What is the Yeoman Handle?
The Yeoman Handle is the ergonomic auxiliary grip that bolts onto your existing string trimmer so you can finish the yard upright instead of folded over the factory loop. Its Plumb‑Set™ geometry positions your off‑hand at chest height, keeping your spine vertical and sharing the trimmer’s weight between both hands.
Will Yeoman Handle fit my trimmer?
Yes—if your shaft is 26 mm or 28 mm (the standard on most STIHL, Echo, Husqvarna, Ryobi, EGO, BLACK+DECKER, gas or battery), Yeoman Handle will fit. It clamps above your existing loop handle, so you don’t need to remove anything.
Do I have to remove the factory handle?
No. Yeoman Handle is designed to work with your current setup. It mounts above the factory loop handle, so you can keep it, ignore it, or use both—your choice.
How long does installation take?
About three minutes. Slide the Hold‑Fast™ bracket onto your trimmer shaft, set the height so the grip lands at your natural chest position, and tighten the single bolt with the included Allen key. No drilling, no cutting, no zip ties.
How do I set the right height?
Stand upright with your trimmer in your dominant hand. Slide Yeoman Handle up the shaft until the grip meets your off‑hand at a comfortable chest height—elbow slightly bent, shoulder relaxed. Tighten the bolt and start trimming. If it feels too high or low, just loosen, adjust, and retighten.
Can more than one person use the same handle?
Absolutely. Because it slides up and down the shaft, different users can set it to their own chest height on the same trimmer. Perfect for partners, roommates, or family members who share tools.
Does Yeoman Handle work on curved‑shaft trimmers?
Yes. As long as your shaft diameter is 26 mm or 28 mm, Yeoman Handle will fit straight‑shaft and curved‑shaft trimmers alike. The Hold‑Fast™ bracket is designed to grip securely on both.
Will it fit my electric or battery‑powered trimmer?
Yes. Yeoman Handle works on gas, electric corded, and battery‑powered trimmers from major brands (STIHL, Echo, Husqvarna, Ryobi, EGO, BLACK+DECKER, and more) as long as the shaft is 26 mm or 28 mm.
Does it add a lot of weight?
No. Yeoman Handle is lightweight but strong, built with a reinforced steel bracket and durable grip. Most users barely notice the added weight—but they definitely notice the difference in posture and comfort.
Can I use it for edging as well as trimming?
Yes. Whether you’re trimming along fences, edging driveways, or cleaning up around trees, the chest‑height grip helps you stay upright and balanced through every motion.
Is Yeoman Handle suitable for professional landscapers?
While Yeoman Handle is designed primarily for homeowners who do their own yard work, many pros use it on personal trimmers or as a comfort upgrade on less demanding jobs. If you spend hours trimming daily, it can still reduce strain—but it’s optimized for weekend warriors who want pain‑free yards.
What if my shaft size is slightly different?
Yeoman Handle is engineered for 26 mm and 28 mm shafts, which cover the vast majority of consumer trimmers. If you’re unsure of your shaft size, measure the diameter with a ruler or caliper. If it’s close to these sizes, it will likely fit snugly. If you have questions, reach out—we’re happy to help.
How do I clean or maintain Yeoman Handle?
Just wipe it down with a damp cloth after use. If dirt or grass builds up in the bracket, rinse it off and dry thoroughly. Periodically check the bolt to ensure it’s tight, and retighten if needed. No special maintenance required.
