About Yeoman Handle
The Yeoman Handle is the ergonomic auxiliary grip that bolts onto the shaft of the string trimmer you already own—so you can finish the yard upright instead of folded over the factory loop. It’s built for homeowners who want back‑saving comfort without buying a new trimmer or wrestling with complicated installs.
How Does Yeoman Handle Work?
Yeoman Handle works by replacing the painful, low factory grip with a chest‑height, fixed‑angle handle called Plumb‑Set™.
- The Hold‑Fast™ Bracket slides onto your trimmer’s shaft (26 mm or 28 mm) and locks tight with a single bolt.
- Once installed, the grip sits about 9 inches above the standard loop and angles forward ~7°, putting your off‑hand at a natural chest height so your spine stays vertical while you trim.
- Because it clamps above the factory handle, you don’t need to remove anything—just slide, set, and tighten.
The result: both hands share the trimmer’s weight, your posture stays upright, and your lower back isn’t forced into a hunched position pass after pass.
Benefits of Using Yeoman Handle
- Back‑saving posture: Plumb‑Set™ geometry keeps your spine plumb (vertical) so you’re not bending and twisting for 20+ minutes at a time.
- Instant comfort: Most users feel the difference the first Saturday they use it—less locking, less wincing, more “I can actually enjoy the rest of the weekend.”
- Built to last: Reinforced steel Hold‑Fast™ bracket with dual‑contact pads grips the shaft firmly and resists slipping under torque.
- Universal fit: Works on most STIHL, Echo, Husqvarna, Ryobi, EGO, BLACK+DECKER—gas or battery—without removing the factory handle.
- Fits everyone: Slide‑and‑set positioning means a 6’2″ partner and a 5’6″ partner can both dial it to their own chest height on the same trimmer.
How to Use Yeoman Handle
- Slide the Hold‑Fast™ bracket onto your trimmer shaft above the factory loop handle.
- Set the height so the grip lands at your off‑hand’s natural chest position (not down by your hip).
- Tighten the single bolt with the included Allen key until the bracket is snug and secure.
- Trim as usual—let the Plumb‑Set™ angle do the work so you stay upright through the whole yard.
- Adjust anytime: Loosen, slide up/down for a different user or preference, and retighten.
Install takes about three minutes, no drilling, no cutting, no zip ties.
FAQs
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.
Do I have to remove the factory handle?
No. Yeoman Handle clamps above your existing loop handle, so you can keep it or ignore it—your choice.
How long does installation take?
About three minutes with the included Allen key. Slide it on, set the height, tighten the bolt, and you’re done.
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.
