How to alleviate String Trimming Pain
How about an Attachment to Make your String Trimmer [http://trimmerassist.net/Trimmerassist.html] Float?
Sounds crazy huh? Of course it is a little crazy that String Trimmers have been on the Market for over 30 years now, and still there has been no successful attachment or invention to reduce the physical stress of carrying a String Trimmer who’s average weight is 14 pounds.
If you are old enough to remember, before the String Trimmer was introduced the only way to Trim the edges of lawns was to use the garden scissors. I remember doing this when I was a kid and it was a horrible job considering how long it took to make any difference at all. If fact it was so much trouble that now I wonder why people even took the time to do it. But as always, necessity is the mother of invention and eventually someone created the first String Trimmer.
In the last 30 years, people have tried using straps and shoulder harnesses to ease the pain of lugging the String Trimmer around the whole yard. The down side to these applications is that they reduce the mobility of movement due to the length of the strap being fixed. The user would sometimes pick the String Trimmer up off the strap to trim close in, and then bend over to try and get extra reach. This back and forth action winds up being more physically stressful than not using one at all.
Now that a new revolutionary invention has been created to actually make a 14 pound String Trimmer seem to Float in the Air, now people will look back on the old days where the String Trimmer was just lugged around the yard. Inventions tend to spoil us as once we try a practical invention that solves a big problem, we can never go back to the way things were.
Before the Trimmer Assist was invented, people have been suffering from extreme lower back pain due to carrying the weight with a leveraged angle which strains the lower back muscles. The use of the Trimmer Assist alleviates this awkward leverage since it holds the weight of the String Trimmer when it is pulled in and when it is held outward. This full range of mobility with all the String Trimmer weight being held on the shoulder rather than the hands, turns the String Trimming experience into something that is fun to do.
