welcome back to steve rob reviews let me just turn this more off i'll get back to you
okay so for most of you yeah you seen me i had the mower going there i walked away from it and
it kept on running let's go in the shop i'll show you a little bit of a hack what i did with some
velcro or double sided loop tape i'll show you the product that i use it's going to be
a different color but let's go in the shop i'll show you how i do this and i find this a lot more
convenient than every time you know you stop you go to pick something up off your lawn and guess
what you gotta re-pull that starter and you know get the mower started again no i got no time for
that right so let's go in the shop i'll show you how it works okay so for all you that have
one of these mowers where it's got this bale handle that you have to hold on to all the time
and if you don't well it'll just stop right a lot of times you want to pick up something or
move a piece of lawn furniture or something like that well this is all i do like this and you know
it's so simple and of course i can undo it anytime i want i don't leave the machine unattended and
that's how easy it is right there so what i'm going to do is i'm going to take this apart for
you and i'm going to show you how this all went together so let's start off with the material
here now you can just pick this up anywhere this is three quarters of an inch thick and uh yeah
it's a double sided velcro you know it sticks to the opposite side and they're relatively cheap you
know for this like 10 bucks for i don't know like 30 feet but what do most people do well they reach
for a hunk of wire to stick on there to hold it on take the wire off and on and i've seen some people
use bungee cords you name it so let's take a look at the mower and i'll show you how it comes off
and how easy it is to rig one of these up and make your own little hack of holding this on and it's
so easy to take off and put back on now i like the orange here you know i have a piece of green
but uh very inexpensive and i think the best resolve to keeping that bell handle up
and the lawnmower running okay so here it is right here and all i've done
is on the back side i just got like a small little piece that i've just folded in there
this little piece here this is about an inch and a half long and it's just a couple of turns on
now at the end here i just folded it over for a double piece right see this extra piece here
i mean it just sticks right back on so easily like this and so this is about 11 inches
you just put it in the center like this
it comes back around i just get my little piece here that i just put in here just to fold it under
there put it under
and that just holds it on there a little bit better right and you make the loop around
now you just put it in the position that you want for yourself
and then it just holds it on i mean it's as easy as that
you know and this little piece here i usually have on the underside i'm just showing this
for demonstration here and that's about it and you can cut your grass all day long like that
okay so i know a lot of you guys are thinking you know what when you're doing this
you're defeating the safety on this particular machine yes you are absolutely and you know what
i'm only demonstrating this for myself not for you if you want to incorporate this idea well
you do it at your own risk i wouldn't recommend anybody do this kind of stuff you got little
children around or you know you can't leave the machine unattended but for me i found it a pain to
be turning around and adjusting and going around objects where you have to actually just let go for
a second and the machine dies out on you right so i got no time for that so i just thought i'd show
this a little bit of a hack today it's that simple it's that cheap and it's that easy to do so thanks
