I was looking at something like this... to make the use more comfortable.

Yeoman handle

The one above can adjust the angle, I have seen another that is a fixed angle but slides in/out instead.

Anyone use one and did it help?

Following, being tall sucks with a weed eater.

I have something similar that I put on my snow shovel and it works really well. I thought about trying it on my weedeater but I'm fine with the stock handle. Amazon has knock offs that are really cheap.

Got one 2 weeks ago and have used it a few times. It takes a minute to get used to it, arms start hurting and so does your back since your standing straight up now. Once I worked it a little bit, I love it. Way easier now!

I’ve got one of those knock off ones. It’s better than the stock handle but not the greatest. Been using it for months now and still trying to find a good position for it.

I weedeat about 600 feet of ditches mainly so haven’t found a great solution yet for making weed below my feet more comfortable. For the rest of my yard it works fine

Yes. Saw a random Facebook ad for one and bought it. Took forever for it to get here from China but it was worth the wait. It's a back saver for sure.

I bought three of them for my older aunts and an uncle who do their own weedeatin. One aunt loves it because it keeps her back from hurting. The other two are too stubborn to use them!

I have had one for two years and love it. Really makes it easier.

Yes. It's just like a bidet. You don't know what you're missing until you try it.

Darwin’s Grip is the gold standard.

I second the Darwin grip. I have one on my trimmer and the stick edger. After doing yardwork, my back used to be a wreck. Not anymore.

The strap that comes with most trimmers is not widely used but actually does help. Might wanna give that a shot.

Bought one very similar to this about 2 months ago and like it a lot. My lower back doesn’t hurt after weedeating any more.
