Aux handle for KM 110R straight shaft edger

[shadco]

Is anyone aware of an auxiliary handle that I could add to me KM110R when using a straight shaft edger.

It's killing my lower back, I have about 1000 feet to edge weekly, and I'm an old codger, when I adjust it for max cut the little straight handle is just out of reach unless I bend over to reach it and stabilize the edger which kills my back. If it was 6 inches longer it would be fine.

Would just adding on a loop handle help?

The little straight handle attaches to the bottom of the standard loop handle.

It's mockingly just out of comfortable reach


maybe a larger loop handle would work.

You can remove the handle and replace it closer to the throttle. They also sale universal string trimmer handles.
