Turn the side that connects to the trimmer. It keeps the line from tangling up
How much?

These do not work on electric weed eaters. If someone says they do, don't believe them. I tried on black and decker and homelite brand and was disappointed. Save your money.
@@SilverCymbal The link in your discription and these comments is not for the universal version. It's for the version that only fits up to Echo trimmers. I ordered thinking it was universal and got the head only with no adapters.
I am a 80 yr old still doing my own yard work and loving it. Refilling trimmer line is a night mare, but your video explained it so well that off i go to Home Depot to get a speed feeder for my electric weed eatter. You are a doll for doing this video.
I agree with her - except he's "dude" ... 😃😃😎😎
1 o ' clock in the morning in Australia and I am watching this ! Great stuff !
I bought my first one at Home Depot or Lowe's years ago, maybe 15. I asked the repair shop about them and they suggested not getting one, a couple of years later they were selling them too. Saved the adapter kit and have used this head on Stihl, Echo, Tanaka, and others. The machine wears out but the head hasn't. Probably the best aftermarket product I have ever purchased. Thank you.
I am new first time home owner. Your Channel is a god send. I have used my dad and your videos for alot of help. My wife and friends are surprised by how much I know. Truth is...... I use your videos as a life guide and some day show my son the ancient way of the suburban man. Thanks for everything you do. You have helped alot of people out more than you know.
I could kiss you for making this video!!!!!!!!! Man the number of choice expletives I've let out over the years, the number of battles I've lost with many a strimmer. Just what I need. Thanks a ton!
Hope you are cute! Glad it helped!
This video has inspired me to begin edging once again. I have had the old type and it has been the MOST frustrating thing I have EVER had to deal with. I just purchased my head at Home Depot and will be giving it my first try tomorrow...I am hoping and praying my nightmare has come to an end!! Thank you so much for this video, it made me laugh at your comments and gives me hope to be able to trim the edges of my yard!!! Thank you so much!!
you must have voted for biden.
@@user-io4jl4jx9q Let’s go Brandon.
Your style of sharing information is very fluid, easy to follow and comprehensive. Didn't realize trimmer had a cut off point.
And slow AF 😂
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. I was very frustrated today trying to replace the string on my trimmer and thought to myself that there has to be a better way. I had a feeling there was a solution out there, however, I went to the hardware this afternoon and asked if there was a solution to this messy process, but they had nothing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have to add to what a lot of people said. You made my life more enjoyable, with the way you explained in detail. I actually don't mind trimming the lawn now. Thank you.
I sub'd just for this video alone. I cannot express how much agony I've gone through stringing trimmers over and over. Great advice!
I found a head like this accidentally at a farm supply store when looking for a replacement head for my trimmer so I could loan it to my grandson to mow and trim lawns. I have it back now and love it.
Great demonstration, you did this slow enough for me to follow what you are doing, thank you.
Usually these things are a blur. I always dread putting new string on . I am ordering now, I have the exact
Machine you are using and it is the best one I have owned in 30 years.
Great idea and great job in the presentation, you were very clear and easy to follow. Thank you. These string trimmers have been a nightmare for years!!!! 💖👍🙋♂️
Thank you very much. This is one of my favorites
I have one of those and I've had it for about 3 years absolutely recommended
Oops
Speed Heads have been helping keep yards mowed and houses painted cheaply for decades.
Ever since you showed me this 2 years ago I've never looked back. It changed the game
This is awesome. Totally going to get me one. Thank you sooo much for making life easier!!!! Thanks for being amazing!!
Thank you very much after you start using it you will be even happier, It's a really nice thing. Thanks for watching,
Try this method before you run out and buy this.
Judging by the comments, many know about this type of attachment but most of us didn't. Thanks for the tip and nice edging! I assume it's bump feed also? Nice vid and God bless! 😁
Thank you very much, yes it is a bump feed and has a nice design without the button so that means you can tap it anywhere on the bottom and it will feed nicely. Thanks for the watching,

There you go again, making our lives a little easier. Thank you.
Great video! Bonus points for doing an edging job at the end that doesn't need done lol.
I've been landscaping for 15 years and I love winding string on a head. My favorite are the Redmax heads, very easy to use.
It gives you a break from the work when you stop to wind it on :)
Your videos are always so informative and helpful. I have the same system and love it! Thank you!
Oh my goodness you're a life saver with this video!! I was livid with replacing the string. I must get one of those!! Thank you
This seems like a really good idea, for people who do landscaping for a living, and have to reload relatively often(compared to normal maintenance, where you might reload every few months, for your average homeowner)
That's me - all the commercial grade string trimmers have had line heads like this for years, it's only the low end domestic trimmers that have the crappy ones you need to take apart.
The real innovation of the last few years is the auto wind heads on some electric commercial trimmers. You just push the line through the holes until equal amount on both ends, press the button, and the machine winds it all in for you.
This is great for commerical use, because while manual wind heads work well at first... after a year or two of heavy use, all the plant gunk makes them hard to turn. Spraying them with resin solvent helps though.
You just showed up randomly and my recommendations. You did a great job of explaining. It was really easy to understand and I feel Fearless to attack my weed wacker!
Thank you very much for the nice comment and good luck with your weed wacking!
My ego lawn mower does it like this. Except i only push a button to wind it up electronically
Bought the GroundsKeeper rake, and now this! Thanks
Both really great buys for the buck. Thanks
Watched your video thanks so much. I am a 73 year old female and I am weedwacker challenged. Thanks so much I feel confident that I can replace the string on my weedwacker. Susan Lander, Mercer, Pa
I picked up an Ego line trimmer and its the best thing ever. The chain saw rocks as well. The trimmer feed’s itself and sooo easy to refill new line just as you are showing here.
I needed that 10 years ago and.NOW, thanks did. 💋
I have been working for a small professional lawn care CO.for 3 years now and all 6 of our trimmers have that head on them. The best IMO and also the best at flat trimming.I can match the hight of the mowers perfect as if the mowers had cut all the way to the homes and such
Right on
Is it still working good after a year?
@@waskele.wabbit717 yes sir only had to change the cap once so far
I have this mechanism on my craftsman trimmer natively. It's the first one I ever bought and haven't needed a new one in 10 years. I always thought this was the standard on all trimmers and never gave it another thought.
Yeah all the decent high end/commercial grade trimmers have been using these heads for years. The cool innovation of recent times is the electric auto rewind heads, they make it absurdly easy
Best video ever. I have been so frustrated with this situation. Thank you so much !
I'm happy to come across your channel. Didn't know about this design. I can see why you love it, and I can't wait to get one!
Thanks
Thank you very much I really appreciate it.
this was super helpful and flawlessly explained!
Just bought one of these for my Stihl string trimmer because of your video. Thanks for the info on what looks like a great upgrade!
I was soooo sick of fighting the string. I just gave in and bought several factory ones. Spending way more but it stopped the headache. This thing is genius. Getting one today...
How do you advance the line when it breaks ?
And if the line breaks just inside the one of the holes on the head how do you get the line back out side ?
Any answers yet after 2 yrs ?
exactly what I wonder
I have had one of these for 5 years. Easy and fast and never fails.
I have a Flymo contour 500 and I was doing my daughters garden, and I was stopping every few minutes to pull the cable out, the air was starting to turn blue, finding this I will be placing an order through Amazon.
Thank god for RUclips and people like yourself informing us.
I have the Toro electric trimmer that uses the same kind of line feeding system. Love it and will never go back to the old type. Great break down!
THANK You so much I have three new never used stringers because I couldn't get them on. You have solved my problem love you love you love you.
My TroyBilt trimer has this head as standard equipment, it works great.
I love these Fast Feed Trimmer Heads..I can never see myself going back to the old Stringer Heads Again. Thanks for the Video!
Excellent job in showing the reason we should change the trimmer head and how to do it. Thank You !
I just bought a brand new Makita string trimmer that came standard with a head that works just like this. Best head I've ever used.
I never used any Makita cordless products and have been thrilled far beyond my expectations with this one. I have added some other tools as my budget allows that you will see in future videos too. Very nice stuff they make.
Which model Makita trimmer did you buy? Don't they only have 1 head. Got one and install instructions are lacking and original head spins off when engaged . Will try your allen wrench but only see as useful to remove and not secure head.
Best head you ever got??
Thats the one that came with my echo trimmer. Its awesome and so easy.
How does more string come out? It automatic?
Bought a Lowe’s Kobalt electric a few years back. It’s a Torque Monster. Eats small trees. Came with this system and I love it . Thanks for the flashlite trick .
Heart of a teacher right there! ... :)
I have 3 large string trimmers and 2 of them have this system, it appears mine were made by a different manufacturer than the one shown here, but work the exact same way, push the line through and wind up, this works extremely well for me, never binds up like the one I have with the ordinary string reloading method.
if it looks the same as the one shown in the vid but not the same brand its more than likely a shindaiwah which is a parent company of Echo
say no more!! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 I am dancing with joy!
My ECCO weed eater already comes with a head like this and I love it! My old weed eater was awful to load string.
A really helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to make it!
I have been using the speed feed heads for years ... they work great
I was hyped thinking they came out with something better...same here though I like them
Hey everyone, it's PPC!!!! Hi Paul!
Are these Bump Feed too?
Pattay's Performance yep
@@pattayperformance yes the only bad part is the covers seem to wear fast if you bump them on concrete...I can make them last two years my guys that work for me go through 1 or 2 a year. The whole thing is like 25 and the covers are like 12
my ryobi that I bought 9 years ago re strings like that. It has been a heck of a trimmer and still runs great.
Yep. I was gonna say the same thing. Too bad I sold it when we moved :(
Same! Ryobi branded equipment is great!
Hey Brandon, Which Ryobi model is it? Thanks.
Romin Hawk I have the Expand-it weed eater by Ryobi. Does the same thing. Also have the blower attachment. Both work great!
Same but I got mine not too long ago, you even have the same name as me.
Mate, if it's as good as you say it is, you have saved my sanity, thanks for sharing this!
Great tip and very thorough demonstration. Thank you
AMEN MY FRIEND !
The "SPEEDFEED" was originally sold by Shindaiwa !
Which has now merged with ECHO !
I have been a dealer for over Sixteen years !!!
Wish I had thought of this gem myself !
Extremely user friendly !
No need to ever take the head apart NEVER AGAIN !
You have the universal adapter version !
It as you have correctly advised, fits nearly every major brand !
THE SPEEDFEED IS EVERYTHING YOU SAID AND MORE !
does "nearly every major brand" include battery operated models. My B&D has a single cutter line. Can it run a dual line head like this?
@@EveryMan333
It will create greater resistance on your unit.
I don't think it would be an issue for it, but I would hate to tell you wrong.
Otherwise, the
Speed Feed Universal system will have all the necessary adapters for you to use it on your unit !
@@quadsman11 thanks, man. I wonder if it will deplete the battery in half the time. in the name of Science I have to try this don't I...
@@EveryMan333
Well,
wasn't going to say that,
but if you are willing . . .
I highly doubt you are going to deplete by half though.
"Curiosity killed the cat" and I am definitely curious !
If you do it, please let me know !
Thank you so much for showing me how to take off the head and add the attachment.
You are so welcome!
Stihl has those heads stock, works like a dream.
Really helpful video and great teaching style. Appreciate it!
It's 2020 and you just made my summer. I hate weed trimmers and the tangled line messes. Thank you.
Milwaukee trimmer has this head from factory it came on my trimmer
I literally just bought a brand new Echo this week. It has this trimmer head. I have not used it yet. I plan to tomorrow. Thank you for the tutorial!
Very cool, you will love having that.
My Ryobi comes like this. I love it!
Love the speed feed,when it’s on the trimmer,and I’m reloading, I put my left thumb and middle finger on the two holes and wind the backing plate with my right hand, it keeps a little tension on the string for the first three or four winds, if you do right you don’t get any tangles
Ya, I bet you put that left thumb and middle finger OTHER place too !!
oh please say that again..you know a picture speaks a thousand words.
Love it! Ordering one today.
Thank you, you will love it they work so well - amzn.to/2XmgiJ9
Pretty good line you're cutting on that bed. You've got some experience and a steady hand.
I appreciate that. I am always trying and practice helps but there are plenty of pros that put me to shame. Watch for some new videos on this topics coming soon soon.
I just watched this and it may have just saved me lot's of headaches...lol thanks for the link I hope its still available 3 years later and mad in the usa.😊
I just ordered this. Thanks so much for your video- I was just checking on what to get!!
I have the Ryobi speed winder, it's amazing and so easy
Have it and love it!
I watched a recent video of yours and wondered how you changed out the string so fast. I thought you did a jump cut. Now I know what I need to get.
Brilliant thanks for the tip & the link
Excellent. I finally learnt & found someone that explain it in a way that made it logical to me. Very grateful for your kind & simple explanation!
I pre-cut several lenghts of string to the correct size, roll up the strings individually & secure them with twisty ties, keep them in my truck door, every time I start my day of lawn cutting I grab one, put it in my pocket as an extra bc you know you'll be the farthest away from your truck when the head runs out of string!! I pull out the extra string from my pocket, reload & go!!
Thx for making this video. You did an Awesome job on your edging!
Holy lord....were has that been my whole life??? 😆
Thank's, I'm looking it up right now!!!✌
this is the first time i've ever seen or heard of this.. cue the clouds to part and the angels to sing.
I couldn't agree more, I do plenty of DIY but stringing line the old way is just bad news. Glad you liked it.
@@SilverCymbal by the time I watch the clouds part and angles sing I could restring another weed trimmer the old school way. Bunch of sissy babies!!!!!!!!
Scott Chapman sounds like an ol' dog that refuse to learn a new trick. Speed feed heads are the bomb, they are professional & quick to load without issue. Mine auto feeds amazingly and rarely requires a bump for more line. Angels sing to the lawn God's - may the clouds part for all exception to Scott C.
@@markhoffman3288 scott is buying into his own bs.. and remember, no one ever lies online, ever!
@@scottchapman8044 youtube experiencing difficulties.. so to use your own logic as to what equates to masculinity.. Do you hunt and kill all your own food? no? loss of all man points! Sack up cupcake and be a real man and stop shopping the the emasculating store for your food! see how your logic works against you? moron!
Thank you sir!
Might actually start using my trimmer again! 😆👍
This ,akes a big difference, from frustrated to easy!
I bought an electric trimmer several years ago. This trimmer comes with this trimmer head. Best and easiest trimmer to reload trimmer line I have ever had.
Yep the saves so much time iv been using them for around 10 years now.
Love the Echo speed feed. Been using them for years. It’s the best head for a trimmer. Nothing close.
Absolutely these are so great! amzn.to/2XmgiJ9
Echo head, but not Echo trimmers haha.
Going to pick this up, I’m going to flex so hard on my neighbors 😂
Lmfaooooooo
Easily the best amzn.to/2XmgiJ9 you can ever buy to make your life a little easier.
Wow wow… wow!!!! Why has no one thought of this sooner.. seriously pretty neat!!
I got the DeWalt version of this and absolutely love it!!! When tapped to feed the line it feed just a few inches a tap and no water line to cut off from over feeding. 3 taps is a full feed. I’ve never had to have it cut off any line yet. Well worth the cost and very fast to load 30’ of line.
Really good to no that I don’t have to fight my weed whacker anymore thanks
Not to be racist but are you spanish?
Thank-you for the great tip.
Just the tip.
We just bought one and put it on the string trimmer it is amazing
Woooooowww!!!! My life is worth living again! Oh thank you, thank you thank you, you wonderful person, you are a hero.
I have the EXACT same Makita trimmer as you and came across your video by chance when I wasn't even looking up such topic! Your EXCELLENT video demo of how the SpeedFeed works from start to finish was so awesome that I ended up ordering 2 for my 2 trimmers and man has it greatly improved my weed whacking experience!!! Was able to load and perform exactly as you demoed and I can't THANK YOU enough!!!!
same here. ive been googling and came across is as well. i need to upgrade my guard though too🤣
I have never been able to restring my trimmers with much success. I have even gone out and got new trimmers to try and find a head like this one. Thanks for the heads up on this.
Seriously; if I can get this thing to work I will not loose my mind! Thanks.
Yeah, I hate trimmers because of the string. This adapter will make my life so much easier! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It's really awesome, you will love it
It's STHIL ! A STRING ! TRIMMER !!
Drives me crazy how short your string is but I can’t argue with good results. Nice job!
I think you know it wasn't left short... that was only during install.
when you wind your string you never get short/long sides??
I’m a greenkeeper and we use them absolutely love them
Just came across your video. I replaced the head on one of my string trimmers with this type head a while ago. Love it! My other one came with a similar head from the factory.
Now for the real reason I’m commenting. Operating a string trimmer wearing shorts and sandals isn’t the best idea. I’ve seen several injuries from these units that would have been avoided if the operator had been wearing jeans and shoes. Yeah, it’s uncomfortable in the warm weather! But not nearly as uncomfortable as losing a toe or two or a nasty gouge in your leg. BE SAFE!
Great content. Wastes no time getting right to the point! Thanks!
Like the way you get right to it.
Ryobi have had a spool like this for at least 12 years. Nothing new here in the uk, definitely a better system then the old way
Jonny Be good Ryobi is what I use
Exactly. I thought I was going to see a new revolutionary system. Back to my Ryobi.
These are the bomb. I saw a guy that had his apart trying to restring it.
I said gimme that thang and showed him how to wind it.
He was so grateful.
When I bought two of these I didn’t pay attention and then I remembered how to push the string through the too wholes turn the spindle and it’s so fast I love it I am old fashioned manual string guy now I changed
That’s the best head hands down.
