    My yard has been going crazy w/all this rain lately and all I have is a weed eater and w/prices now...the line I used to get went from $5 to $12 so now, I was looking for a how to video. After several "meh" ones I'm glad I ran into yours. Thanks for the thorough explanation. I was about to sub but I noticed this was your last video in 4 years.

    All the "how to" videos ive watched that just annoyed the hell out of me cuz they just yapped and yapped and went on and on for 30 mins or more. Just for the actual info to literally be only 2 mins long.
    And then i find your video... I could listen to you talk about nothing aaallll day. You would do extremely well doing hypnosis audios. Youre voice and speech are incredibly hypnotic. ❤️

  • @eddzubak8671
    @eddzubak8671 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I measure out several 30’ lengths of string and wrap them back onto an empty string roll for storage . I find that this saves the most time when I sit down and do multiple spools .

  • @johnknight8435
    @johnknight8435 Před 3 lety +7

    The best! Thank you! When I saw 14 minutes I looked for other (shorter) videos but came back to this. Glad I did! So thorough! No fast forwarding. The last step was crucial for me: how to hold the line after you finish winding it. Really appreciated the comments about sore thumb muscles too. Excellent!

    Using your instructions I have successfully restrung my B & D line trimmer several times. It's a little tedious, however, considering the savings I can put up with it. I noticed that it helps to pare down the line at its end with a utility knife in order to first insert it into the small hole. I would recommend purchasing some extra pre-strung spools to have on hand when the original spool becomes worn and bites the dust. In addition I would suggest purchasing a spare orange cap with spring. Some ebay sellers have a six pack of the black pre-strung spools with an orange cap and spring included. Thanks for posting this. Very helpful.

Your thumb will probably appreciate (or not) the exercise!!! And as you said DON'T LET IT SLIP OUT OF YOUR HAND! I almost finished once and accidentally drop it and all the bad words I know just came out of my mouth!!!

    i have 3 b&d string trimmers. The motors burn out really fast. Once you get into some tall grass you'll start to smell an oily firey odor, then you see smoke coming out of the motor housing. I'm going to see if they sell replacement motors. The third one is now starting to burn and I just paid the Lowes bill with the trimmer purchase last week.
