Hipa4119 710 9001 String Trimmer Full Harness for STHIL FS, KM Series String Trimmer

Works great with my Stihl fs38 and makes weed-eating a lot easier on your body. Very well made and adjustable for large, average & small folks....highly recommend and well worth the investment...

Great value for the money. Will adjust to any frame - I'm a woman to fit is an issue. I use a heavy, commercial grade weed eater - the old harness I bought with it finally broke. It was like a backpack, distributed weight across both shoulders and hips - I was unable to find anything like it. Got this one in the interim. It's ok. Since it's a sling style, it does not distribute the weight. If my weed eater was light and I only used it for light duty 30 minutes or so, I'm sure it would be fine. But I weed eat steep banks, ditch lines, creek banks for 2-3 hours at a time so the sling twists my back, makes upper back and arms sore because more lifting and maneuvering is required. Still, I wouldn't be able to operate the weed eater without it, I didn't pay much for it and it's getting the job done until I can find a commercial halter.

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

I bought this to weedeat on the edge of our lake using a brush cutter saw blade. Before using the slings, I had to split it in tow days and even with that Monday mornings will be sore arm days. We’ve all been there, done that! After using this, I could finish up the entire stretch in one day and hangovers the day after.However, keep in mind, this does not get the muscle work out 100%. There is still a lot going on for maintaining balance and maneuvering the blade. But it just takes the edge off the work and I hate weedeating some less than before!However the product is not well finished. It looks like a college project 3 printed item. But probably it doesn’t need to be nicer for its function either.The plastic took a serious hit from rubbing of screw head. But after moving it out, it seems to be fine (see picture). Despite the serious erosion, I like the material because it actually protects the legs compared to the sheet like plastic material I have seen in other’s slings.Over all, will highly recommend and eager to see how well it ages over time.

Bought this to help spread the weight of a weed eater better than just a standard sling. This works well at that, and is adjustable in lots of different ways too. I'm giving 3 stars because the shoulder strap material is not what was expected. It is some kind of cheap looking flexible foam that creases very easily. Also, the 3 star rating is because the spring that keeps the retention clip pushed forward broke the second day this was used. Not the end of the world, but the weed eater can work itself free from the harness now because the retention clip does not press closed. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. This is cheaper than name brand harnesses, both in price and quality...but it does what it is supposed to do.
