Following on from the strimmer thread, has anyone tried one of the full harnesses for these things?
e.g. something like:
What about for use with other tools like long reach hedge trimmer or pruner, or conventional hedge trimmer?
My long-reach trimmer came with a simpler harness, just to take the weight on your shoulders. I tried it, and found it not useful. If you had a 100m or more of hedge to cut where you are keeping the cutter in roughly the same position for a long time, then it would probably work. My hedges are big but not long, and tall enough to need a ladder for the tops, and that means you're moving the cutter all over the place and the harness didn't help me. Maybe I wasn't using it right.
Bought a Stihl strimmer last year which came with a full harness, instead of just a shoulder strap. I find it more comfortable, and it's great to leave the harness on and just unclick the strimmer when I want to put it down, whereas previously I'd have to pull the entire shoulder strap over my head every time.
