Thank you for making this video. I went out and bought this same trimmer at HF and it works great! This trimmer is very powerful and, being corded, the power remains consistent and this thing is a beast, as you said. This is also very ergonomically designed compared to the previous two trimmers I owned.
Habitat Restore is good place to get a good deal on a lot of stuff, if you have one, and $15 is good deal for this, I like mine and I am using it a lot - thanks for subscribing!
very well, I use it a lot and it is now my main corded trimmer, no issues with it -lots of power, so much that you need to use a better line with it - I use www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9RJW9GX square line with a helical twist, very rugged, stands up to a fence very well, see video for details - ruclips.net/video/XgpDyVAxzg8/видео.html - great trimer, works great every time I use it, good autofeed design, just a good overall design and no issues - thanks for subscribing!
I'm having trouble finding a replacement spool cap. Harbor Freight customer service says black&decker rc100p is the replacement cap. Ordered it on line and it don't fit.
very strange, when I saw the spool cap, I thought it looked like the black and decker and was going to try my old one on it, also surprised HF would tell you that and it not fit - but if HF does not sell one, I'm not sure where to get one, which is really bad, how long have you had it and how did it break? others will be interested in your experience - thanks for subscribing!
I also have tried to find one and cannot find one I have had 2 of these in the past 2 years and the spool cap has always come off when in use and breaks into pieces@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews
Can you make a video on how to remove the guard. No, I don't want to use it without the guard. Mine stopped working and I want to return it, but I'd like to clean it up and put it back in the box. I'm afraid I'm going to break the hooks that hook it in place?
there is on screw holding on the guard and then it snaps out of the clips - I have a bunch of equipment on the bench and need to finish that filming first, so it would be a few days - thanks for subscribing!
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews Thanks for the response. I removed the screw, but the guard doesn't just pull off...I'm sure it's simple and I just can't figure it out. I'm able to get one side to almost come lose, but that's it.
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews You are too kind. I figured it out and let's just say, I'm too stupid to live. lol. Thank you for your response, your time and consideration.
@@justmemadison I made the video last night, but no worries, when I took it apart, I found that one side is pressed in place and acts as a hinge is like the problem you had - glad you figured it out - thanks for subscribing!
ruclips.net/video/sGPtm_PuyvE/видео.html this is for the 20v single line, ruclips.net/video/mBtFXqEmEaE/видео.html this is for the portland double line, the portland how to video will be the exact same process, the 20v single line talks a little bit more about keeping the spool from unwinding - common questions, so I made a video - thanks for subscribing!

Glad you found the video useful, i've been using this one a lot lately, it is a nice trimmer, thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for the video! Just found one of these at a local Habitat for Humanity Supply store for $15. This is a great intro!

I double my line. Therefore, I'll have 4 lines coming out. Which makes my line cut faster and last longer
interesting method, I need to try that, this trimmer needs a thicker line, it breaks off too easy, thanks for the idea and thanks for subscribing!
Show us how. When I use this the line just breaks
How has the trimmer held up?

This linked to 095 not 065. The manual indicates to use 065. Does it matter?

Harbor freight does not carry the spool cover@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews
In HF’s post it has, “Compare to CRAFTSMAN CMEST913”. I wonder if a spool for that one would work?
How do u wrap the spool
