimmer shaft. That way I can square up my body instead of my left shoulder being forward. I found that when I'm string trimming for several hours at a time, it tended to pull through my rib area in my back. Repositioning to the left side and allowing my body to square up solved that problem. No problems mounting in rack as my edgers, hedger and trimmers hang vertically inside my trailer.
Huge space saver.
BTW, walk backwards edging too.👍💯🤔
Great video. I'm glad you showed the right position your arms are supposed to be in. Alot of other videos don't do that, and it defeats the purpose. Cheers from Florida 👍
i have 4 of them and love them on my trimmer and edger
Being 6' 1" I bought 2. Love them
This is what I need. I'm 6'3", the FS56RC-E's shaft is still too short even though the selling point is for taller users.
I guess trimmer grips have evolved.
Im 6'2 and the Darwin's grip has taken away all my back pain. I also use a echo strap to hold the trimmer and take the weight off my arms. This will help you a lot if you're a solo guy like me.
Thanks for sharing your experience
I'm 6'3" and i just wish echo, stihl or someone would make a shaft an extra damn 10 inches. Made for Mexicans i guess
@@bignickdigger7105 no kidding. I’m 6 ft with boots on and it’s like they’re made for children. I still use my redmax because it’s the only one with the right head angle for me.
Gonna try one of these handles. My dad runs something similar.
@@seabass22 i threw that grip away. It just doesn't allow you the range of movement without using much more effort. If you are just using it around your home it'd be ideal. But using it to cut commercial is out of the question. My brother immediately put it back on the truck and used a trimmer without the grip
@@bignickdigger7105 y’all must not be very tall
Nvm see where you said 6’3. Must not be very old then 😜
Thanks for the demo! I cut much higher when I trim.
I got a small bent shaft trimmer and 5.8-.9”so I’m not the tallest person but the last few times with the trimmer I have noticed my back getting really sore. I have a back injury and seems I just started taking pride in mowing my lawn I am feeling it so much. I’m getting a new trimmer, straight shaft and that might help but that arm would help for sure. It’s a great way of solving it a problem for sure
i have mine mounted under the trimmer tube 16" from the gear box. I also have it rolled out to the left maybe 15-20 degrees (easier to change directions l to r). now you can remove that worthless plastic handle. it will take a few adjustments to get it where you like it. do not over torque the screws, if you break the clamp NO WARRANTY.
for those who may not know, Darwin was the name of the first orangutan to walk upright. just a little fyi.
I use one on my edger and love it. I wish they would just extend the trimmer a foot and tilt the head about 15 degrees to keep the head parallel with the ground. I also have the Husqvarna 525ls, what kind and size of string do you prefer?
I agree that it would take some getting used to. One of the guys at work has one attached to his trimmer due to a back condition he has and he swears by it but for me I find that I feel like I’m not able to move as fast with the grip. Plus on a larger trimmer the last thing I want is more weight.
I love mine I have 2 of them. I couldn't go back to using a trimmer without one. They fit on my racks just fine. My only complaint is I had to shorten mine and reweld it so it would attach to the power head and not the attachment on my echo pas.
I have been sleeping on this🤦🏻♂️. Thanks!
It is a handy attachment, especially if you have back pain
I just ordered one , can't wait to try it . I'm 6'5" and trimming kills my back .
It’s the truth isn’t it!? I’m also 6’5” and I won’t use a trimmer without it.

Awesome ! I ordered on through your link . I’ve been wanting one since last mowing season . Can’t wait to try it out !
Thanks for the demo brother . Just bought one and can't wait to try it.
I would love to try one of these!
Something like this could be quite useful for me as I don't have a dedicated brushcutter. I do have two Husqvarna 535LK pro combi's which have enough power to most things! I did buy extra strimmer safts, so already have mulching blade, clearing saw and grass blade heads ready to fit in seconds! 👍
I’m not tall at all and I love the Darwin’s grip
I bought 2 of the original version when this item first came out.
The mount was very cheesy and kept coming loose from vibration even if I used loctite on the bolts and the hand grip had an enormous amount of vibration in it.
It looks like they improved and upgraded both of those things.
I should have waited a few years before purchasing.
A classic example of don’t be a hero.let someone else take the beach,lol !
I like the Darwin's grip though
What's the advantage of this over the "u shaped" handlebar with the harness?
This may sound backwards but I recently just bought a straight shaft trimmer and it really does a number on my back.. The one I had before was a curved shaft and it was very easy on my back.. I think it's because in order to get an even cut I feel like I have to hold it on an angle on the straight shaft, where as it's perfectly setting on the ground with a curved.. I just bought it two days ago so I may return it for a smaller one or just return it to get the curved on fixed
Got 3 off amazon and mounted them on my echos this week, very nice! No problem locking them into my greentouch racks. Whats you’re pros and cons of shoulder straps?
All pros for shoulder straps for me. I can weedeater and edge when neccessary and the strap takes the weight off my arms so I don't get tired as fast. Great if you're a solo guy.
Shoulder straps for me tend to get in the way, in the past anyway. I can’t make quick maneuvers, or reach under trees.
I just ordered 3 of these handles. Might try the strap again.
Funny video :D
No grass found, guy runs around to find any bush.. Operator cant even follow so fast :D
This is his greatest creation since ‘Decent of Man’
I would trip over my own shadow trying to walk backwards wile trimming 😀
Hey Boss, this video is about i reckon 3 years old. Do you still use this grip?
I tried placing an order on there web site and your discount code would not work, I tried also using Dirt Monkey and that also would not work. I tried to send them a message on there web site and that also would not go through.
Lawn Care Life Darwin’s Grip helps to protect your back and keep your back straight I always wanted one my wife won’t let me buy one
I have used one. They work well
tri pod or image stable camera would increase the quality thanks
Probably the most barren land I ever saw trimmed. Should call this ''dirt trimming''
I'm not tall and right handed, and find that my left forearm and lower back on the right side tense up on long areas. I've noticed that I will pause and straighten my back to release some tension. I ordered two of these (trimmer and edger) for the new cutting season and think they will improve my posture, prevent muscle strain, and allow me to go faster than before.
How's it been using these handles?
@@Twomps It's been great, really saves my back for the trimmer and edger. Well worth the cost.
I love it, but it is kind in the way when you do edging.
I have one. I am 6,5'. The Darwin saves my back. I still hate trimming though.
If I was 6"5", I might buy 2 of them!!!
@@lawncarelife - fyi, I don't think you can buy just one, they come in 2 packs, so if thinking of purchasing, will be stuck with two, even if you didn't want that many.
Well if you walk backwards then you'll always be going backwards🙃🙃 LOL JK thanks for the video buddy
My 59 year old back needs a couple of these, just tried to order 2 and the "creel10" discount code did not work
Sorry about that. I just emailed darwins grip to let them know that the code is not working. I hope it will be soon.. I should have tried it myself first.
@@lawncarelife It's working now! It had a space in the "letters" that took me hours to find. Good to go & sorry!
If someone tells to not walk backwards. They have never used a string trimmer. Y'all should try it.
I cut fast with it just like you just. No back pain
I've been doing maintenance for 20 yrs and I always edge walking backwards. You get cleaner lines . I also go backwards around beds and houses to save clean up time from having to go over missed spots. Pros know .
I edge forward then go back over it in reverse. We have some pretty muddy soil sometimes down here.
Is anyone having trouble with the discount code? Just tried it and it’s not working. Don’t wanna order yet till I can figure that out?
Code is fixed now
It's working now! It had a space in the "letters" that took me hours to find. Good to go & sorry!
I’m 5’4 would this be of no use to me?
As far as standing up straighter maybe not. But the fact that its fulcrum point is closer to the line will add more control. Try one! it comes with a no-hassle money-back deal.
Lawn Care Life I told my wife I’ll pay for it with my own money from lawn care job.
The code doesn't work. creel10
Code is fixed now
WE ALL HAVE TO WALK IT BACKWARDS & WEAR SAFETY GLASSES 🤔oh well I suck
Promo code didnt work
That's what I heard. I'm sorry about that. I have emailed them and let them know. Hopefully it will be fixed soon
Just letting you know
Code is fixed now
@@mikekenzington6130 Fixed! Sorry.
Also because you asked for annoying comments and safety do-gooders if the camera person wasn't wearing safety glasses according to the owner's manual they should not be anywhere near you while you're operating that machine only people equipped with the proper PPE should be in the vicinity... 😂😂lolol LOL sorry man you did ask for this though literally
Stihl has this device, and more easily adjustable, plus you dont have to look like an anti-creationist fool
