I've had customers using those for a few years now. They have improved the design a couple times on where it connects to the shaft. They work really well!
Hi I am Michael from the (UK) I been watching your post on TH-cam for about one year and have learned a lot from you. I have ordered the Trimmer arm Accessory and should bee with me on August 17 . Many Thanks Michael.
She’s 100% RIGHT! The Darwin’s Grip is a game changer! I have 3 acres with trees. It takes about one hour or more hunched over and back pain is the result. Now… zero back pain and it makes trimming so much easier! Buy one!
I am 63 years old and 5‘,8“ tall. Mike back used to hurt for days after weed trimming in the spring until I got this product. It’s a quality product with good customer service. I highly recommend it.
I am 6'1", I have been using Darwain's Grip for about 3 months now. I only have 11 lawns I do bur the Darwain's Grip makes all the difference in the world! My back literally does not hurt after a full day of trimming anymore! Highly recommend!
I bought a Darwin Grip for my FS 90 2 years ago. My god what a difference. I'm 6'1" and still had to bend just slightly and this did the trick. Mine isn't a quick adjust, but when you get it in the right spot, you're set.
I just received my Darwin Grip today and have it installed. Very easy and I love it! At 6' and 61 years old it's my new favorite accessory. Thanks so much and love your videos.
I was so sick and tired of back pain with my Stihl FS110R. I changed it over to a handlebar and shoulder harness. Now I can operate the trimmer for hours with no pain!
Take it to another level of comfort. Use a strap or harness also and free your arms from having to support it completely. I dont have the Darwins grip but another type of extended handle combined with a strap and its a complete game changer. Between that and the power of my Husqvarna 535LK it actually makes it fun to use. My trimming can be 4 hours a week or more so everything helps! BTW, the Stihl straps are the most comfortable I have found. Good padding.
Much love to you. I suffer from severe arthritis in both shoulders and both hips and often wield a weed whacker with one hand. I'm 5'10" by the way. God bless y'all.
Great video. Forget back pain. I am 6'2". I always try to wear a harness, but I never get the right angel while cutting. Usually I end my cutting experience with a blister on the inside of my right forearm from the heat of the engine. I am definitely investing in this product asap. Thank you. BTW, wearing a harness always causes me to stoop. Yuck. Very excited about this idea.
I’m 6’7” and live in the land Downunder (Oz). I have just bought one of these from a local dealer (different brand but same thing) - life changer! No more back pain and better control of the trimmer!
I'm a 6'7" guy. The way I use my weed trimmer is with the combo shaft extender. With this attachment, my weed trimmer is taller than I am, but I don't have to squat my back over.
It's been 4 yrs since using the Darwin grip and I have not been happier with the purchase. The handle allows you to stand up straight instead of bent over from the hip.
I saw this in a TH-cam video last year. I'm only 5'8", but I have a bad back, and these things are a life saver. I hope Darin works with you to sell these in your shop.
I'm 6'5 and I hate trimming. I have snow shovels with similar handles that get really hard to find. This looks like it might work for that also. I am ordering 1 to try out and go from there. Thank you for bringing this to your channel and to us.
Will NEVER shovel snow without assist bar. Mine is just a handle (parallel to top handle) but pivots on perpendicular axis (drilled/bolted about 1’ above shovel blade).
I’ve been using one since my Echo 2620T was new. It’s a complete game changer. Don’t be afraid to experiment with lots of different adjustments. I can trim with my arms comfortably straight but not hanging and my back straight. I literally can go for hours, until my hands are numb from the vibration and my back (which is already shot) is fine. I’ve never been able to use a trimmer this long before.
You are absolutely right about trying the different adjustments until you get the one that fits you. One of the best products I’ve purchased in many many years.
I found the best weed trimmer shoulder strap ever and it is dirt cheap & light weight. I have a straight shaft Hitachi (CG23ECPSL 22.5 cc) Love the trimmer never had a issue in 6 years starts in two pulls every time. I put a handle bar on it too so I can stand straight up. But the issue I always hate with a shoulder strap is if you need to reach further away from your body it is attached firm and you have to lean over a bit when you do. I use a strap made for a AR15 or those "so called" assault rifles. It has a bungee type cord and it stretches a good 5 to 6 inches. OMG it was a game changer for my busted up old body. I had no way to really attach it, so I braided a piece of paracord about 6 inches with a loop on the end that my quick release hooks too. Awesome when you need to fuel or restring as you do not have to take the sling off. One quick release and you you take it on and off. The strap I use I put on it they do not make but the one in my link here is almost Identical. I was not a fan of it on my rifle so I purchased a better one. I was trimming one day and my back was killing me and I thought this will work until I get a proper sling. That was like 6 years ago and I will never use anything else. But this device here would par good with it too. Check it out! I think Amazon has them too. Just be sure it has bungee's. I promise you will love it. I set my buddy up the same way and he has thanked me so many times. We both have auto immune disorders that are wrecking our joints. Sorry for a long reply. I just really love it and want to pass it on. www.teampython.com/product/vism-by-ncstar-single-point-bungee-sling-black/

I took a job on that has a large ditch to weedeat and it was a game changer when i discovered this handy contraption, been using it several months now.
As 5x back surgery survivor with 5 more herniated disc currently, I can first hand attest to the back saving features of this product. It’s worth every penny with or without a hurt back.
I love the one I have, what a life and back saver ! Once it is adjusted correctly ( it takes several readjustments to get it right ), a total game changer ! ! ! Thanks Bre for getting the word out to all !
I need this! But, first: I posted this on your old video about replacing a pull rope. And, let me add that trying to rewind the spring over and over wasn’t successful. Help. I love your videos. You are so friendly and skilled. I've been a single mom and done everything from replace washer parts to fight kudzu. Now, at 62 i feel old and incompetent. And frustrated. I have spent over 100 HOURS😮 this summer trying to replace the recoil on a 1998 ? Craftsman self propelled that ran fine until the rope stayed limp. I bought the one pc self enclosed unit from Amazon, at half the price of a Sears one. Money is tight. To get to the old one, there was a plastic top cover, but the recoil was seated under a metal front shroud, which went under a plastic rear shroud for the gas and oil. I've bought sets and sets of sockets and screwdrivers! Now, the recoil doesn't turn the---shit, i forgot the word. It seems to rock on top, though I measured both, including the pawls. When the recoil is put into the metal cover, no screw holes line up. I put all the screws in a magnetic bowl, but i still can't make any fit! OMG, i dont know what to do. I can't spend ANOTHER 50 bucks. APaul's. Please?
Bought one of these based on the video. I’m 6’2 and previously could only run a 1/2 tank of fuel through my trimmer before the ergonomics got to me. With the new grip I can run 3 full tanks before I even need a break. I also added a bungee sling and can run through six tanks of fuel a day without any problems.
I have two of those and love them. One on my string trimmer head and one on my blade trimmer head. They were so popular that I had to get on a waiting list.
I have this on my trimmers works excellent I also added a strap so it takes the weight of the motor off my right hand I'm 6'1" and 60 yrs old and dam it's comfortable have a great day stay cool already 102° here in Texarkana Arkansas
I've owned mine for three years now and let me tell you it is a God send and a back saver for sure. I'm 6'4 and it is the greatest thing ato save your back. Thanks Brea.
OMG! I found the Darwin grip last year. I trimmed for 2 hours when I got it and no back pain. I got one for my father-in-law and been telling everyone about it. It is the best attachments ever!!!
Looks like a great attachment! I purchased a power shovel attachment for my trimmer this past winter. I found it to be really heavy, so I bought a shoulder strap for it. I've continued to use the strap in the summer for trimming too. It's such a simple thing, but it's been a game changer for me.
I ordered this attachment for my daughter who has a lawn and landscaping business. Shes been complaining about back, shoulder, and elbow pain. I'm hoping this solves her problems! Thanks for sharing this information....😊
i have one have had it for 2 years worked pro mower lawn service found it then I am 6ft7in tall and it saved me a lot of pain and abuse on my body plus once you know how to adjust and use it you have far more control over your weed wacker
I just discovered this attachment a couple of months ago and it has been great. I have a large yard and there is much that needs to be trimmed - it was killing my back having to bend over with the weed wacker. The Darwins Grip has saved my back and made a nasty job so much easier.
I’ve been using these for about three years now and like Bree says, it’s life changing! Especially after shoulder surgery a year ago. Go buy one! You’ll be glad you did!
Ciao Chick, if you have already trimmer it is a usrfull tool to add to it, i got directly a double handle-bar trimmer and i have no problems with my back spine and my elbow ,Keep adding your usefull video, i wach them in Italy Ciao
The darwin is a game changer as a commercial guy it's on all my edgers fixed for my height as I have 2 srm 225 with them. Been using them since around gen 2 version the gen 4 or 5 was the best imo
Been using the Darwin's Grip on my trimmer for about a year. it's awesome!!!!! No more back pain after using the trimmer . before every time i used it i was hearting after. enjoy your videos so much!
just ordered one I cut 11 yards in addition to my 3 acres with over 100 fence posts to trim around, not many by comparison, but hard on the back, great find :}
I did that over a decade ago with a piece of frame from a padding pool and a bicycle gooseneck, and it was more ergonomic than that one looks for turning the trimmer for edges! Think i should hit the market with competition.
Also - Good Vibrations Zero Gravity - Universal Weight Absorbing String Trimmer Strap with Bungee PRO-X System & Deluxe Comfort Shoulder Pad - I use a extender for trimming that came with a chainsaw attachment. It puts the head out a bit farther and at the right angle. Yea, I've got a 'extra' handle also, just a different brand. Best set up ever. 6'4"
Hello. I just want to thank you and say I love your videos. You are amazing. I live in Tennessee and have had problems with my equipment. I always know you have a video to help.
I thought everyone knew about these and their other products already…look em up..great stuff. Was a game changer for me. Maybe I should ask to distribute in 🇨🇦 All the best…thanks ‘Chickanic’
I’ve had a Darwin’s Grip for a couple years now. Absolutely the best outdoor accessory purchase I have made! I could go about 20 minutes before having to stop due to backache. I can trim for an hour plus now with no issues.
Oh yes, Darwin’s grip 100%. I’m 6’3”. It helps my back for sure. Another thing is it allows me to keep my cutting plane level. I hate it when a weedeater tilts and scalps the lawn. This attachment pretty much eliminates that problem.
I've been tinkering with small engines of all kinds for 30 some years. And I enjoy your vids. Some times it take a second set of looking at something a different way, to solve a problem. Well done
I completely agree, I saw Fil's Lawn Care do a review and I ordered two of them as well. I placed one on my Stihl battery trimmer and started using it. One day I ran out of battery power(6 AP300S's) ad had to use the trimmer with my Kombi and boy could I tell a difference. Great video as always.
that is pretty cool. I have a Hitachi 21cc straight shaft I love. It starts with in 2 pulls no matter how long it has set and is mega stout for how light it is. It had a horrible little rounded handle like e=very other cheap trimmer. I put a handle bar type handle on it and I use it standing up tall with no pain. But the biggest thing that I did to save my back and shoulders is I put a sling on it. But not any sling I used a cheap single point bungee sling made for a AR type rifle. I had to braid a short piece of paracord that hooks to the trimmer and then the clip on the sling attaches to it. The place it out shines any other sling is it hangs on bungee cords. So if you need to stretch the trimer away from you to get that un even spot you do not have to hunch down like other slings to get the give. 100% the best combo I ever have had for a trimmer. I have had 5 shoulder surgeries and degenerative disk disease and a lot of other health problems. my arms hold no weight when trimming. I just have to point it the direction I want to cut. The sling I used is a UTG single point but they have been discontinued but this one here looks like it. Try this on a trimmer it is Amazing. I have been using this same rig 6 years now. www.teampython.com/product/vism-by-ncstar-single-point-bungee-sling-black/
I installed one of these on the trimmer for my Stihl KM110 a couple years ago. Money well spent!! I'm 6'1" and it really saves a lot of back pain and overall effort. Still use a harness but it's adjusted just right to work with the Darwin grip. I recommend a slight offset so left hand is to the side somewhat, not inline with the shaft.
Thanks for the tip. I will be buying a new trimmer next season since my 7 year old one is about done and I am more than done with it. It is a curved shaft and next time I will buy a straight shaft trimmer.

what is the difference between a farm tool and a PROFESSIONAL tool
Couple that with a shoulder strap and you're golden!

Thanks so much and love your videos.
Do you realllly notice a difference?
Inquiring minds want to know! 😁
Black diamond string and Darwin grip. 2 of the best things I've bought!!
I was so sick and tired of back pain with my Stihl FS110R.
I changed it over to a handlebar and shoulder harness.
Now I can operate the trimmer for hours with no pain!

Much love to you. I suffer from severe arthritis in both shoulders and both hips and often wield a weed whacker with one hand. I'm 5'10" by the way. God bless y'all.
Stihl and Husqvarna sell harnesses/vests that support the trimmer/hedger/brush cutter. Stihl has a special pole saw harness.
Great video. Forget back pain. I am 6'2". I always try to wear a harness, but I never get the right angel while cutting. Usually I end my cutting experience with a blister on the inside of my right forearm from the heat of the engine. I am definitely investing in this product asap. Thank you. BTW, wearing a harness always causes me to stoop. Yuck. Very excited about this idea.
I use a harness too. We will see if I use both. Set correctly for ground trimming along with handle should very good
I can't imagine being over 5'8" without one of these. You can buy factory seconds to save some money.
The right angel made the video
Nothing new. Scythes worked like this for millennia.
Come on Darwin Grips, get this lady a sponsorship!
I’m 6’7” and live in the land Downunder (Oz). I have just bought one of these from a local dealer (different brand but same thing) - life changer! No more back pain and better control of the trimmer!

Yep I have the same setup and love it. Bit heavy but I got used to that.
It's been 4 yrs since using the Darwin grip and I have not been happier with the purchase. The handle allows you to stand up straight instead of bent over from the hip.
Been using one for several years and cannot live without it. I'm 6'6" and was looking for a solution and stumbled upon this online.
I saw this in a TH-cam video last year. I'm only 5'8", but I have a bad back, and these things are a life saver. I hope Darin works with you to sell these in your shop.
Wish I could give you multiple thumbs up on this one. I am 6'3" and you describe exactly how it feels for a tall person to use a trimmer.
I'm 6'5 and I hate trimming. I have snow shovels with similar handles that get really hard to find. This looks like it might work for that also. I am ordering 1 to try out and go from there. Thank you for bringing this to your channel and to us.
They work great. You can also move it up and down the shaft until you get it exactly where you want it.
Will NEVER shovel snow without assist bar. Mine is just a handle (parallel to top handle) but pivots on perpendicular axis (drilled/bolted about 1’ above shovel blade).
Have you heard of the Manplow snow shovel for tall people?
I’ve been using one since my Echo 2620T was new. It’s a complete game changer. Don’t be afraid to experiment with lots of different adjustments. I can trim with my arms comfortably straight but not hanging and my back straight. I literally can go for hours, until my hands are numb from the vibration and my back (which is already shot) is fine. I’ve never been able to use a trimmer this long before.
I have one on my edger. It’s great. I bought the 3 pack when I did and my dad and brother are using the other 2.
You are absolutely right about trying the different adjustments until you get the one that fits you. One of the best products I’ve purchased in many many years.

Hey Bre!! I have these on all my combo attachments, brush cutter, trimmer, pole saw and hedge trimmer!! Absolutely love it!!
Pole saw??? Really?? I need all the help I can get when using my pole saw. 🤣🤣
The Darwin handle has been home for a while now, Amazon has them for a pretty good price. I would get the latest version!
Did you purchase one for every Combi attachment?

As 5x back surgery survivor with 5 more herniated disc currently, I can first hand attest to the back saving features of this product. It’s worth every penny with or without a hurt back.

I've had one for almost 2 years and love it! I can weed eat for hours now without back pain. Highly recommend.
I need this! But, first:
I posted this on your old video about replacing a pull rope. And, let me add that trying to rewind the spring over and over wasn’t successful.
Help. I love your videos. You are so friendly and skilled.
I've been a single mom and done everything from replace washer parts to fight kudzu. Now, at 62 i feel old and incompetent. And frustrated.
I have spent over 100 HOURS😮 this summer trying to replace the recoil on a 1998 ? Craftsman self propelled that ran fine until the rope stayed limp.
I bought the one pc self enclosed unit from Amazon, at half the price of a Sears one. Money is tight. To get to the old one, there was a plastic top cover, but the recoil was seated under a metal front shroud, which went under a plastic rear shroud for the gas and oil. I've bought sets and sets of sockets and screwdrivers! Now, the recoil doesn't turn the---shit, i forgot the word. It seems to rock on top, though I measured both, including the pawls. When the recoil is put into the metal cover, no screw holes line up. I put all the screws in a magnetic bowl, but i still can't make any fit!
OMG, i dont know what to do. I can't spend ANOTHER 50 bucks.
APaul's. Please?
i bought mine after seeing it on youtube with fil's lawn care. Love it
Bought one of these based on the video. I’m 6’2 and previously could only run a 1/2 tank of fuel through my trimmer before the ergonomics got to me. With the new grip I can run 3 full tanks before I even need a break. I also added a bungee sling and can run through six tanks of fuel a day without any problems.
I have a Darwin on my STIHL edger for about 4 years now and it the greatest thing i spent my money on
I have two of those and love them. One on my string trimmer head and one on my blade trimmer head. They were so popular that I had to get on a waiting list.
I have this on my trimmers works excellent I also added a strap so it takes the weight of the motor off my right hand I'm 6'1" and 60 yrs old and dam it's comfortable have a great day stay cool already 102° here in Texarkana Arkansas
I've owned mine for three years now and let me tell you it is a God send and a back saver for sure. I'm 6'4 and it is the greatest thing ato save your back. Thanks Brea.
They need to sponsor you because I just ordered one thanks to you! Bravo!
OMG! I found the Darwin grip last year. I trimmed for 2 hours when I got it and no back pain. I got one for my father-in-law and been telling everyone about it. It is the best attachments ever!!!
Oh wow! Looks like a great idea! 💡
Great video! Thank you, crisp and to the point. Perfect. I'm ordering one right now. Thanks again.
Great product. I have one on my trimmer. I recommend everyone should buy one if you have any kind of back trouble
Looks like a great attachment! I purchased a power shovel attachment for my trimmer this past winter. I found it to be really heavy, so I bought a shoulder strap for it. I've continued to use the strap in the summer for trimming too. It's such a simple thing, but it's been a game changer for me.
Shoulder strap for my trimmer too, it is a game changer!
It's an absolute back saver. I bought one last year and wouldn't weed whack without it.
I have been using the Darwin Grip for six months now, and it is excellent.
I ordered this attachment for my daughter who has a lawn and landscaping business. Shes been complaining about back, shoulder, and elbow pain. I'm hoping this solves her problems! Thanks for sharing this information....😊
i have one have had it for 2 years worked pro mower lawn service found it then I am 6ft7in tall and it saved me a lot of pain and abuse on my body plus once you know how to adjust and use it you have far more control over your weed wacker

Been using the Darwin's Grip on my trimmer for about a year. it's awesome!!!!! No more back pain after using the trimmer . before every time i used it i was hearting after. enjoy your videos so much!
That’s cool. Recently added a shoulder strap to mine. Made a huge difference.
I bought one about a month ago and you are right it is a game changer for me. much more comfortable.
I've been using this for over 5 years now. The best ever!!
just ordered one I cut 11 yards in addition to my 3 acres with over 100 fence posts to trim around, not many by comparison, but hard on the back, great find :}
I did that over a decade ago with a piece of frame from a padding pool and a bicycle gooseneck, and it was more ergonomic than that one looks for turning the trimmer for edges! Think i should hit the market with competition.
Thanks, lady. I have two slings on my big A Stilh and they are cumbersome and impractical. I will investigate this unit immediately.
Also - Good Vibrations Zero Gravity - Universal Weight Absorbing String Trimmer Strap with Bungee PRO-X System & Deluxe Comfort Shoulder Pad - I use a extender for trimming that came with a chainsaw attachment. It puts the head out a bit farther and at the right angle. Yea, I've got a 'extra' handle also, just a different brand. Best set up ever. 6'4"
Got one last month off Amazon for half the price of a Darwin, your right it is life changing!!!
I just stumbled across your channel and I'm hooked! I've been binge watching for 2 days. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and tricks.
Hello. I just want to thank you and say I love your videos. You are amazing. I live in Tennessee and have had problems with my equipment. I always know you have a video to help.
I thought everyone knew about these and their other products already…look em up..great stuff. Was a game changer for me. Maybe I should ask to distribute in 🇨🇦 All the best…thanks ‘Chickanic’
I’ve had a Darwin’s Grip for a couple years now. Absolutely the best outdoor accessory purchase I have made! I could go about 20 minutes before having to stop due to backache. I can trim for an hour plus now with no issues.
I've been using the Darwin's grip for YEARS!!! They are wonderful!!!
Ancient Stihl geared, wide handlebars and shoulder strap. Works great, no strain, especially after I found MotoMix and put a new carb on it.
This is great. Thanks for turning me on to this. I’ve seen it but didn’t know what it was. Now I do. Thank again. ❤
Been using these for 4-5 years now the best thing I have ever bought. Great customer service as well. I would not be without them.
Thank you for the videos! I got 3 lawnmowers and a chainsaw running that has been sitting in the garage!! Your videos been a huge help! Woo hoo!
Cool idea... Could be a game changer.. hope all is good your end
My son in law bought one for me 3 years ago and I love it. Good info to pass on, thanks!
Oh yes, Darwin’s grip 100%. I’m 6’3”. It helps my back for sure. Another thing is it allows me to keep my cutting plane level. I hate it when a weedeater tilts and scalps the lawn. This attachment pretty much eliminates that problem.
Oh my gosh! I'm getting one of those. Thank you so much for giving the heads up on that Darwin attachment. You rock!
This is a good tips for every one
I've had mine for 2 years and love it.
Thanks! I liked mine so well I bought one for my neighbor.
Bought 1 about 2 years ago when the first came out and love it !
Based on your review, ordered one today.. Can't wait to use it. Thanks.
I couldn't agree more. I have one on all 3 of my machines. Kinda pricey ($70) but worth every penny.
I have seen that device on several YT video's of professional lawn care company's... thanx for the link I will be purchasing one pronto!
I've been tinkering with small engines of all kinds for 30 some years. And I enjoy your vids. Some times it take a second set of looking at something a different way, to solve a problem. Well done
I completely agree, I saw Fil's Lawn Care do a review and I ordered two of them as well. I placed one on my Stihl battery trimmer and started using it. One day I ran out of battery power(6 AP300S's) ad had to use the trimmer with my Kombi and boy could I tell a difference. Great video as always.
Being able to turn the trimmer for edging and still be comfortable is a game changer. I will be ordering one today.
that is pretty cool. I have a Hitachi 21cc straight shaft I love. It starts with in 2 pulls no matter how long it has set and is mega stout for how light it is. It had a horrible little rounded handle like e=very other cheap trimmer. I put a handle bar type handle on it and I use it standing up tall with no pain. But the biggest thing that I did to save my back and shoulders is I put a sling on it. But not any sling I used a cheap single point bungee sling made for a AR type rifle. I had to braid a short piece of paracord that hooks to the trimmer and then the clip on the sling attaches to it. The place it out shines any other sling is it hangs on bungee cords. So if you need to stretch the trimer away from you to get that un even spot you do not have to hunch down like other slings to get the give. 100% the best combo I ever have had for a trimmer. I have had 5 shoulder surgeries and degenerative disk disease and a lot of other health problems. my arms hold no weight when trimming. I just have to point it the direction I want to cut. The sling I used is a UTG single point but they have been discontinued but this one here looks like it. Try this on a trimmer it is Amazing. I have been using this same rig 6 years now.

saw your review, got one, works great and no more leaning over.Thanks for all your videos, very informative.
I love this web site, so much great advice. She is like scary smart.
thanks Bre, looks great I ordered one because you are right I hate string trimming
Bought the 3 pack 3 years ago and absolutely love mine.Good people also. Talked to the owners on the phone.
That's awesome, now to heal up after a shoulder surgery
I'm 6'3 and definitely gonna check this out. I do a lot of weedeating and I think this will help out a lot. Thanks for sharing this. 👍🏻
TRIMMING?🤡
I installed one of these on the trimmer for my Stihl KM110 a couple years ago. Money well spent!! I'm 6'1" and it really saves a lot of back pain and overall effort. Still use a harness but it's adjusted just right to work with the Darwin grip. I recommend a slight offset so left hand is to the side somewhat, not inline with the shaft.
Fantastic idea, why didn't I think of that. Thanks for wising us up.
Great accessory suggestion! I usually burn my right forearm . Darwin will take care of that too. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks just bought it, with the link. I have a Stihl FS 90 and some days it does get a bit heavy feeling.
Gonna check this out, I'm 6'6"+ and I do have back pain! Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. I will be buying a new trimmer next season since my 7 year old one is about done and I am more than done with it. It is a curved shaft and next time I will buy a straight shaft trimmer.
I have one! It is awesome…I’m also 5’9 and it definitely helps.
I’ve been using it for a couple of years now. I likey.
