I'm a 72 yr old widowed woman who has never used these tools I am now forced to learn because I can't pay someone to do it. I absolutely loved your description of how to change the string "thingy". I was able to go out and do it without a hitch. I so appreciate your help.

You are a angel sent by god. I’m a very young man trying to do right by his maw. And my weed eater has just been the bane of my existence... now I can weed eat without screwing with this spool every 10-20 minutes of using this string! 🙏🙇‍♂️

Simple but genius!!! After watching your video, I had 5 yards to do and when I went to do the weed eating I was out a string and tried your method and it worked fantastic!!!Thanks so much for sharing, hope you have a great day!!!!👍😃

My dad passed away last year and strimming was always his job. I'm trying to figure it out this year and this was a god send. Thanks all the way from Ireland.

I could actually cry. Thank you so much. Without my usual help, lockdown has seen my grass get higher with every fresh rain shower, it's now almost waist height and I have spent so many hours trying to work out how to string this bloody thing, always ending up in a frustrated tangle. Now my trimmer (what we call them in the UK) is loaded (5 minutes, first try!) and I'm going to claim back my garden. Huge hugs from Yorkshire, England and bless you for sharing this!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’m a 60+ years young lady that used to pay someone to take care of my backyard. I’ve found myself unemployed and taking care of my backyard myself. I couldn’t figure out how to load my “weedwacker”!!! Your video is a Godsend!!🙏🏾

Tip: If you notice more line breakage than what you feel is normal, drop your roll of unused line in a bucket of water for a day or two. Old line can become brittle and a good soaking can reverse this from happening. This is equally true with a new roll of line as there is no way of knowing how many seasons it was on the shelf prior to your purchase.

Well done on the method. I work at a STIHL shop myself. Only suggestions to make it easier would be that if you just take 4 arm lengths and cut it. Put each end in the spool as you did and spool it till you're left with a short loop. Latch each edge in the notches built into the spool for holding your line while putting the spool into the head and cut the loop of line. Pull the line from the edge of the spool into the appropriate eyelet and they hold themselves there. Put your faceplate on and go. Otherwise this is super helpful and will recommend it for people who don't have time in the shop. My method would just save you the time of measuring two seperate pieces cause you can cut it at the very end, the spool is built and designed for that. The notches on the top edge of the spool opposite each other. And the effort of holding the line once it's been spooled, hooking it into the notch on the top of the spool removes that risk/effort of holding it from unwinding completely.

Great Video. I can't believe how I struggled with this task. It took forever and of course when you are trying to get a job done, you get frustrated when things aren;t going right. I used your method and got restung and whacking again in just a couple of minutes. Thank you!

Thank you for this video, the landscaper, that cut my grass for many years passed away unfortunately, and I have equipment that I need to learn how to work, so I watched this video, and I am happy to have learned how to string a trimmer. Binge watching your videos now!!!

Wow great educational video! I just got an fs 91 R and I wasnt used to having 2 separate lines in the weed eater so the way I put it in took me way longer than it should. You’re a real time saver thanks 🙏

Your tutorial was all I needed. Thanks sir. I was getting so frustrated on how to properly line my string up. Now its a breeze thanks to you.

Well, you are a very jolly American gentleman, Sir! 😄 Brightened my morning and thank you for the very good tip. 👍

Dude, First try, thank you. First time, I've bought my own weed eater. Every other time I've dealt with it others have strung it up. This was easy to do. Well done, sir.

Thanks for this! Parents told me to do some yard work today, so I figured I'd go the extra mile and surprise them with a nice weedeated front yard!

Good well executed video. Instead of holding the reel stationary, I hold the 2 sections of string on either side of my middle finger of one hand and hold the reel on top and bottom with the other hand then spin the reel in my hand. This keeps them from twisting and takes even more time off. Thanks!

I watched three lame videos before finding yours and yours was the one that was actually helpful, cheers mate!

Thank You!!! I have to go to your video every year to find out how to remove the head from my trimmer and its always easy, but easy to forget! So you are a Godsend every spring when I replace my string and other simple things that most folks already know by my age (72). You are the one I search for and always get simple answers that I can go "AHAAA! Now I remember!"
