YOUSHARES Double Shoulder Harness
A cheap padded double-shoulder harness with adjustable nylon straps that spreads a trimmer's weight — listed as a replacement for Stihl harness 4119 710 7001.
In short:The YOUSHARES harness is a padded double-shoulder strap with adjustable nylon webbing and a front hook, weighing about 300 g. It spreads a trimmer's weight across both shoulders and is listed as a replacement for Stihl's 4119 710 7001 harness on FS trimmers and KM KombiSystem units, but fits any machine with a carry ring. It's a cheap upgrade from a single strap; for heavy blade work a harness with a hip pad is better.

What it is
A padded double-shoulder harness with adjustable nylon straps and a front hook for your trimmer’s carry ring. The listing says it replaces Stihl’s harness 4119 710 7001 for FS trimmers and KM KombiSystem units, and weighs about 300 g. It was in stock from a third-party seller when we checked in October 2026.
Why double shoulder?
A single strap puts the whole weight on one shoulder. Spreading it across both cuts fatigue noticeably on longer jobs, and the machine swings more steadily. It’s the cheapest worthwhile comfort upgrade for any petrol trimmer.
Setting it up
Hook the harness to the carry ring, then adjust the straps so the cutting head floats just above the ground with your arms relaxed, and move the ring along the shaft until the machine balances. Step-by-step help is in how to adjust a brush cutter harness. Make sure you can unclip quickly in an emergency.
When to choose something better
For long sessions with a metal blade, a harness with a hip pad and a quick-release — such as a padded double harness or the Husqvarna Balance harness — carries the machine on your hips and swings more smoothly. Compare them in the best brush cutter harnesses.
