Watching this in 2024 and saved me so much time and frustration lmao. Tried to figure it out for like 5 mins and said ah screw this, to the RUclips. Thank you so much for the video, it WAS indeed way way easier than method number 1
I appreciate you watching my video. There is so much help to be found on RUclips when it comes to fixing things. Glad you got the weed eater going again!
Dude, you’re a saint. I’m 26 and stubborn as a mule and didn’t wanna look up how to do this cause I just knew I could figure it out on my own.. well rest assured I caved and this is the first video that I’ve watched and you were spot on with your instructions, thank you sir
Which string did you guys buy? I tried 2 different ones I had lying around and neither would be cut by my Kobalt essentially not being able to automatically get more line when I tap it on the ground
I am not 26, but used common sense to call the GreenWorks support telephone number and learned that the GreenWorks and Kobalt devices are identical. Then I went to a Lowe's and had an old fellow do it one time and I understood it.... an NO direction sheet. I had used a GreenWorks trimmer 5 years and finally found that it takes a 2-line spool for the string.... not a 1 string spool.
Don’t be so insensitive. She was expressing that she now can do this on her own because of my video. I actually care for others even if I don’t know them personally. Learn how to be kind. What viewers don’t care about are rude comments like yours. What’s the point in you coming in here and commenting like that. Why not just keep your rude words to yourself.
Also I’m an 80 year old & widow & I always do my trimming & this video may have kept me from calling on my neighbor from filling my string for my weed trimmer I’m hoping bc I plan to try tomorrow 🙏 thanks
Instructions were so crystal clear it only took 1 play and a couple pauses to get up and running. My wife's tearing up the weeds as I text. Appreciate you so much, RJ.
I went to Lowe's this weekend to get replacement string for the trimmer, and was really surprised there were no instructions on the refill package! RUclips (and you) to the rescue! Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Instructions were clear and easy to follow.
and what about the folks that do NOT have a laptop PC or a way to see the video? No instructions from China for a made-there device are getting more common...
OMG! It is all about the loop! I have spent so much time trying to wind one string and then the other. I was not looking forward to using the weedeater this weekend, but after this video I am looking forward to trying your method. Thank you so much for the handy tips. Loops and notches are the key; I feel silly that I never knew this.
Thanks for doing this video. I just got me weed Wacker and had to fix string. Also I didn't that you advance string by pushing button ground while its running. all good.
Not necessarily. I was shown how to do this years ago as stated above. I did not read the manual. Also many people in the comments say that my explanation is better and easier to understand than the manual.
Thank you! I went to Lowe’s to buy a replace spool but that don’t sell one for this trimmer. They said just to buy the replace string. I asked them how to string it and they did not know. So thank you again that was well shot and explained.
I had the same similar experience. I was ready to go buy a whole nother weed wacker until I saw this video. They should put this RUclips link in the direction box. LOL
I dreaded my string running out, but when it did, I took to youtube and found your video. Thanks a ton man. Made it way easier than trying to follow the directions in the book. Much appreciated.
I was able to restring it myself following your video and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Usually I'd give it to my husband to figure out but glad I persevered. I care more about how the lawn looks than my husband so it's up to me lol
lol. Nothing wrong with caring more about how the lawn looks than your husband. I myself love a nicely edged and trimmed lawn. I’m glad my video helped you out! Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a blessed life!
Hi again RJ... I recently bought a 200 foot package of Husqvarna Titanium Force .080" trimmer line (for $2. more than the price of one measly 16 foot replacement spool), and reloaded my Kobalt string trimmer using your instructions (the Husqvarna line mentioned is supposedly among the highest quality trimmer lines). Thanks to you (and your very helpful video) it was incredibly fast and easy to do (it took me around four minutes total). Talk about saving a ton of money versus buying the pre-loaded 16 foot replacement spools! That's a savings of $159. versus buying individual replacement spools!... Thanks again for taking the time to create your incredibly helpful videos as it is much appreciated!!!
Awesome!! I knew it saved money but I never calculated how much!!! That’s amazing. Thank you for leaving this comment! Your kind words are greatly appreciated!!
I'm faced with taking over yard care for my elderly father and learning how to use the tools as I go along. You explained things very well without rambling and saved me a bunch of frustration of trying to figure out how the thing came apart. Thank you! A little tip to all the other weed whacker newbies out there: To advance the line on this model (you will notice the line getting shorter as you use it) you simply bump the head to the ground while it is still running.
Your description is absolutely brilliant. You demonstrated the installation of the string so well. I will no longer fight with my trimmer and look like an idiot in front of my neighbors. Well, I may still look like an idiot, but not while using my trimmer.
Bro my dad always talked about how hard this is, thank you for making it so easy, you just saved my day and now my fiancé won’t be mad when she gets home to a garden still full of weeds 😂😂
I don't know if someone could make a better video doing this. I just got one of these and thought before I waste time trying to figure it out myself I'll watch a RUclips vid watching someone demonstrate. You demonstrated and explained this perfectly. I have no worries doing this now. Thank you for such a great video.
Excellent video. Clear, straight to the point explanations. I just finish putting mine together a few minutes ago, and I was wondering how to do it when the time comes (without reading the manual, of course, he, he, he). Thank you so much, my man.
micarmo1948 lol we men do not like reading manuals! This was a trial and error for me. I had a weed eater very similar to this one. Thanks man! I appreciate your comment!
Thank you for taking the time to explain this process. I admit I was a bit intimidated of this task prior to watching. Your instructions were clear and precise.
Thank you so much! Both of my 26yo twin boys tried to restring my weedeater and the oldest finally told me to you tube it. This was a very well planned video with excellent easy to follow instructions! Great job!
Thank you so much so simple and to the point. I am an 80-year-old lady who bought one last year and it was great until the string ran out. I’ve had three men trying to figure out how to restring it and none of them could. One of them even looked up a video but evidently the wrong video. So now I think I can do it on my own I hope so. I can’t find anyone to take care of my loans like I do myself. Thank you so much.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are very welcome. I will say, that if you were my neighbor I’d gladly help you! I hope and pray you can get it yourself. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for your comment and for watching my video.
amazing, I've been trying to get this down my whole life. then when i do, I change weed eaters and it's completely different. that was the greatest explanation ever. simple, I love it!
I have saved this video to view every time I need to restring the darn trimmer! You do a fantastic job of making it appear very strait forward and easy to follow! And I have to agree with one of the comments that “it’s all about the loop”! Completely forgot how to start it until your video. Many thanks!
Great! I’m glad this video helped so many people! A lot of new and returning viewers on this video. The crazy thing is. One of my viewers on a review video of this trimmer asked “Can you make a video to show how to string this?” So I did and it has helped so many people. Thanks, you have a a blessed life!
One of the greatest videos on RUclips. I tried doing the string prior to watching this video. Had to remove the string and follow the easy instructions. Works great and is easy. Thank you so much. I'm 75 and love to be a DYI guy, and this was a great help.🙂
Thank you! I was hesitant to buy the string that wasn't already pre-strung, but also didn't want to pay the higher price every time. Your vid gave me the confidence to make the purchase. Appreciate your making the video!
God I feel like an idiot, I was winding the strings all wrong , I was skeptical of an electric trimmer but this one has exceeded my expectations, and now I know how to put the string in it correctly thanks to you, thank you for your video
Ken Wullner your welcome! Don’t feel like an idiot! I took me awhile before I figured out this way. It’s the easiest way for me. A lot of people on my video reviewing this weed eater asked how to restring it. I’m glad they did because this video has helped a lot of people!! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I can't tell you how frustrated winding the string has become to the point I'm almost willing to pay somebody to do the yard. It turns out doing it manually it's just the best way and the least stressful. Thank you so much for a detailed video and it's all about the loop.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I watched your video today and was amazed at how easy this was to do. I was dreading this process but you made this so simple.
My dad taught me how to change the tire change the oil. The one thing I forgot to ask him is how to wind a string trimmer and I was looking for somebody who had this exact cobalt trimmer and lo and behold. I found your video I can’t believe how easy it is I had no idea or even thought to wind it up and then put the cap piece into the blue spool and then pull the strings free and then put it back on and lock down.😂 thank you
Very awesome! Sounds like you have a good dad! My dad thought me those things as well. I’m glad you came across my video! I appreciate your comment. Once you learn the trick it is super easy!
The amount of frustration the spool has cause me! Thank you for posting this video. So incredibly helpful. Now I can be less angry next time I cut the grass 😅
Going to buy one now in a few minutes, my Toro finally bit the dust, cable drive broke. So I have other kobalt tools that are 24v, and wanted all the info I could on this to ease my mind on a trimmer. Thank you for sharing this. I guess being 2 years late watching but I am thankful you made a video on this.
No worries about buying 2 years to late. This is a good product. My battery is still running strong. The weed eater is great and works well to this day. Not much to complain about.
Thank you so much! I am just about to the point where I need to change my line. I like to be prepared before I attempt something like this. Your video is excellent. I have never seen one that was explained so well. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. The first method you showed worked for me! My husband is working and the yard work is up to me. I've been struggling on getting the string changed but your video did the trick. Thanks again.
I cannot thank you enough for your video on the cobalt 80 V. I watched about four videos and yours was the one with the best close-up of how to string it and it worked. Thank you so much.
Chris C. Wow! I really appreciate your kind words. I am seeing that this video is very helpful. I am so glad it is! That part of what I want my videos to be. Very helpful. Thanks again!!
You're such a lifesaver! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have just relieved my husband and I from such frustration 💗 Appreciate you from here to the moon! Blessings, blessings, and more blessings to you and your family. You made such a great difference in our lives today. 👏👏👏👏😃😃😃💞
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m truly blessed that my video is helping so many people! May God bless you and your husband for being so kind in blessing me! 😁😄
Future Legend was nice enough to tell me that it would take me 25 yrs to download a manual to figure out how to string a line. So thank you for saving my hiney. Future Legend also told me that in 25 yrs this trimmer will be absolete because we'll have Smart Grass, he called it. STG (Smart Trim Grass) is for edges so it'll always be contained within the boundaries of your lawn. Rest assured SWG (Smart Weedless Grass) will be what most of the lawn is, will never have weeds due to self care. And best of all SMT and SWG will trim itself!!
Thank you so much. I wish I had seen your video first because I could have saved the 3 hours I spent unsuccessfully trying to figure out how to change the trim string.
B Parker I’m so glad this video helped you! At least now you won’t have to waste much time anymore!! I appreciate you commenting and watching my video!
Don’t know if it’s the same for the 24v (like the one in this video) but it’s even easier with the 40v. You don’t even need to take the head off whatsoever
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m a single mom and always doing stuff by my self .so with this video. you just made my life so easy.! Thank you!!!🤗
Thanks man, i just bought one today. Havent used it yet just put it together, seems like its more powerful than my 40v worx trimmer. Thank for the demo its a big help, god bless
Thanks so much for this video I really needed this. I've never changed the string on one before. I just bought one of these and I'm really loving it. Much appreciated.
I wanted something light weight and capable of cutting. This little string trimmer is just that ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . The battery will last about half an hour. It cuts through most weeds and grass. I wanted to see what this trimmer could do and tried cutting down some brush. It does okay with light brush but heavy brush, not so much. This is a great tool for trimming around the yard. It's not great for clearing out brush but no one would expect it to be.Out of the box, this trimmer is extremely easy to use. All I had to do was attach the guard and load the battery.
God bless you, I'm a widow trying to do that my after my husband pass away. Great video thanks for take tour time and showed how to do it. Short and to the point.
Man, oh, man, oh , man! That was so easy. I was trying to do this bottom and top of the spool separately. You're the man. God bless you. John 3:16 my friend.
Thank you for this video. I have basically had to watch videos every single time I do it. This is the first explanation that has clicked and I think I will actually remember how to do it now.
I was having one hell of a time trying to push in the two buttons and remove the cover at the same time. I thought you needed Superman strength but I've since found an easy way. Just insert the tip of a flathead screwdriver into the button, the side closest to the bump feed and pry til it pops. Don't force it or you could crack the plastic. You want just enough force to unlock the cover. Then repeat for the other side.
Thanks for posting. I just took mine out of the box and started cutting my yard and let me tell you it made my work a whole lot easier. I also got the blower/trimmer combo and Absolutely love it!! Plus Now I know how to change the string quickly.
Awesome. I’ve been using this weed trimmer for awhile. I really like it! It’s great! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I’m glad that my video helped you out!!
Thank you! This was super helpful exactly when I needed it, and very easy to follow. I kept trying to twist the cover part as I depressed the buttons/tabs instead of just pulling up and off. Great video!
oh wow i have been struggling with this the whole time i have owned it. and was thinking about buying a new one. I just happened to see your video and just slapped my forhead. wow so easy when you know how. thank you so much for your video.
Thank you for this video. I have used your careful instructions to restring my trimmer and it works! I have two questions: what trimmer string should I buy for the Kobalt 24 volt trimmer? What length string should I cut before restringing?
Thanks so much for this video. The printed directions didn’t clarify the direction of the string to go. I was doing it inhthe opposite direction because I was following the arrow. Watching you made my life simpler. Thank you again.
Thanks Bro! I decided to just buy the string instead of a new spool and you made my life so much easier. Thanks so much for the video! Have a great week!!!!
Ya know I knew how to do it but evidently over the long winter I got confused and when I went out to use my trimmer I had the new string all messed up and it wouldn't feed out properly so I had to be "rebooted" and your video worked like a charm 👍😉
I only have to restring my weedeater a few times a year, but I use this video every time. Thanks so much for posting it! PS whenever I try and do it from memory, I screw up lol
Thank you so much for helping me through these video instructions, putting the string on the spool! These booklet instructions absolutely 100% suck and if it wasn’t for people like you on RUclips I don’t know what I would do ??? I would have broke the trimmer and a threw it away!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪💪
You are most welcome. You are not the first to point out how terrible the instructions are. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching. Glad I could help.
I have a 40 volt Max that is a year old and this still applies to my trimmer. The spool is a little different but the idea is the same for winding the string. The manual tells you to feed the string through and then turn the spool clockwise but it doesn't grab the string and feed it onto the spool like it is supposed to. Thanks for the video.
I had the same problem when I tried that method. This method has always been good for me. I’m glad it has helped so many people! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Watching this in 2024 and saved me so much time and frustration lmao. Tried to figure it out for like 5 mins and said ah screw this, to the RUclips. Thank you so much for the video, it WAS indeed way way easier than method number 1

Awesome! Thank you for your support to my channel! I’m glad this video helped you out!!
you’re gonna struggle a lot in life with that much pride lmao must have a lot of shame in u too
Same boat as you (also 26 and stubborn haha). This was a huge time saver.

My husband of 46 years just left me. I’ve always done the trimming but he did the string. Thanks so much for this video!!!
I’m sorry about your loss. I’m glad my video helped you. I hope things get better for you.
so what if your husband 'left me' ? Viewers do not care about that ...
Don’t be so insensitive. She was expressing that she now can do this on her own because of my video. I actually care for others even if I don’t know them personally. Learn how to be kind.

@@rjguess Well, then whoever showed you read the manual because it's exactly how the manual says to do it. Funny how that works.

Else Davidson your most welcome. Glad it helps you!
You might need a new husband
🤣🤣🤣
Dump him.
Me too 😊😊
Thank you! I went to Lowe’s to buy a replace spool but that don’t sell one for this trimmer. They said just to buy the replace string. I asked them how to string it and they did not know. So thank you again that was well shot and explained.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I watched your video today and was amazed at how easy this was to do. I was dreading this process but you made this so simple.
Al Rossi you are most welcome!!! Thank you for the comment and watch time. I appreciate the support to my channel. Super glad this helped you!!
Cut your weed eater string to lent lay out in the sun and let it get flexible it's a lot easier to whine that when it's cold and really stiff
My dad taught me how to change the tire change the oil. The one thing I forgot to ask him is how to wind a string trimmer and I was looking for somebody who had this exact cobalt trimmer and lo and behold. I found your video I can’t believe how easy it is I had no idea or even thought to wind it up and then put the cap piece into the blue spool and then pull the strings free and then put it back on and lock down.😂 thank you
Very awesome! Sounds like you have a good dad! My dad thought me those things as well. I’m glad you came across my video! I appreciate your comment. Once you learn the trick it is super easy!
The amount of frustration the spool has cause me! Thank you for posting this video. So incredibly helpful. Now I can be less angry next time I cut the grass 😅
You are welcome. I’m glad my video helped you!
Going to buy one now in a few minutes, my Toro finally bit the dust, cable drive broke. So I have other kobalt tools that are 24v, and wanted all the info I could on this to ease my mind on a trimmer. Thank you for sharing this. I guess being 2 years late watching but I am thankful you made a video on this.
No worries about buying 2 years to late. This is a good product. My battery is still running strong. The weed eater is great and works well to this day. Not much to complain about.
Thank you so much! I am just about to the point where I need to change my line. I like to be prepared before I attempt something like this. Your video is excellent. I have never seen one that was explained so well. Thank you!
Well thank you so much. I’m glad my video is helping so many people. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you.
Thank you for this video. The first method you showed worked for me! My husband is working and the yard work is up to me. I've been struggling on getting the string changed but your video did the trick. Thanks again.
You are very welcome! I’m glad my video helped. I make these kind of videos to show that anyone can do this! Thanks for watching!
Thank you sooo much!!! Your demonstration made restringing my trimmer easy and fool-proof!
Great! Thanks for watching.
I cannot thank you enough for your video on the cobalt 80 V. I watched about four videos and yours was the one with the best close-up of how to string it and it worked. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate your watch time and your comment! Glad my video helped you.
To the point and very thorough. Uncomplicated and easy to follow. A BIG HELP FOR SURE! Really Great Stuff!
Chris C. Wow! I really appreciate your kind words. I am seeing that this video is very helpful. I am so glad it is! That part of what I want my videos to be. Very helpful. Thanks again!!
You're such a lifesaver! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have just relieved my husband and I from such frustration 💗
Appreciate you from here to the moon!
Blessings, blessings, and more blessings to you and your family. You made such a great difference in our lives today. 👏👏👏👏😃😃😃💞
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m truly blessed that my video is helping so many people! May God bless you and your husband for being so kind in blessing me! 😁😄
Thanks a lot! I didn’t have a dad to show me things like this, so these kind of videos really help me learn things to show my own son!
Glad I could help! Sorry about your dad!
Future Legend was nice enough to tell me that it would take me 25 yrs to download a manual to figure out how to string a line.
So thank you for saving my hiney.
Future Legend also told me that in 25 yrs this trimmer will be absolete because we'll have Smart Grass, he called it. STG (Smart Trim Grass) is for edges so it'll always be contained within the boundaries of your lawn. Rest assured SWG (Smart Weedless Grass) will be what most of the lawn is, will never have weeds due to self care. And best of all SMT and SWG will trim itself!!
Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much. I wish I had seen your video first because I could have saved the 3 hours I spent unsuccessfully trying to figure out how to change the trim string.
B Parker I’m so glad this video helped you! At least now you won’t have to waste much time anymore!! I appreciate you commenting and watching my video!
Blessings you just helped a 72 old woman restring my trimmer, have to do it myself can't afford to hire someone.
Got it done here I go.
Great! Wonderful! This is why I make these videos. To help people like you!!
Thank you so much! My husband works a lot, so I was on my own with the lawn. You’re the best! THANK YOU 😊
Mary Pelletz thank you very much! It’s awesome at how helpful this videos has become for people! Thanks for your kind comment!!
This is the 1st of these I've ever seen & have wasted so much time & money replacing string. Thanks!
You are very welcome. I appreciate you watching my video.
Took me a couple tries but thanks to you, I was able to get my used Kobalt 40V M up and running with fresh line in a couple minutes!
Awesome. So glad my video is helping so many!!
Don’t know if it’s the same for the 24v (like the one in this video) but it’s even easier with the 40v. You don’t even need to take the head off whatsoever
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m a single mom and always doing stuff by my self .so with this video. you just made my life so easy.! Thank you!!!🤗
Great! That’s why I make some of the videos I do. I’m glad your life is easier because of my video! Thank you and have a blessed life.
Thanks man, i just bought one today. Havent used it yet just put it together, seems like its more powerful than my 40v worx trimmer. Thank for the demo its a big help, god bless
Troy Purnell I really appreciate your kind words! Very glad this video helped you! God bless you as well!
Thank God for your SUPER EASY INSTRUCTIONS before I even took it apart! THANKS A BUNCH!
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for watching adverting a comment! Have a blessed life!
Thanks so much for this video I really needed this. I've never changed the string on one before. I just bought one of these and I'm really loving it. Much appreciated.
Thank you! Im still using mine to this day. It’s a good product. Im glad this video helped you!
Great explanation! My son bought this weed eater at a garage sale and have been wrestling with this thing to get the string in correctly. Thank you!
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
I wanted something light weight and capable of cutting. This little string trimmer is just that ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . The battery will last about half an hour. It cuts through most weeds and grass. I wanted to see what this trimmer could do and tried cutting down some brush. It does okay with light brush but heavy brush, not so much. This is a great tool for trimming around the yard. It's not great for clearing out brush but no one would expect it to be.Out of the box, this trimmer is extremely easy to use. All I had to do was attach the guard and load the battery.
God bless you, I'm a widow trying to do that my after my husband pass away. Great video thanks for take tour time and showed how to do it. Short and to the point.
Thank you for your kind comment. I am very happy that my video helped you! May God bless you also!!
Easier than I thought it would be! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching.
Been dealing with those for years and finally I’m done wrestling with it! Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
That's what I'm talking about, straight to the point, thanks you ,very informative vid.🤟🏽👍🏽
Thank you!! Glad this video helped.
Man, oh, man, oh , man! That was so easy. I was trying to do this bottom and top of the spool separately. You're the man. God bless you. John 3:16 my friend.
Thank you so!! May God bless you as well! That’s why I make these videos. It’s good to help!
My dad always paid for this to be done. This is cool. I like doing it myself, I have time now!
Totally awesome! Glad it helped you. I appreciate your watch time and comment!!
Thank you for this video. I have basically had to watch videos every single time I do it. This is the first explanation that has clicked and I think I will actually remember how to do it now.
Very good! I’m glad my video helped you out! I appreciate you commenting and watching! Thanks for the support to my channel! Have blessed life!
I was having one hell of a time trying to push in the two buttons and remove the cover at the same time. I thought you needed Superman strength but I've since found an easy way. Just insert the tip of a flathead screwdriver into the button, the side closest to the bump feed and pry til it pops. Don't force it or you could crack the plastic. You want just enough force to unlock the cover. Then repeat for the other side.
Good information. Thank you!!
Thanks for posting. I just took mine out of the box and started cutting my yard and let me tell you it made my work a whole lot easier. I also got the blower/trimmer combo and Absolutely love it!! Plus Now I know how to change the string quickly.
Awesome. I’ve been using this weed trimmer for awhile. I really like it! It’s great! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I’m glad that my video helped you out!!
Thank you! This was super helpful exactly when I needed it, and very easy to follow. I kept trying to twist the cover part as I depressed the buttons/tabs instead of just pulling up and off.
Great video!
Thank you. Glad this helped you.
oh wow i have been struggling with this the whole time i have owned it. and was thinking about buying a new one. I just happened to see your video and just slapped my forhead. wow so easy when you know how. thank you so much for your video.
Thank you for taking the time to show this: super easy!
Thank you for supporting my channel.
Thank you so much. This was very helpful for me as a single Mom. Have a blessed year.
Thank you! Glad to help! You also have a blessed year and life!
Thank you for this video. I have used your careful instructions to restring my trimmer and it works! I have two questions: what trimmer string should I buy for the Kobalt 24 volt trimmer? What length string should I cut before restringing?
I use .080. You can use thinner string as well. I’ve used .060 as well. I normally cut the string anywhere from 8-15 feet. Depending on the thickness.
I just want to say thank you very much. I have no one to help me and I was getting so frustrated until I saw your video. Thank you again
You are most welcome! I’m glad this video helped. I also pray some day God sends you a helper! 🙏🏻💪. Have a blessed day!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I learn by hands on and you helped me out a lot! 🤗
So glad to read this! I’m very glad when I read about my videos helping people! 😃
Thanks so much for this video. The printed directions didn’t clarify the direction of the string to go. I was doing it inhthe opposite direction because I was following the arrow. Watching you made my life simpler. Thank you again.
Awesome! Thank you. I’m glad my video helped you out!!
Thank you! I didn't wanna have to ask my dad 😂 and get the look 😂
🤣🤣. I know exactly what you mean!!
I've had this thing for too long without knowing how to do this, thank you so much.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your support.
Great video man.... I've always wanted to know how to do this correctly. I feel like an idiot and was making it way harder than it is.
G Hill23 don’t feel like an idiot! I was thought this and decided to share with people. I had no idea that it would help so many people! Amazing!!
Thanks Bro! I decided to just buy the string instead of a new spool and you made my life so much easier. Thanks so much for the video! Have a great week!!!!
Thanks for watching. You have a blessed life. I appreciate your watch time and comment!
Thank you! You made this sooooo much easier than how I was trying to do it...which was definitely wrong😂
🤣. Well, I’m glad I did something right for a change lol. Thanks for watching my video! Much appreciated.
Thank you soooo much. The man at Lowe’s couldn’t really explain how to do it, but your explanation was great and I got my weed eating done!
Super awesome. Glad this helped. I do appreciate you watching my video! Have a blessed day!
Thanks man I appreciate you
@@charleswilson4042 you are welcome.
Thanks, I saved a lot of time because of this video. I only regret I can hit the like button only once!
gravis2000 much appreciated!! I am so glad this video is helping many people!
Ya know I knew how to do it but evidently over the long winter I got confused and when I went out to use my trimmer I had the new string all messed up and it wouldn't feed out properly so I had to be "rebooted" and your video worked like a charm 👍😉
Good! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks man!!! These things seem like a pain but you made it look easy - appreciate it
Krooked Smilez your welcome! I thank you for watching my video and dropping the comment! Much appreciated!

Thank you for making it so simple to follow 🙏
You are very welcome.
I only have to restring my weedeater a few times a year, but I use this video every time. Thanks so much for posting it!
PS whenever I try and do it from memory, I screw up lol
I’m glad my video helps you out. I do appreciate your watch time! Hey, no joke, I’ve had to watch my own video a time or two. So don’t feel bad!
Thank you so much! This is the wife commenting, because I was just about to lose it over this weed eater and this man!! 🤪🤣
Lol! I’m glad this video helped you out. Thanks for watching!
You showed me step by step without extra garbage added. Thank you.
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching.
Time saver. Much appreciated my friend!

Glad this video is helping you. Thanks for watching!!
Huge help, super simple. Thanks dude.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment and watch time.
Thank you so much for helping me through these video instructions, putting the string on the spool! These booklet instructions absolutely 100% suck and if it wasn’t for people like you on RUclips I don’t know what I would do ??? I would have broke the trimmer and a threw it away!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪💪
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫡🫡🫡🫡
You are most welcome. You are not the first to point out how terrible the instructions are. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching. Glad I could help.
Easy peasy! Thanks for this! I would have spent more time hunting down the manual than doing it “with you”. Back to yard work 😕 lol
Lol. Thanks! Glad my video is helping so many people! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
By the way, I just sat in my front yard and watched this again (went all summer without restringing, then forgot). Awesome resource. Thanks AGAIN!
Awesome! I appreciate you.
Thank you so much! I’m a single lady, and your instructions were really simple!
I’m glad I could help! Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Right to the point and exactly what I needed to know!
erscheirer Thanks! Glad this helped you!
How much string did you use? The whole length
Faye Cervantes about 6-8 feet of string.
Thanks bro i went and bought a new prefilled spool, not no more. Thanks again
I come back to this video every year when I have to cut down the fire perimeter. Thanks!
You are welcome. Thank you so much for your support to my channel. I appreciate you.
Best explanation out here. Thanks!!!
phoenix8805 thank you!!! I really appreciate your kind words sir!!
I have a 40 volt Max that is a year old and this still applies to my trimmer. The spool is a little different but the idea is the same for winding the string. The manual tells you to feed the string through and then turn the spool clockwise but it doesn't grab the string and feed it onto the spool like it is supposed to. Thanks for the video.
I had the same problem when I tried that method. This method has always been good for me. I’m glad it has helped so many people! Thanks for watching and commenting!
