I was yelling and cursing at this thing like I've loaded a trimmer a million times but this was not working then I was like wtf go watch youtube you got to be missing something so thank you this trimmer is even more amazing than I already thought well u till it ran out of string that is
My husband was in a horrible accident and now I’m doing all yard work! Ran out of string last night! My first video I watched was yours thank goodness ❤ you just saved me from lots os frustration 😂
@@Barbaratioyeah but echo is the reason I now have this one. It sucks. I had a Husqvarna that I regret selling but it was the best ever. Light, powerful, well balanced, starts easily, never have me any problems. Echo hard to start and feels underpowered, even after changing all the parts and modifying the exhaust.
Thanks for the quick efficient video! One thing I'd like to add: When I took off the cap to remove the bit of old string, I noticed some dried ruffage hanging from the inside of it. I simply twisted it back and forth and tapped it out until it was cleaned out. I'm sure this is helpful for keeping the cap spinning properly for the quick load. I look forward to watching more of your videos, have a wonderful day 😊
After much confusion, once again 3 minutes on RUclips with my favorite Tool Review Guy solves the problem. And no more carb problems with the Milwaukee M18 Fuel electric trimmer…thank God!
Lifesaver 😂. I've been moaning about this trimmer ever since I got it and thinking how have they design something so bad. As soon as you said in the video "you're doing it wrong dude" I knew what you were going to say, worked a treat. Thank you.
Wow,ty..im a women and just bought a new Milwaukee and bought string for it..i used to take those apart and thread them..ugh what a job..not anymore you saved the day and my precious time..wait till my boyfriend finds out i put this on without his helpbir anyone else .ty much!!!
This Video is the BEST! All these years and I just learned the Right way. This Guy did the video as though I was doing it my self. Easy to Understand, Love the Comedy too. It's Like he's in your Garage showing Ya. 5 STAR Video.
I new I had to watch a video just like this one, when my new Milwaukee trimer ran out of string. I just bumped into this video it and saw it in advance. Thank you.
Wow thank you so much. I just bought the Milwaukee string trimmer, first time ever owning a string trimmer and I was really frustrated at spooling it by hand. This saved me so much time, thank you!
Oh man hallelujah!!! My husband left town without stringing my weed eater - yes my weed eater not his lol. So I went to RUclips and wow did it myself in about five minutes. Thank you thank you. And now I can show him because he’s been taking off the cap too.
Made life with my milwaukee survivable brother. I was cursing this things existence lol. Thanks for reading the owners manual and making a video for it man 👍
Lol I'm laughing so hard at myself because u have taken all this stress I go through everytime. Thxs for giving up the secret lol. You relief maybe 95% of the viewers on here life for showing this to us.
Yes the secret..the secret that is in the manual if you would have only taken the time to read it. That being said, I am here because I am in the same boat lmao! So easy to reload now that I know how to do I correctly haha
My hero! Thank you so much for showing this helpful video, specifically for the Quik-Lok Trimmer! YAY! I hate to do it WRONG, then admit I'm a dummy when my husband gets home. God-Bless!
Thank for showing us. I just got mine today and replaced it with my pivotrim before ever using it. Has a great system and gives 6 strings of cutting. Plus you can add rino blades that quick connect in.
Thank you for this. Right out of the box it wasn’t working. I checked the rod and made sure the attachment was slid back all the way and it’s working like a champ!
I love my Milwaukee trimmer, just loaded mine for the 1st time an hour ago and it's almost TOOOOOOO DAMN EASY....if you are looking to buy a weed whacker, then spend the extra 100 or 150 and buy this one. U will never have to put a spark plug, oil or gas in it. It goes thru batteries kinda fast so I would recommend buying a bigger battery or extra battery, like an 8.0 or bigger if u can. But seriously Milwaukee just makes amazing products, that's why they cost a bit more because they last and they r so user friendly. This is not a paid endorsement, I just love this company and it's products.😎
I couldn’t have said it better. I swear I’m not paid by them or am a bot lol I love milwaukee with all my heart. I’ve made a living off the m18 and some m12 line of tools so I basically owe them my life. Lol
Great video for those who were too thick headed to actually read the 4 page quick start manual that came with the trimmer that explains how to do this.
Why does the instruction booklet not tell you this? We've been so close to throwing our line trimmer across the room in frustration. This video has saved us about 40 mins in angry time trying to reload that thing...thank-you
I refuse to accept that it has always been this easy. The years wasted that I will never get back! Kidding aside, this is fantastic. Thanks for the vid.
My brother, you the man. I have had my trimmer for a year now and had to add string last week and it kept coming out on me and I was looking for a aftermarket head and saw tool review zone. So glad I watched your video and I’ve been a fan of yours for sometime now. Thanks for the info on my Miwawkay I ay 😂 weed eater
Thank you so much! My husband usually strings it up but I wanted to do some weed whipping when he wasn't home and needed new string this helped tremendously great video thank you.
perfect timing. great video. i swear the factory worker loaded it up wrong from the purchase. been a hard time using the line trimmer. hopefully not now!
Great timing Clint. I ordered the Milwaukee Quik-Loc string trimmer attachment last Thursday and it's supposed to be delivered today. I already have the hedge trimmer and pole saw attachments but added the string trimmer to the mix. Thanks for the how-to vid. Cheers!
@@ToolReviewZone I have a follow up question. I just received the Milwaukee string trimmer attachment this afternoon and obviously will need more string pretty soon. How much string did you cut off for re-spooling since I want to purchase it in bulk? Thanks Clint!!!
@@amoscardoza5253 I'm hanging in there Amos. Recovering from COVID-19 since March is not fun. Two days good, one week bad. Not sure how it'll all pan out since there is no cure. Hope you and your family are doing well mate. Cheers!
Cool video. I’m shocked on the comments of people not figuring it out. But not everyone is mechanically inclined and mowing their lawn since they were 10 lol.
🙏 Thank you, me & my husband whipped out ours today for the first time this year to re-thread 'n to weed wack. Last year we bought it (same as in your video) and I have to say we have been doing it wrong..
I really needed this tip. Hubs is at work and I couldn't get it to work and all the words have been worn away from use. I still had the red lines though. Thank you sooooo much!
🇦🇺 Thanks mate, had a few Jacks 🥃 before I started my lawn, couldn’t figure out how to to feed the line ( 1st time ) your vid done the trick !!!! Good job buddy…., we’ll done ✔️
I was stringing it the way you showed but I start trimming and then 1 minute later I don't have any string. It get's sucked in or something. Not sure why. This Dude-ette will keep trying :-) Thanks for the video!!!!
It's "you're" ( you are). But thanks a BUNCH for your help. I have hated my Milwaukee string trimmer since I bought it because the string would never release and I would have to take the head apart and restring it every time the string broke off. Your video literally saved my sanity! Your trick is the best one I've seen anywhere!
Thanks Clint. Just placed an order for the string trimmer kit and hedge trimmer attachment last night. Taking advantage of Milwaukee’s current promotion at HD. Thanks for the tutorial...you’re a beast cuz 👍
This is the first time that not reading the instructions has messed me up. Thank you SO much - now I can do it the right way, and STILL not read the instructions!
I think some of the complaints are about the line not wanting to go through the second hole. If your line has a pretty good bend to it, it wants to curve inside the head instead of coming out the other side. And fyi, Milwaukee started issuing the easy refill head on the original(non-qikloc).
Dude I've own this tool for two yrs. Dude for two yrs I been doing it wrong. Life just got easier. Thank you.
im crying right now. thank you. my life is so much easier
Hahaha, awesome 👊
Yoo fr fr
bingo im dead so easy

Man I was doing it wrong dude! I was cussing and getting so frustrated. This is why it helps to read the instructions that come with things. 😂😂
Haha, I did the same thing bro
Man! The instructions are terrible.
Yeah I thought the instructions did suck big time!
This instruction don't say anything about "wind" or "load".
Just spent 30min loading it the pull apart way ….RTFM ….Thanks
The guys at Milwaukee should get a nobel prize for this kinda innovation
Stihl has been doing this for years nothing new.
Echo has been doing this for years too
I've had a "speedfeed" head on mine for 12 years at least
Echo should get the nobel prize, they've had the speed feed for longer.
@@Barbaratioyeah but echo is the reason I now have this one. It sucks. I had a Husqvarna that I regret selling but it was the best ever.

Brother you saved this brand new trimmer from being thrown away in the middle of this Texas heat! Milwaukee needs to award you for this video!!!
Hahaha, so glad it helped Gabriel!!! 👊👊👍
Are you unable to read the manual, or just too stupid to download one from Milwaukee's web site?
Great video for those who were too thick headed to actually read the 4 page quick start manual that came with the trimmer that explains how to do this.
Amazing. I have had my Milwaukee trimmer for six plus years. I hated having to reload the string cuz I was doing it wrong!! Thank you bunches.
Thanks Dude. “ I Have been doing it wrong!” This is what RUclips is for. Make life simpler.
Your a lifesaver Duuude!!!! Thank you for helping this old man out and making my life much easier today!!!

Great review young fella 😂 love it 😂
It's infuriating how simple this is. Thanks for the video

It's infuriating trying to get any string that isn't perfectly straight through the damn hole. I absolutely HATE this string trimmer.

Dude!!!! I just bought this machine and I’m setting it up for tomorrow morning… I just couldn’t figure it out. Thanks so much!!!
This video taught me how to do it the wrong way. I always did it your way but now I’m interested in the take apart method. 😂
I was doing it wrong, dude!!!
Thanks for keeping me from throwing this thing off the mountain.
🤣👊👊
I feel so dumb 😮all these years I wasted…RUclips university taught me in 3 minutes 🤦🏾 thx bro!
Thank you so much I almost cried while trying to put the line in but because of this it helped so much
Very useful!! This sure beats "ol school" ways of installing line
LOL!
Now I know what I was doing wrong.
I was winding when I should have been wīnding!
Good video. Straight to the point.
If the new line doesn't want to go though take the cap off. Mine had factory line left and I removed it and worked. Thank you for this video.
That is so awesome!!! I have been having such a difficult time…trying to put the line on like other weed trimmers. Thank you!!!
Thank you I was fighting with mine today had it for 3 years never had to put string in it
Think I watched last summer back again this summer See you again next summer thanks for making it easy

Thanks! Awesome easy to follow instructions. I was doing it all wrong dude.
Haha, glad it helped 605!!!
I think some of the complaints are about the line not wanting to go through the second hole. If your line has a pretty good bend to it, it wants to curve inside the head instead of coming out the other side. And fyi, Milwaukee started issuing the easy refill head on the original(non-qikloc).
guilty! I was doing it wrong.. Thank You!! this is exactly what I needed.
This guy deserves a medal....
Hahahaha 👊
Thank you for clarifying. The instructions are about as clear as mud!
🤣🤣🤣👊👊
Man I'm glad I stumbled upon this!! Just bought one of these.
Will definitely make you like much easier Ryan 👊
I knew Milwaukee made it easy. Their tools are all awesome. Thanks!
