You need to make yourself a powered spooler and it takes just a few seconds to rewind the spool. Mine is a simple attachment to a drill. One hand holds the drill with spool attached, and the other hand guides the line as it winds.
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
I've been using the Rino-Tuff HD twist line. It's .065, but it has a twisted/triangular shape to it. It's almost identical to the original Ryobi line shape, but's Ryobi green. It works like a charm with very similar load results of the lighter duty blue stuff. Plus it lasts longer and cuts thicker stuff even with my "wimpy" 18+ trimmer that he has hanging in the back of his video. Good stuff.
Did you say to try the twisted green version? I have a wimpy 18 volt also but it works great in the little yard I have which I need to get rid of weeds in close quarters. So is the twisted line last longer? Also my problem is I unintentionally advance the auto-feed so pretty soon I used up the whole spool which costs money. So I'm looking for video that shows how to properly auto-feed. Ryobi instructions is too basic here. ruclips.net/video/A9_iiDHlAlg/видео.html
Okay, I'm going to give this video a thumbs up because I like you and what you're doing. I'm going to explain my perspective on this particular subject. Regardless of if it's the 18, 24, or 40 volt tool that takes this spool, they are all garbage. Get the 40 volt expand-it tool, the 2 cycle, or 4 cycle tool with the expand-it head. With the expand-it system you can change the straight edge into something that will hold a .095 line. Trust me when I say it will make your life so much easier and will cause your line to last far longer. I myself have the three-headed set string attachment sold by rhino, and I love it. Now, back to the topic at hand, if you are determined to use this type of system, I call it training wheels. If you already have this system or want to get it for a tiny yard, then I would recommend buying one triple pack of pre-loaded line, and then buying line afterwards. You can use the spools again and again to make sure you can do a quick change out if you keep them loaded when you're done with the job, plus you can fill it with a .080 line if you so choose. Regardless of how you use the system it will always be a one string at a time rotating, self-releasing system. This means that every time you hit that trigger the string releases a little bit it. Though the expand-it system is a little more expensive then the training wheels system, the expand-it system can use all the tools, while training wheels only has 4 heads in it's system. And they are the trimmer, the edger, the hedge trimmer, and the pole saw. No blower, no Chainsaw, no Tiller, no Snowblower. It is a tool for those who have a town house with a 6x3 ft yard. If you're covering more than that, do what I did and upgrade, I have the 40v expandit it and I have had the same package of string for over 2 years. Take care and best of luck.
Kevin Keys the 18v brushless trimmer is where it's at. I have the expand it system one of the 2 cycle heads but it honestly sucks and is very shaky and heavy. The string trimmer is always ready to go and get about 30 mins of runtime and cram in 0.95 string now and do 8 yards 1/2 acre lots a week with it and only takes about 3 batteries to do them all used to be about refueling the gas tank 2-3 times so about the same and have only restrung it three times after using it for over a year on all those yards.
Andrew Lyon Thank you, I totally, forgot about the new 18v tool. When I mentioned it before I was talking about the ones that use the pre package spools. I would guess your talking about the dedicated trimmer that has a 2 feed system. I will be honest and say that I am a 40v purist when it comes to my yard tools mostly because if I used the 18v batteries for the yard my batteries would die quicker. I haven't had fun with that specific tool, so I do apologize if I have offended you by not clearly marking it as not apart of my disappointed rant. I am currently waiting for the new 40v trimmer to be brought to my home so I can play with it, it's got a lot more power and brings 40v closer to gas power with out the vibrations. I understand what you were talking about with the weight and vibrations, but I still would prefer to go back to gas or 2 cycle before I brought the type of trimmer mentioned in this video. As for the trimmer you have, my only gripe would be that it's only a trimmer. I love at with my expand-it head that it can be put to use 8 different ways. Actually now that I think about it, I believe it's up to 9 now, because of the yard sweeper, and I'm hoping they re-release the leaf vac after they make it better. Here's hoping. Right now the 18v system has better functioning system for battery usage, but the 40v system has a better run on power. I have the 40v 20in mower, not the self propelled, and it's awesome! 18v tools are in their 6-8th generation over a 30 year period and constantly getting better, while the 40v tools are basically in generation 2-3 over a 6 yeear period or so. Your biggest aid to that tool may very well be the 6-9ah battery, which if you're not using them you should really get a pair it will change your life as far as that tool goes. But that perticular trimmer you're using is nearly on par to the power of the 40v expandit, just lacking the expand ability.
Kevin Keys I am hoping for the 18v brushless expand it version. I have heard it is better than the 40v but just like you, I have a curved shaft trimmer, straight shaft trimmer, pole saw blade, pole saw chain, yard sweeper, edger, and cultivator so I'm not leaving the expand it line for a dedicated tool.
Kevin Youngblut, I knew I would like you from the moment I saw your name. (LOL) if I'm not mistaken Ryobi was the first to introduce the multi head line and is still doing it best. I don't have the sweeper and I feel like I'm abusing myself if I use the curved shaft, but I am going to get the sweeper probably come fall as I have 2 oak trees. But I personally would stick to the 40v, because it keeps my 18v batteries less stressed. Each battery has about a 1000+ charge life. Now with new tech and better efficiency they will likely last longer, especially with the 9ah batteries, but I rely on my 18v for in the house, except for 3 or 4 tools that aren't offered on the 40v line.
Great vid and comparison. I'll be spooling my own line from now on. I didn't realize it was only 36 feet in the pre spooled line. Besides I've run out of line and back ups in the middle of trimming and that takes up time to have to run to the store. I can't leave a lawn half trimmed. That time alone makes self spooling time a wash.
Jeez commented while the video was going. Just now seeing how long that took to spool. I could definitely see buying the pre-spooled heads if I had to spool like that. The speed-loader is super quick. My first time doing it I tried without looking at the instructions (failed miserably), but after watching the video on RUclips it made sense. Line up the arrows, feed line through halfway, and then crank the head to wind it up. It can be done in under a minute even if you're not super skilled at it.
I can't imagine using .065 line. I use .095. I would consider buying the spools once just for the spools but the cost.is outrageous compared to buying bulk line.
I think my problem was the line was too small diameter. I bought .050 instead of the .065 and it’s impossible to wind it that neat. When running it keeps snapping off and making me have to cut it to get an end back out. The local Drug Mart was out of .065 ( it was closest) when I went so I am just going to throw that .050 away after buying more .065
Thanks. Have had a lot of trouble with the spool line breaking off inside the trimmer head when edging the sidewalk. I went down to a .065 line, spooled more carefully (like you did) and manually fed the line a couple of button presses before starting. It's better. And I have to string my own spools because the other is way to expensive. Still don't recommend my Ryobi for lots of edging. It is great for just trimming though.
@@abeyoffe Nope. Maybe 1 out of 2 times it will advance. I just have to take the time to stop and push the button by the string every few minutes to advance it manually.
got my ryobi 18v weed-eater with the dual string plus an 18v edger for 50 bucks with no battery on letgo. went to the pawn shop after and got a 18v ryobi impact with 2 batteries and a charger for 30 bucks. you cant beat that price. I am happy with this set, I have no complaints yet. thanks for the video my guy, you should have more subs!
I also have the 40v brushless Expand-It trimmer. Got the leaf blower, metal edger, and hedge trimmer attachments for it. Going to be getting the snow blower attachment come winter. It's got the "speed loader" where you just feed the line halfway and then crank the head to wind it up. It actually goes pretty quick. The trimmer came with 3 pre-cut lines and I've had to refill it once since I got it. I definitely wasn't planning on getting the pre-spooled heads but I was interested in the pre-cut lines so I don't have to measure and cut it. But after watching this video I did the price comparison and I'd get 80ft of pre-cut line for $13 or 160ft in a spool for $11. So I'm leaning towards just cutting and spooling myself now. Thanks for the video!
I was wanting to do the same thing with my one+ trimmer that uses the lime green twisted .080 autofeed line but a ryobi rep told me that "people can't get the line as compact and tightly wound as the factory can", hence they dont recommend it or offer videos on how to. Have you noticed issues and troubleshooting for stringing your own line with these autofeed models? My model (P2008) should feed just like all the other autofeed models if I a correct. I would love to re-string my own but YT is littered with comments about peoples line tangling and coming undone so I am still hesitant.
Drew P great question! No, we haven't had any of those issues. In fact we have noticed that the pre spooled lines are less compact than the ones we spool. We are always able to get more on the spool than they came with.
The Ryobi pre-spooled spiral lines supposed offer better performance than the smooth round lines that came equipped with the Ryobi trimmers. Also, The Ryobi no-bump line release system is designed to waste more lines for no reason whatsoever. The Ryobi 18V trimmer with battery and charger was $50 on sale. Obviously, they are trying to get people to buy pre-spooled lines, just like printer companies making money on ink cartridges by selling the printers for cheap. In my opinion, if your time is so valuable and precious that you cannot afford to spend 5 minutes to spool your own lines and save the money, you should not be using Ryobi products or working on your own yard. You should be out there earning $10 per 5 minutes of your time.
Great video, I spool myself but can see the benefits of getting pre spool if money is a non factor. Another comparison video would be great, maybe the quietstrike pulse vs. the brushed motor impact driver vs. the brushless Impact Driver see which one has the best overall value.
Did anybody say yet? The spool that comes with the Ryobi, the one with more teeth puts out a shorter piece of line each time the power goes off. The one with fewer teeth gives a much longer length of line each time. I say the one with the shorter pieces.
I’d be curious about how long they last compared to each other. Is the Ryobi twice as durable, so that the 12 ft is like having 24 ft of the other stuff. Or do they wear the same so that having 12 ft is really like having 12 ft of the other stuff
I have a Ryobi 13" 18v weed trimmer I just bought but the line is just too light weight and I go thru it very fast, so I bought Cosy- .105/ 328' star line, is that too thick of a line to use on this trimmer, am I going to have any problems because of the thickness? or the shape?
Not really fair to compare cost using generic respool line vs. Ryobi brand refills. You can buy 10 packs of generic prewound spools on Amazon for $18, and they work fine.
I went to get replacement ryobi today and it is crazy.Lowe's does not do Ryobi , Ryobi does not sell line and sends you to Home Depot,Home Depot who has it does not respond after ordering for over six hours,Amazon has it today is May 5 and delivery will be in July???WTH is going on??Sorry I bought the Ryobi.
So If my math is correct, the pre-spool line is 55 cents per foot, while the line alone is ~5 cents per foot. When you say that the customer would spend "a little bit more" on the pre-spool this is a major understatement. If I went to buy a car and the guy said this one is $20,000 or you could pay "a little bit more" and have this other car that is essentially the same for $200,000 I would laugh in his face.
There’s nowt wrong with the 1plus strimmer. If you have even a large garden it should cope with edging and strimming around obstacles. No starting problems and the same battery as my woodworking tools. The battery will keep you going till you’ve had enough and want to do something else. It’s light and cuts gra
That where they make their money by buying the spools. You can see they do not sell the original refill by the bulk because they want you to buy the spools.
(Sorry for spamming comments) but I noticed you're using a ryobi tape measure. Is there anything better about it vs a normal tape measure? I already have a tape measure so I feel like I'd just be buying it for the logo at this point. Whereas the stud finder has that button to mark a point and my stud finder doesn't. So I could see buying the Ryobi one for that. It would be neat to do a video talking about the ryobi hand tools that aren't part of the 18v or 40v system I didn't even realize how many other products Ryobi sold. Thanks again for your videos!
Nathan Cunningham no worries. You have good comments. There is nothing special about the tape other then it says Ryobi. 😉. We do plan to have more videos on the Ryobi tools that don’t use power. Thanks again for the comments!
Hey Ted! You are right. We will talk about it in a future video. But it really isn’t a noticeable difference. The type of line you use makes a bigger difference than the number of teeth on the spool.
You make it too complicated. I lost more time watching this video than it would take for me to re-spooled the trimmer line. For me it ended when you measured the length on the one pre spooled. Good job thou

Really appreciate you taking the time to give us your thoughts
Save a "little" bit of money? That's $130 you save by spooling your own. I think I'll opt for saving the 130. Thanks for the video.
Great vid and comparison. I'll be spooling my own line from now on. I didn't realize it was only 36 feet in the pre spooled line.

I just respooled mine for the first time, it is not easy getting a nice even spooling without overlapping which will get hung up in the trimmer
Very true, and with the small space and line your hands can cramp from holding it tight.
I can't imagine using .065 line. I use .095. I would consider buying the spools once just for the spools but the cost.is outrageous compared to buying bulk line.
You use .95 on the Ryobi?
.095 line doesn't work very well on electric trimmers, and it also doesn't feed well.
Most pro landscapers don't even use .095 - maybe .080.
question. How do you go from putting your line on the spool to putting it back on the trimmer and have it NOT unwind!??
It won't unwind if you put the cap back on after passing the line through the hole on the trimmer
Works fine with the smooth line, not so much with the braided style
I think my problem was the line was too small diameter. I bought .050 instead of the .065 and it’s impossible to wind it that neat. When running it keeps snapping off and making me have to cut it to get an end back out. The local Drug Mart was out of .065 ( it was closest) when I went so I am just going to throw that .050 away after buying more .065
Thank you for measuring how much line is actually on a spool. I thought it was 6ft only not 12 ft.
Thanks. Have had a lot of trouble with the spool line breaking off inside the trimmer head when edging the sidewalk. I went down to a .065 line, spooled more carefully (like you did) and manually fed the line a couple of button presses before starting. It's better. And I have to string my own spools because the other is way to expensive. Still don't recommend my Ryobi for lots of edging. It is great for just trimming though.
Thanks! Great video! Ill never buy prespooled again.
Your Ryobi wall looks sorta like mine. 😎🤙
Can you do a video on how to correctly install the spool line in the trimmer.
Thank you saving me a lot of money spooling it myself.
Why won't my P2002 18V Ryobi Trimmer advance Line? I am using the .065 line, and am following the instructions to start, stop, start to advance line.
i have the same problem. have you figured anything out?
@@abeyoffe Nope. Maybe 1 out of 2 times it will advance. I just have to take the time to stop and push the button by the string every few minutes to advance it manually.
What hole do you put the line in when you finish loading the spool? How do you put the loaded spoil into the trimmer?
got my ryobi 18v weed-eater with the dual string plus an 18v edger for 50 bucks with no battery on letgo. went to the pawn shop after and got a 18v ryobi impact with 2 batteries and a charger for 30 bucks. you cant beat that price. I am happy with this set, I have no complaints yet. thanks for the video my guy, you should have more subs!
How do you install the pre-wound string??? I can't seem to get the cap off.
Thank you. I have a 40V Ryobi Expand it

Your welcome! Thanks for the support
I have a Ryobi 13" 18v weed trimmer I just bought but the line is just too light weight and I go thru it very fast, so I bought Cosy- .105/ 328' star line, is that too thick of a line to use on this trimmer, am I going to have any problems because of the thickness? or the shape?
Not really fair to compare cost using generic respool line vs. Ryobi brand refills. You can buy 10 packs of generic prewound spools on Amazon for $18, and they work fine.
Has anyone had any luck with a "bobbin" or drill motor set up to help wind... at a low speed, of course.
"Your time is valuable" ... watches a guy spool trimmer line for 4 minutes 25 seconds
Don't forget, time to buy from a store as well. How many trips, how much line. Also you can choose maybe a thicker or better line.
I went to get replacement ryobi today and it is crazy.Lowe's does not do Ryobi , Ryobi does not sell line and sends you to Home Depot,Home Depot who has it does not respond after ordering for over six hours,Amazon has it today is May 5 and delivery will be in July???WTH is going on??Sorry I bought the Ryobi.
Thank you. Very helpful video.

Did the pre-filled work the same as the original since it had fewer teeth?
It is likely letting out more line but it hasn't been enough that we can tell the difference.
Can you put .080" line on .065" spools?
There’s nowt wrong with the 1plus strimmer. If you have even a large garden it should cope with edging and strimming around obstacles. No starting problems and the same battery as my woodworking tools. The battery will keep you going till you’ve had enough and want to do something else. It’s light and cuts gra
Hey. Have you reviewed the lawn edge trimmer P2300? Great channel 👍🏻
Silly question...is there a way I can get an extra spool for free? I'll even settle for a spool without the string.
Chip Malee send us an email, we may have one we can send you. (solelyryobi@gmail.com)
That where they make their money by buying the spools. You can see they do not sell the original refill by the bulk because they want you to buy the spools.
Good video.
Thanks!
I have an issue with hand-spooling as it always gets knotted up as it's coming out. Not sure how I'm doing it wrong.
After watching the video I know what I did wrong, lol Too many crossovers.
(Sorry for spamming comments) but I noticed you're using a ryobi tape measure. Is there anything better about it vs a normal tape measure? I already have a tape measure so I feel like I'd just be buying it for the logo at this point. Whereas the stud finder has that button to mark a point and my stud finder doesn't. So I could see buying the Ryobi one for that. It would be neat to do a video talking about the ryobi hand tools that aren't part of the 18v or 40v system I didn't even realize how many other products Ryobi sold. Thanks again for your videos!
Nathan Cunningham no worries. You have good comments. There is nothing special about the tape other then it says Ryobi. 😉. We do plan to have more videos on the Ryobi tools that don’t use power. Thanks again for the comments!
Nice! Thank you so much..
Hola
You completely forgot to see how well the spools worked with different number of teeth...
Hey Ted! You are right. We will talk about it in a future video. But it really isn’t a noticeable difference. The type of line you use makes a bigger difference than the number of teeth on the spool.
With the auto feed feature , and prefilled spools , this machine should be wasting money and generating revenue for Ryobi corp in no time !
Go buy yourself an Echo with a speed feed head. Trust me you won't miss this junk.
This is perfect for home use. Unless you're a landscaper, that's just a waste of money.

Man, If you can't even load some trimmer line, just hire someone else to do your lawn work, lol.
dang man you expect me to string my own guitar as well!?!?
@@speedlgt trimmer line is easier...lol
Not pleased at all with my Ryobi trimmer. They got me. Total waste of money. Doesn't work well at all. Garbage
Trash 🗑
You make it too complicated. I lost more time watching this video than it would take for me to re-spooled the trimmer line. For me it ended when you measured the length on the one pre spooled. Good job thou
I just want to put line on weed wacker. You talk too much. Nothing gets done. Waste my time watching.
