LMFAO the way you just get excited and run outside on your tippy toes and break the string instantly. It’s even funnier because I’m going though the same thing.
Best line in the video…. “ Ain’t got no gas in it “. A classic!!
I felt like I wasted 7 minutes of my life watching this, but that startup gallup had me crying!🤣
I think the only reason they make weedeaters the way they are is so they can sell you the plastic string every month.
I'm starting to believe that.
You do not have that problem if you have a quality weedeater like echo
Soak the string in water. Thank me later
You gotta turn the zip tide on the flat side slapping on the weed you're trying to whack at. The physical property of the material was never designed to bend that way in the first place. That's why it keeps breaking.
You have 10 inch zip ties on the weed wacker and you're cutting right next to the concrete. Back off it's the edge of the string that does the work.
I'm sure the reason why you're having a hard time with the string is because of the type of head you're using. I would use a head that requires winding the string around a spool. Like the Echo SpeedFeed Head, you feed a string through until both sides have equal lengths and twist the head! It would last a couple of days.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!!!
You'd think eventually he'd stop trying to fight plastic against concrete and learn to use the trimmer correctly.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thank you for the trial and error...it saves me time doing it!
You have come a long ways , love your videos brother .
Great video, love the cap!
Thanks for watching! That hat was my grandpa's when he was a mailman
@@WHOTEEWHO yeah, that's a vintage! Love that Logo.
I remember one time I ran out of trim line. I was almost done with the job so I tied some bailing wire onto my weed eater haha. Worked pretty good for awhile, & I was cutting thru some thick/heavy weeds.
All good until it ends up stuck through your leg. I used some tiny steel cable made for hanging picture frames one. It worked pretty well but the ends start to fray badly. Pivot pro head is my favorite. String last forever.
Great & clever idea. 🙏
@@jvmiller1995what is a pivot pro head i wonder. A photo or a link would be helpful
replace the head with a feeding head and use a 0.080 wound guitar string. Never by trimmer line again.
👍👍
Thats a great idea
I may just try that
That's a good idea and a great way to get free shrapnel embedded in your eyeball.
😂
Love the protective footwear.
I am a 70 Year Old Grease Monkey and Expert "Jerry Rigger"... This was the BEST VIDEO I've watched on You Tube in a Looooong Time... Your Idea had Strong Logical Possibility , that Took Thought!!! What I liked MOST was, You Didn't Give Up until You Tried All options. Remember, "There's Always More than One Way To Skin a Cat"...Problem Is, Cats Are Smarter than Us.... I Just Subed... "Book 'em DanO'"
Thanks for watching
I’ve been struggling with the stupid cord forever: this solves my problem! Thanks! 👍🏿
I love your shimmy dance. You have me cracking up. What a sense of humour!
Thanks for watching Dianne!
You never tried barbed wire, come on! Go full blown hill Billy or go home!
Razor wire?
Chain whip
If you value you time........ go buy a real trimmer. Red max, stihl, husqvarna, echo etc etc. or replace the head with one that feeds string. The secret is good string. I recommend Red max string. Very good. I think what would help you is keep it out of the concrete. Even the toughest won’t hold up too long to fence or concrete
+Halfdollar 86 all about being on a budget for me. Just went and got a new $99 trimmer that is working well for me. If I had unlimited funds I would probably go get a Stihl. I am now using the Badger Head trimmer head that I LOVE
I hate gas powered trimmers they don't make them as good as they used to and the carburetor clogs up all the time I'd rather have an electric one they make them a lot morepowerful than they used to. I have a echo And a stihl, both pains in the butt..,buy a EGO weed wacker.
Batteries always die and go out. I have countless cordless drills that are useless bcuz the batteries are dead...then the batteries cost almost as much as a new drill. If you use no ethanol jas in your trimmer and store it properly over winter just about all of them will last forever
WHO_TEE_WHO amsoil saber and stabilizer.
The secret isnt the type of line your using. Its how you use the wipper snipper. I buy cheap line from iga and i cant do my whole yard with 1 or two cut offs.
On this anniversary of 500,000 views, I thought I would go back and see some of your early videos. Congratulations, Adam!!
🙏🙏🙏
Not sure why you get dislikes this is entertaining as hell haha
Trolls hiding everywhere 😂😂😂
As soon as a corded drill makes the scene I know it's gonna be good
0:18 I use to have that model, 10 years ago. And now I got a curve shaft. Those weed eaters are my childhood favorites. 0:28 $79 ain't too bad for that trimmer. Because Tractor Supply Co. use to have those models for $99.99 each.
Buy .95 " gator wire" by the spool, I've been using it for years and works better than anything else I've found. City workers use it.
exactly!!
Hey bro, good idea, I think it would have worked if you ran the zip tie through the channels and zipped them with the resilient side facing out. You had them sideways through the holes you drilled, that's why they kept snapping.
Have you try twist tie on some coat hanger wire ?
Nope
I want to try this, just a lil nervous haha
@@jakenos51 it work pretty dam good for me but you have litely touch the grass or weed . If you hit anuthing hard the wire will bend .... rebend it back straight ...... good to go ..... ! Try not to touch brick or cement . It will eat it up ! I used the heavy duty commercial coat hanger wire .... even tougher ! Always wear face & eyes protection for dam sure with this set up ! Let me know how you made out ? Good luck !
@@jakenos51 ohhhhhh .... and full throttle before wacking to keep momentum on the wire for less bend !
@@joeblowjohnny2297 well im trying to figure out a durable setup for edging my sidewalk. Bailing wire and coat hanger was kind of the first to come to mind but i was afraid of it going through me when it breaks. Im sure the sparks will be cool too lol
I have the same type head, I love it. Use heavier string, I rarely have to replace it even cutting thick weeds.
I had the same problem but I just made an adapter and put a Echo head that took the plastic blades. It really made a difference!
Did this several years ago had the same results also I would not recommend using steel cable & bought a 4 string aftermarket trimmer head from Home Depo & I some time double up on Trimmer line meaning 2 string lines per outlet I think the trimmer head was about $20 I got really tired of winding in spool type Toro or Ryobi. This method is a lot faster & a person can precut several of them in few minutes place in pockets & reload when required.
Why no steel cable I've thought about it ?
DUDE you so remind me of Ernest goes to camp. A must watch movie👍👍 One of a kind personality 😎
He does resemble E.P.Worrell in the thumbnail, but makes me think of a somewhat inept version of Taryl Dactal on Taryl fixes all here on youtube.
Too funny! The problem is, those zip ties don’t flex the way they need to flex, so instead they just break off. Try getting a “Speedfeed 400” for your trimmer. That seems to be the way to go. If it will adapt to your line trimmer, it’s easy peazy to put line in.
Wow, I didn't know you were posting informative vids back then!
Any man that wears flip flops while using a string trimmer better keep 9-1-1 on speed dial.
👍👍
I do all the time, but the sandblasting stings like heck though, but I'd never do it using a blade!
I also sandblast my feet in summer using a lawn mower, dangerous but i cant mow lawns all day in longs and shoes/boots.
OMG, you're too funny! Thanks for the laugh and great idea! Oh no! I wonder if the wire will work?
i now use zip ties and regular trimmer string and run them both together..great combo and one set will usually last the entire yard..i cut a section of trimmer string and knot it so it will stay in place...no more winding a mess of string and beating my trimmer to death trying to get it to come out.
Awesome!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result!
Brilliant idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Works very very well
😂quite funny. I know the solution: use washing line. It has plastic on the outside and steel wire on the inside. And do it at your own risk because it is probably not safe. It just works.
This was amusing.
I've often wondered about using guitar strings!
What about an appropriate diameter steel cable instead of zip tie or plastic trimmer line?. Do what you did with the hole and zip tie but just flair one end of each steel cable so it cannot slip out the hole then it's easy to replace once it does wear down. I really think this is a winner. I'm going to try this as I'm tired of messing with my trimmer head also..poison ivy, oak etc have to wash my hands after I mess with the head every time..this would stop that plus all the buying of expensive string.
Excellent videos sir👊
one guy on here just cut some six inch long pieces of trimmer string and tied a knot in the end. he threaded one in each hole and the spinning motion tightened the knot. they last a long time, but you gotta be careful not to get too heavy of line or you'll just tear the gears out of your trimmer motor.
Bill - Exactly I have a 120.00 dollar electric Black & Decker. The spool holder on the bottom rotted out - I probably can buy a new one but no way, I do the same, I cut nylon from the spool, tie one end into a knot, thread it through opening already provided and IT WORKS BIG TIME! I had more trouble with the spool during a cut. One string last me several cuts and no spool aggravation!
@@francosworld5030 what pisses me off is i was given a perfectly good black and decker and i was going to use this trimmer line trick, but there's no hole in the spool, the hole is in the snap on cover, and it has been destroyed!
Drill a hole in it
Bill - Read your'e reply again, put the cover back on with no spool inside it, drill into the plastic, small hole (just bigger than the line) - Not should - It will work!
@@WHOTEEWHO Yes - In the plastic cover,,,I will take a photo and send to you it works perfect every time!
If you don't have a weedeater you have to NEVER BUY WEEDEATER STRING AGAIN
THANKS FOR THE LAUGH BRO..😁😂🤣😭😭😭.. ENJOYED, BLESS YOU
Thanks for watching!
lol dude you funny man made me laugh
keep up the good work man
He said fck it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What if you tied a knot in the string to hold it in place. So two nots. One on each side? Sorry if it’s been asked.
Thanks for the inspiration. Try heavier gauge cord cut shorter length and you're good to go.
I'm surprised you've got any toes left wearing them damn things 😂
I know it! All 10 still there!
today i am trying old bicycle cable!
I wanna know if it works!😅
@@tchickachick it worked but it didn't last long and the broken pieces fly all around and stick into anything soft, so only tried it once and went to something i found on the road, soft and flexible so much that it doesn't want to break , been using it a long time, now i have to try and figure out what it came from!!
All we can use the blades available in side car wiper and we can get it easily with waste wipers
Bro,I think ur my long lost Twin! Your a funny ass dude!I live in Gulf shores,Alabama! How bout you? Either way,You earned a new subscriber!
Thanks for watching! I'm in TN
Yup. I broke and threw my old weed eater in the trash.
Then I heard about the zip tie trick.
Same exact problem you had
Good idea but i just take leftover spools from weedwackers that i find while scrapping metal.. Its free lol
Have you tried tie wire?
Use cloths line wire, or better yet strips of chainsaw blades! Lol just watch your toes though!😂
Insanity is doing same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
(Albert Einstein)
I go through a 3lb bag of cut offs or a spool the size in his table a week. Buying trimmer heads every other month. I'm trying to DIY metal blades for a edger or trimming in the sections not near gravestones. The granite just shreds every type of trimmer line. Its gonna get dangerous.
I agree all these years and they have never corrected this problem.
OK, that hillbilly hustle reminds me of something, 1970's cartoons? Someone mentioned wire, that'll be great when that breaks off.... get some of the thickest string, and get as far away from what you want to cut so the tips are cutting it. Even good strings will fail quickly trying to cut up right against concrete or fencing.
Zip ties still break at a higher price
Thank you, great idea
All you had to do was buy a trimmer head for that 🤣
i'd rather not use ANY product that leaves thousands of little pieces of plastic all over the place over the years.
At least I know why the mail don't get thru / is always late or wrong addresses delivered 😮😢😵💫🥴
Only my guy Who Tee Who weed wacks in sandals!
Yeah buddy!
I wonder if nylon string would work.
This is what he's up to when he's out of ammo.
Hahahaha!!!
oh man.... this was SOOOOOO entertaining!!!! give this guy an Oscar for his acting abilities, loved the hell out of it!!!!! WHO_TEE_WHO!!!!! but I still have to edge my lawn and I'm still out of answers, but buying goats DOES sound like the best alternative!!!!
I need some goats too!
Try not locking the zip ties, just let them sit in there, the bigger end will prevent them from sliding out. It's the fastening of the zip ties that's causing them to break too much tension. You're welcome.
Good idea
Spend like $50 more and get a echo with a speed feed head. Well worth it
Lol when you put the large zip ties on it sounded like a ww2 plane
If you didn't weed wack so damn close they would last longer
Your helpful originall naturally funny .
Thanks you made my day in Swansea South Wales UK
Haha, they'd last longer if you changed the angle of the zip ties, you're going against the grain.
Better still, get a nylon head, then you'll have meters of cutting nylon - Tap and Go.
Try a metal cost hanger bend it back twist it around to keep from it flying off
I had a head that was made in a small town ; Cleavland Ga. They've long since been out of business and the factory now does something else. Any whooo the head was made of Teflon plastic ,like a solid 3 inch round shaft with slots milled in for to have a hole and hard pin to be pressed thru. A short piece of chainsaw chain was attached to the pressed pin. I had a benchtop deal to add links of chainsaw chain to it as they would where away. It was the very best one I ever had but it would knick a pair of good leather boots when a link would break off.
+Phil Lowman wow that sounds like it would work great! I would love to try that out!
Can you imagine watching a video of every one of Thomas Edison's experiments?
Would be pretty cool to see.....and probably lots of boring times too. 😆 thanks for watching!
The ones where Edison shocks elephants with AC to show how dangerous Nikolas AC is
You are hilarious...I love it!
Buy the goats. They'll weed for you and then you get milk and cheese. Win win.
The odessy was a failure but the journey througth trial and error was gloriouse...dam fun vidio..iv gots to subscribe !😁
Perfect shoes man gor working!
Get the circular saw or brushcutting blades off amazon for brushcutters
The zip tie holding his brain to his skull broke too.
You might be onto something there. Thanks for watching Ace!
Great video.i actually tried this before watching your video and the same thing happened. Then I twisted some rebar wire after being so fed up with all the twist ties. All I will say is watch your ankles. Thank God I put rain boots on for the experiment. P.s plastic knives don't work either.
Lol
Thought u was going to try the cable???
I have done the cable, It is Wicked - Good for clearing heavy brush or trimming shrubs - Keep in mind it throws stuff like 20' - So watch trimming out front and dinging the neighbors car!
After the first set of tyes I would have went straight to bicycle brake cable ;) Yer welcome...
What camera are you using? Pq looks good!
Canon g7xmark2
Use coathangar wire with a proper pivot
There are two holes on the other part that spins, I attached mine to them, did not have to do no drilling again last 2 minutes
Im guessing all them thumbs down are from ppl with no sense of humor.. lol
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
If I were you I would have drilled like eight holes in that sucker and had in abundance of whacking ability LOL
+Joey G thats a good idea!
For the love of Crist take that guard off brother 😂
👍👍
DONT
You know the porpose for that guard? Is there for 2 things. 1. Is to protect your damn legs.. and second is to cut the string when it gets loose from the head. But the other half of your brain.. is not working.
Your problem is you are using the whole string. Use just the edge or tip whatever you want to call it to cut. You don’t run the metal head against the concrete you use just the tip of the string I bet it will last FOREVER if you do it the right way.
Also only helps to soak in water the string that is not currently on the head by storing in a bag of water ieca ziploc sandwich bag any brand works for the nylon soaks up .. up to 10 or even 20 percent of its weight by the water being soaked up after about 24 to 72 hours so one or two days depending how old and thick the line is
it's a weed eater, not a concrete eater:!😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 true!
I feel your pain! I had the same idea except I attached one ziptie using another one on an empty spool and SAME. My husband says I trimmed to close to the cement but I feel like ...hello if I can't get close to the edge then whats the point of an edger??? This thing is making me crazy meanwhile weeds are growing as I speak.
I use a lit of weed killer now 😂😂😂 goes away for atleast 6 months
@@WHOTEEWHO I use that and I got Cancer, Olmos died, be careful
I was looking for a solution too. Why didn't I think of dumping it. LOL
Why-ontcha’ zip tie the weed whacker line to the head ? That-a-way you’re cutting with line but da’ zip tie stops the line from flyin’ da’ coop.
Hilarious attempts - Thomas Edison didn’t get the light bulb right the first time either! In fact I think he accidentally got the phone while he was working on the light bulb… but that Alexander Bell guy took the credit.
Who in the heck would have a weed eater with a head and spool on it that only holds 6 inches of line, that's what I wanna know
