Just got my handy and tried it a few times. It’s great especially with all the free scripts and such. I was thinking of using it for an hour or 2 lightly while maybe studying math or working on a book. Does it sound viable? I know about that long 2 hour edge script, the thread is massive for that one and I’ll probably use it but has anyone else tried doing something like this? Did it workout?
Another thing, it was kind of annoying that when I had the mount on my desk the mount would move side to side making me slip out. I could just rest my hand on top easily enough but I’m not sure if I can get a truly hands free set up. Maybe I need to twist and tighten the middle bolt more? I’ll look into that later.
If youre talking about the hands-free setup from thehandy store, yeah that thing isnt particularly robust. Most people bought and cobbled together their own handsfree setups long before they sold theirs.
From what i understand be very careful about over tightening their handsfree setup. Its not particularly sturdy and i have heard stories of the setup breaking.
Usually even if people are edging they’re still mindful/focused on the edging so theyre not a ‘distracted driver’. The main issue is if you pop out while not paying attention(esp since your setup is moving on its own) and the device keeps going causing injury. So yeah go nuts but make sure to set it up so you dont accidentally crush something if you slip out since youre not paying attention.
Damn, and here I thought it was the best. I just got the most wanted bundle. I’ll be careful with over tightening and will try to prevent any injury. That would suck if I did get injured
Its the most easily accessible due to being sold alongside the handy but it can’t be too expensive so people won’t buy it but it can’t be too cheap to not make a profit. Like it ‘works’ but its not great.
Handsfree Thread
There are way sturdier diy options people cobbled together in here. I think most users wouldn’t recommend Handy’s own handsfree solution, its mostly for the people who dont want to put together one on their own.
Yeah, I want a challenge but I also heard about people getting into like a hypnotic state when gooning I think? Not really into that but it does sound like a nice idea while I’m working.
