Looking for a good string trimmer harness or strap. Will only be used occasionally but when I do use it will be for long periods of time. Not sure that I want to spend $150 on a Husky at the local shop but if there is nothing in between that unit and the 20-30 dollar cheapies on Amazon I will consider.
Recommend a good trimmer harness or shoulder strap

I've got a Limbsaver on mine, works great for me, 20-30 minutes at a time unless I do the full perimeter of the property with a brush cutter.

I simply used an adjustable nylon web strap from an old shoulder bag.
Posted about it on GJ and immediately got criticized for being weak and out of shape.
I find it to be a convenience since you don't have to put the trimmer down to unlatch and open a gate, move something out of the way, etc.

I have been using a Stihl Double Standard Harness since ~2004-5 when I bought my FS90R.
It's not a high-dollar model. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it currently runs about $30 at every dealer near me. I love it and won't even consider using the trimmer for more than a few seconds without it. With it I can put my trimmer to use for hours at a time without wearing myself out at all.
A quick Google shows similar ones under various brands can be had for ~$15 delivered.
I suppose perhaps if I was going to be running a trimmer all day long every day I might want something that costs more, but for a guy who cuts 3 lawns totaling about 5 acres a week with lots of weedeating on every one all summer long every year this is perfect for me.

Double standard shoulder strap design. You can adjust the suitable strap length. There are slight difference between the picture and the real item caused by light brightness,hope you can understand.
