The Yeoman Rig™ is a compression shoulder support worn over your shirt, on the shoulder that carries the machine. It puts steady compression and warmth across the deltoid and upper arm for the length of a job, and damps some of the vibration coming up the arm.

It was built around string trimming because that is the worst offender: one arm, extended, forty minutes, vibrating. But it does the same job with anything you hold out and away from your body. A hedge trimmer, a chainsaw, a blower, a pressure washer, a snow blower, a wheelbarrow of mulch, a deck sander overhead.

What you get: a contoured shoulder cap, adjustable at the shoulder and the chest strap. Over your shirt or under it. On in about ten seconds. Choose a single, a pair or two pairs above, and set which shoulder each one is for.

Let us be straight with you, because you have been sold things that did not work. A compression support does not lock your shoulder joint in place, and anyone telling you it does is overselling it.

The Hold-Up™ is our contoured compression cap, and here is what it genuinely does. It puts even compression across the deltoid and upper arm while you are holding a fixed position. It keeps the joint warm, which matters on a cold morning start. It gives you feedback on where your arm is, so you hold it better without thinking about it. And it damps some of the vibration travelling up from the engine.

It does not hold your shoulder together. It helps hold it up. That is a smaller claim than the shelf makes, and it is the true one.

A journeyman is a tradesman who has finished his apprenticeship and does the work for a living. The Journeyman Cut™ is our fit standard, and it is built around that man instead of a twenty-five-year-old on a gym floor.

It adjusts at two points, the shoulder cap and the chest strap, so you set the tension yourself rather than hoping an off-the-shelf size lands right. That is what lets it pull in tight over a work shirt or a jacket, and loosen off to sit under one if you would rather wear it against a base layer. Same support either way. You are not stuck choosing between a fit that works and clothing that makes sense for the weather.

The sizing runs up, generously, and we will say so out loud. It is made to breathe through a full day outdoors, not a forty-five minute session indoors. And it does not bind at full extension, which is the exact position you are in when you are running a trimmer out in front of you.

Most of the category gets this wrong because it was never designed for your body or your job.

Moderate chewers like Goldens, Labs and Doodles get 3 to 6 weeks from one stick. Power chewers like Pitties, Shepherds and Boxers get 1 to 3 weeks. Soft-mouthed seniors often go past 6 weeks.

Coffee wood is one of the densest hardwoods on earth, so it is built to last. If your dog finishes one faster than the range above, size up. The larger the stick, the longer the chew.

Choose the side that carries the machine. For most right-handed operators that is the right shoulder, because the right hand sits on the throttle and takes the weight of the engine end.

Not sure? Go out and pick your trimmer up the way you normally hold it. Whichever shoulder is doing the holding is the one to pick.

You set the shoulder for every brace in your order. Pick your pack above, then choose left or right for each brace in it. A pair does not have to be two of the same: take one for each shoulder if you switch hands or run more than one machine, or take two of the same side if one shoulder does all the work and you want a spare.

90-day money-back: Wear it through a full Saturday. If your shoulder does not feel different by the time you shut the machine off, send it back for a full refund. No restocking fee. Keep the free guides regardless.

Lifetime warranty: If the stitching goes, the buckle fails or the velcro stops holding under normal use, we replace it. No fine print and no expiry. We built this to be the last one you buy.

1-day processing: Orders placed today go out tomorrow.
