Hey you just solved my problem after a half-hour of messing about! I came right here and boom! - you had me going in less than 5 minutes. Would never have worked that spooling action out for myself! Top marks, THANK YOU

[@ht8259]

Yours is the only video that worked for me!!! I had the head jammed (didn’t need a new one) & then figured out how to load it. THANK YOU!!! This trimmer has sat in my garage for years… till today. Gotta go work now. God bless

[@SparkyChannel]

Excellent!

[@dec0r8or]

Thanks so much! This saved me from buying a whole new cassette! You saved the day!

[@StephenAvis-h7z]

Sparky is very clear and shows the detail. I can now take of and clean my Quickload trimmer head to clean it. This is important and I try to do it monthly based oh what I have been trimming. Use the heaver string. Superior strength and last longer.

[@darcyrobinson]

Cheers mate. Good, simple video. Baffling why the replacement head doesn’t come with an instruction sheet - or a QR code to a video or something.

[@Leonardqh5kp]

Thanks mate - was about to replace the dewalt 60v, until I saw this video! New lease of life

[@peacefrog0521]

Sparky sounds like Scotty Kilmer. 😀 @ 1:06 I expected him to go “Ungh!” when taking off the old head.

[@SparkyChannel]

LOL!

[@shadowdog500]

If your line is coiled and won’t feed through completely because of deflection, put a coffee stirrer straw through the head and feed the line through that. Remove the straw once the head is threaded and store it with your supply of string.

[@SparkyChannel]

Love it, thanks!

[@bill875]

Genius! Just have to tape a few to the container that holds the trimmer line and you're golden!

[@gordonmacqueen8694]

If you have a DeWalt string trimmer and don't love it, change to this head. It's easy and it's like a whole new trimmer. Love it!!

[@dcbeerboy76]

Thanks for this. This was a really easy fix for a really annoying issue. My head would never advance and the cap broke and barely stayed on. I'd have to take the cap off and pull both sides of the string about every 5 mins.

[@SparkyChannel]

No problem, thanks!

[@leonardsmith82]

That tool is awesome and you're awesome for showing how to load it 😎👍

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks!

[@mnbytestube]

Thank you for this video. I didn't read the manual but I did follow the instructions on another youtube video. That video showed taking the head apart and he actually threaded it on backward. (though the comments said to do it the other way) That is how I was doing it until I found this awesome video. It is sooooo much easier than taking the thing apart.

[@SparkyChannel]

You can take it apart if there is a piece of string caught in the head or if you want to clean it. But 95% of the time just reload the string! Thanks!

[@Alan_Kress]

I am do the opposite swap. The quick load head isn't well designed. The two clips that secure the top cover to the spool housing break fairly easily. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@sifuweber1478]

Well explained. Almost returned mine. Thanks for this!

[@akaredcrossbow]

I’m about to string my Dewalt DCST920 20v MAX XR that I bought last year on Amazon and I just noticed it came with the head you installed. I went on Amazon to review my order and the head that was supposed to come with it is the one you originally took off yours. IDK it has worked fine for me for a year, will see how it preforms after I re-string it. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@philipjohn4149]

They did a volume 2 with a new head. Your will work not bad so long as you are carfull if edging. It tends to break off at the hole.

[@solbishopable]

Re: Does not work with DCST925. Just tried and returned the quick spool. The 925 head shaft diameter is way smaller than in the video

[@ExaltedSeahawksFan]

Hey Sparky, how does that trimmer head dispense the line when out trimming? Do you tap it, or is there a trigger? Thanks.

[@SparkyChannel]

You tap it. Thanks!

[@ExaltedSeahawksFan]

Sparky Channel ok thanks

[@Mentaculus42]

Just installed one, one note is that I had to find a screwdriver that was NOT TOO BIG, as you have to get it to fit into the third inner slot that might not allow a large WIDE screwdriver blade head to be accommodated.

[@SparkyChannel]

Excellent point. Thanks!

[@Resist4]

Does anyone know if DeWalt sells just the cap for this head? I hate to have to keep spending around $30 to replace the whole spool head when all I need is the cap. That's the part that gets beat up.

[@558vulcanxh]

Hello, I don't like bumping the head to feed the line, it leaves marks on the lawn too so I've found, same as my 128ld Husqvarna, is to squeeze the cap with one or two thumbs and pull the required line through with my folded finger, same other side .Works a treat and dead easy .Good luck Folks 😊

[@Resist4]

@@558vulcanxh It's called bump feed for a reason. Having to turn it off and flip it around just to squeeze the cap to feed out line wastes too much time. I'll keep bump feeding it, thank you.

[@robalan57]

What do you like about the 0.095 line instead of 0.080 line?

[@SparkyChannel]

It lasts longer because it doesn't break as easily.

[@_-nexus-_6257]

How can I release the string in the weed eater? We own a gas powered one that you slam against the ground to get more line to release. However, with our Dewalt it has alot of line on it but it won't let anymore out.

[@SparkyChannel]

It sounds like you have some tangled line in the head. If so, pull most of it out and reload the line.

[@REE-Animation]

Thank god for this video.. I broke mine by turning it counter clockwise, which is usually what you do when you want to loosen something up.. So this make no sense to me. Anyways, thank you very much for the video 👌

[@SparkyChannel]

Glad it helped!

[@Mentaculus42]

Just look at the trimmer’s normal working rotation, if it was like “normal” the head would loosen up by itself!

[@danjohnston4290]

How to remove the quick load spool head

[@JamesZ1025]

Will the 60 volt trimmer operate on a 20 volt battery?

[@SparkyChannel]

If it says "Flex Volt" it will. Otherwise, no.

[@annacraft]

No, it will not. You can use the Flexvolt 60V batteries in 20V tools but of course not vice versa. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Mentaculus42]

Absolutely not, that is the combination that does not work! Most 20v tools/devices will work on the 60v batteries except for some exceptions usually due to size constraints. Some newer 20 volt tool might sense if a 60 volt battery is installed and are marketed and sold with a 60 volt battery (sometimes). Just checked and the 20 v battery is not “keyed” to fit into the 60 v trimmer!

[@simonpollitt4410]

Sparky, when you are loading the string I can’t tell which way you are ratcheting it, you do it toooo fast. I can ratchet it either way. Can you tell me if you are winding clockwise or counterclockwise

Did you figure this out?

[@cascadianone]

[@ralphgoldsborough4392]

[@SparkyChannel]

[@Justiceair]

I have had to replace three head caps because they disintegrate after just a couple of hits on the ground. DeWalt doesn’t sell just the cap I’ve had to purchase the whole assembly which cost $45.00 each time. I only need the cap. Where can I meet just the cap.

[@SparkyChannel]

I'm not sure. You might call DeWalt on that one.

[@SoleEpiphany]

Awesome content, I just ordered the flexvolt trimmer(DCST972X1). Having trouble getting the edger and blower attachments though. How do you find the dewalt line? Do you have a preference in brand or style line?

[@SparkyChannel]

I love the Flexvolt trimmer but prefer the EGO blower.

[@Mentaculus42]

You have to be specific about WHICH Dewalt blower, some are barely adequate, the 60 v I have is great, but you better have a $1000 worth of 60 v batteries if you have a big job as it takes a lot of power.

[@deanclarke2881]

[@LouHemi]

Chris Koch I already clean under it and check the all the head it’s already clean idk why. I think I just need to change this head

[@MrIrishalley]

when you say "cleaned" did you remove the head or just get what you could see? if you didnt remove the head there can/will be grass all wrapped around the shaft between the head and the "spacer" for lack of a better term. this will prevent the head from depressing. like in his video, you need to put a screw driver in the guards hole and the locking hole on the shaft. then turn the head clockwise. once its off the spacer and head will separate and you can remove the grass. this is the only way to remove the grass. and as far as i know you cant take the head apart like you would a typical weed wacker
