I think i tossed the strap, have to dig around, butit doesnt bring the handle any closer, just supports the weight, which doesnt bother me.

I wouldn't have that 'Indestructible Trimmer' - in the video, the weeds grow back about as fast as he chops them off. :laughing:

I suppose there's no danger of the wire fragments on the cutting head breaking off and flying out? Must be made of some material quite different than the wire wheels on my grinder. I just don't quite think I'll be trying one out.

You have extended the adjustment on the harness or shoulder strap correct? I'll 5'11 but when my 5'9 spouse has used a shoulder strap, I need to readjust it for me. Does make a BIG difference in comfort.

I tried moving handle up, made it diff to turn the cutting head for certain angles, found the shoulder strap, it does help support and a lil easier on the lower back, Thanks for the refresh

Glad to see you got the adjustments mastered. Comfort of a tool is very important. We've been using these high powered whackers* for so many years and hours, its easy for us to forget that its not always obvious to everyone on how to adjust them.

* various makes as well.

heavy String cutting

Maybe someone would like to see how we cut and bring heavy strings with us. This is .155 thick variety. 1st one is how we carry it into the field. The bundles are held together with painters tape. Middle one is it being cut. The roll as seen here is not over costly when purchased bulk. The black sharpie marks in the table is the length I cut. This string is terribly hard to cut and the 6" side cutter seen here even struggles to do it. I have a larger ones that are better for the job.
