Backpack blower harness clasp?

[glenintenn]

Anyone seen this style of clasp for the shoulder straps on <any equipment>? This is the harness clip for the lower ends of the shoulder straps on a backpack blower.

How is it supposed to stay secure? The tongue slips out of its slot quite easily and then the actual clasp falls off. I can imagine losing this in the gravel or leaves in the fall. Is there a way this supposed to work other than just tension on the shoulder strap to keep it secure?

What kind of blower?

It's a no-namer: Schroder (Schroeder) SR-8000 you can see here ( https://schroderusa.com/collections...backpack-leaf-blower-model-sr-6000-4-3hp-80cc )

There's no indication in the manual. May just put a zip tie through the hole in the tongue but I thought maybe it's a common strap connector with some cool purpose (which I could not figure out). As-delivered, it just seems like a good way to have the 20+ pound blower fall off your back at an inopportune moment.

Never heard of it. How does it run?

purrs like a very loud cat. I've only had it a few days. Let's see.

Is it made in China?

Just a quick release for the strap. If the clip is hooked to the blower frame and the quick release is hooked to the strap, how would you lose anything?

Leave the clasp attached to the equipment and pull the tab to quick release as stated I t the previous post. I have this setup on a brush cutter, it’s nice after you get used to working it.
