Thank you for taking your time in showing how to do it. I know it’s not rocket science but it’s a pain until you find out how to actually do it right.
After I’m wrestling with my Dewalt for the last three years, I finally realized I’ve been loading the line incorrectly this entire time. Thank you for the video.
Same
I’ve been using weed trimmers for 35 years…yours is the first tutorial that I saw a simultaneous winding of both strings…that is a wonderful tip that worked great on the Dewalt spool. I’m really impressed with the Dewalt Battery Trimmer. For the price, I hope it last. 😁👍
quality seems to be good, I just sold my 40V trimmer after 5+ years of use with no issues, I now have a 20V model that folds, hopefully it will last for at least 10 years
35 years I’ve been wrestling with trim spools and if I’d only watched this, I would have been able to load trim string so much easier. Thanks for a well-done easy to follow video!
This video is right on point ,every step really helps for those who are beginners to do it yourself yard work
I'm a beginner and this helped immensely.
Thanks for the compliment!
For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.
After watching this, I changed my trimmer line in a matter of minutes compared to previous attempts. Thank you.
And fewer curse words!
Man I can’t tell you how thankful I am you you posted this. It was so helpful!
Glad it was helpful! It won't stop raining here, so I need to get ready for lots of weeds soon.
I have that same head and spool....I cannot get the freekin' spool off.!!! I hafta pry on it with 2 screwdrivers and try to pry it off. I even have used a Dremel tool to cut back all of the white circle lockers and it still takes me a ton of time to get the stinkin' think off. Will the ECHO Speed Feed head work on the 60v.? or 40v.? Thanks for your video. Just would like to know the trick in getting off that spool.
Amazing. I struggled for more than a year. Thanks for sharing♥️
Man you were tight on point,dewalt needs to pay u something for the great presentation they failed to give with the Instructions! Thanks amigo fromS. Ft.worth
Thank you for the thorough explanation. I lost the manual and struggled with it until I thought to check on RUclips and saw you video. Seems so simple now lol
I never even thought about loading my string like this, but I will now! I’ve been doing each side individually and it’s always frustrating. Thanks for the great video
Perfect! What an excellent video. Fixed my problem immediately and fast. Elements of a great demo video:
1. To the point.
2. No music, thank you!!!
3. Showed the process clearly in pictures.
4. Soothing voice, just enough being said.
5. Covered all points of the string loading with actual demo.
6. Short.
Thank you! 👍👍👍
Video was perfect length. I fought with mine for a minute and after watching this it all made perfect sense. Thanks.
Jesus Christ. What genius at DeWalt decided to go lefty tighty? Thanks for this.
This is the best instructional video on how to do this. I finally can do it with ease!! Thank you!
The string size is determined by the size and difficulty of the job you’re doing. For most home applications.095 is fine-if you’re tackling an open field with high grass use a bigger size-each size fits
THANK YOU! I just ripped through so much string not realizing there is thicker string for thicker weeds. I have been wondering about blades for areas that have wild blackberry thorns and brush any suggestions?
Perfect video. You saved me from drop kicking this darn thing across my yard😂. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Those line holding notches were the trick I was missing! Thank you, you just saved me tens of minutes of finagling and cursing.
Hubby is at work, needed some help, THANK YOU
Thanks, not sure why Dewalt doesn’t make videos like this!
Thank you for getting to the point and not having a pointless intro w camera time. This was perfect.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent! I’ve been doing it wrong for ages. Very helpful 😊
Thank you! My weed trimmer has been out of line for 2 years. Since my dewalt mower will not start, I was desperate. Found you with a You Tube search and in about one hour I had successfully added string and just used on my front yard, had 12”
Weeds
Thank you, glad I could help!
I really wish you had a better camera angle on how to hook the string to the hooks after clockwise string
Yes I thought the same. Even if he had just zoomed out a bit it would have been helpful. Otherwise very informative for a first-timer with this particular trimmer.
This video was a big help when I purchased my trimmer the spool already had string on it but would not feed when I would bump it. The instructions are not very good, when I took the string off it was on there wrong this video got me going again thanks a lot.❤
good stuff! Hurts to see you do almost the entire video with one hand, and I'm here having trouble with two hands and the family helping!
Not even kidding. Struggled with the beast for years. You might have saved my life. You definitely saved this trimmers life! Thanks!
I was getting ready to toss this weed water. Thanks! Appreciate you teaching this!
If I saved one trimmer from the trash, then my mission is complete!
Thank you very much. Felt like a idiot when I couldn't get the damn string to stay
Excellent. Your system is far easier and more efficient than the mess I was making of the process.
After throwing my sun hat across the back yard, followed by the tangled mess of string, and getting highly agitated with trying to reload the string, I went inside and thought I would check RUclips for any tutorials. This was excellent! I liked the step by step explanation. I will now muster my dignity and venture back outside.
LOL, glad it helped! Broken lawn equipment can bring out some serious frustration.
2023 still helping me!
Well done! I was about to go get a pipe wrench and a sawzall.
DeWalt kept sending me the wrong replacement head for my DCST925, and fortunately, I kept the old one. After three months of returning a head that did not fit, I came across your video which is the clearest, most succinct video I have ever seen on how to replace the string. Thank you. I finished my project in less than 5 minutes.
Thanks for posting this! I've struggled with reloading my trimmer with string but you made it look so easy.
Glad it worked out, maybe @Dewalt should add a link to my video on their trimmers?
@@randall928 I agree, it wouldn't hurt!
I feel like such an idiot putting line in a trimmer, I'm going to give this a shot. TY
I'm sure you can do it!
Thank you for this. Coming from all the men who didn’t have someone who didn’t have someone to teach them this.
Appreciate you getting straight to the point 👍🏼
Thanks dude! This is exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks for posting this!!! Clear, simple instructions. Straight to the point. 🙏
Very helpful Video.. I was given my 20v Max and had no real idea how to sting it.. I wasn't loading the line correct so going to do that now, but what is the best line to run ? I'm using it for 90% edging along the concrete so the line ( .080 ) and it eat's it way too fast. Can you recomend a brand and size to use ? Thanks
Just watched your video. Been long time doing it on my own i had to find out the real way to do it thanks bud great video
thanks i have been out of line all year lol
Perfect! Good simple tutorial! Thanks for the help. My trimmer didn’t come with a manual.
Back again as a reminder 😂 thanks again!
Hi there, would 0.095-inch(2.4mm) line work on this trimmer? Much appreciated
Very well done I have also watched several other videos. The problem for me is that pressing in and turning clockwise does not result in releasing. I tried numerous times and finally contacted DeWalt as was still under warranty. They did send me a new spool and housing after a long wait and I decided to see if replacement would open. It does not. One other person also tried and could not open either. How many different ways are there to press in, turn clockwise and then pull out to release?
Thank you so much. It is beyond frustrating to not be able to do fairly basic things because you are missing small bits of info that make all the difference. You have no idea how happy this made me
Thank you sir! You saved my Saturday AM. The video was perfect. Walked me through the process start to finish. Back up and running.
Glad it helped!
Very helpful. Thanks!
Great video! Thank you for making this one!
Glad you liked it!
hey thanks this worked perfectly! Struggle with this for years!
Thank you for this. You made it look so easy even with one hand. I'll be putting in new line on mine soon and this video gives me an idea of what to expect. I'll be using two hands though the first time :).
Glad you found it useful, Dewalt needs to provide better instructions on this one.
Thanks! The other guy's video was a fake, but this one is real. I appreciate the help!
Great job filming this WHILE taking it apart and showing how to feed the line!
Wow🤯 Life could have been so much easier if I saw this year's ago.
Thanks! Great video. Quick and to the point.
I can not believe how easy that was..I went out immediately and drained 2 batteries trimming everywhere I could till waiting for both batteries to recharge.
I can kick myself for putting off such a easy restring!
You my Dear Sir I hope the Best because you are a Blessing delivered by way of You Tube!
Thanks for this GREAT tutorial video, right to the point, super clear, fantastic camera work, and good lighting! I re-spooled our DeWalt 20 volt, (the wife's string trimmer ) but I did it like I do my STIHL trimmer, I cut the line at the mid-point. It did not work, and we were frustrated, to say the least ,so your instructions were so helpful, Bravo!! The trimmer is back! Good work!
Saved be lots of frustration! Many thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
Clear, and to the point explanation. thank you!!!!!👏👏👏
I need to buy you a case of beer! You have solved my longtime issue of fighting with my weed eater! Before this video i constantly had to fight my weed eater with the string getting caught or held up. You my friend are a lifesaver! Thank you!!!
Glad I could help out! My advice always have cold beer at the ready when dealing with yard work.
How did I never know the right way to do this! Been weed whacking since I was like 12 and I always just fiddle farted the wire in there, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks!
Thanks. Worked perfect. Kept me from throwing the damn thing away 🤣🤣🤣
Good simple explanation, thanks bud👍
you're quite welcome!
This one is different than our old gas powered one. Even my father didn’t know you don’t have to cut it. So this was very helpful. Thank you.
I had tried switching to one of those zip tie style systems on this trimmer and it wasn't powerful enough to keep it going. So, I switched back to the original string. I couldn't recall how it wrapped compared to other trimmers I have.
Thanks dude! Very helpful!!
Thanks for this tutorial. Works very well.
Glad you liked it! Let the weed wacking begin.
Been so long I forgot. Thanks for taking time to do that.
Thank you for this video!
Let weeds beware!
Thank you for this!
thank you so much brother this video was a perfect explanation on how to do it correctly i couldn't even get the lid off
Great video but what do you do when you need more string after awhile? Just unroll what’s inside ?
Thank you, but I'm running into problems with one of the lines falling back inside the spool while trimming. The other side stays out. Not sure what's happening
Yo thanks. My mom’s husband was making her come down every second and I wanted to learn how to do it bc no one could except for her but had forgotten how so I watched this and got it. Thank you much!!!!
Thank you 👏🏻I really need it
Super useful, much thanks!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you. ❤
Thanks for posting this useful video. Followed right a long with great results! Now off to complete my yard work.
I appreciate the help! Thank you
Spectacular! perfect pace and speed, thank you! I got it now!
This is a great video! Thank you so much for taking it slow and easy. I had to watch it a few times, but I just successfully refilled the string on my DeWalt 40V AND put it to work! I was very unsure about being able to do this and with your help, it really was easy! Thank you!!
It is so much fun to fix it!
Thanks for the tips! :-)
Wow I've been searching a long time for a video like this thanks so much!
Thank you so much such a useful video
This man is a hero and a man’s man. He should get his own parking spot at his local home depot. What a stud! Thanks so much for making this video. Nice try dewalt, you tried to make it impossible for the common man to change his line but this guy outsmarted you!!
I am humbled and honored by your comments! Trim on my friend.
Super helpful, thank you!
