Review on Makita 166094 6 Shoulder Strap by Jim Worthington

Makita 166094-6 Shoulder Strap for Makita XBU02Z Cordless Blower I have high expectations for Makita as it is my favorite cordless tool. Makita makes very high quality products, but some products need improvement. I was a bit disappointed with the thickness and strength as well as the width of the strap. It is only 1 1/2 inches wide and can be thicker for durability. The snap swivels work well, seem strong enough and flat enough to accept the attachment loop on the blower. The balance of the tool is good at the attachment points. The length adjustment is easy and will help you wear the blower longer. However, the belt sometimes interferes with maneuvering as it restricts movement. I use it about 50% of the time. It relieves my arms and forearms and overall I'm happy with the purchase.
