How to Make Weed eater / trimmer / wacker blade - DIY hack

[@JavierDrWeld]

Good hack, hard to find ideas like this, you've just save me a bunch of money, thanks.

[@designertjp-utube]

Agreed. *GEICO* _has left the chat._

[@Grumpy7433]

This fellow is a smart cookie. I'm 70, 'suspect he's over 50 anyhow. Let me suggest NOT using a split lockwasher- but a 'waffle' type lockwasher to allow finer adjustment of pressure, then also use Locktite Blue to prevent the nut from vibrating off. :) Very nice / 'gotta go try it now

[@diazaa]

MAN!!! Thank you so much, I'm in Houston and was stumped as to why my weed eater doesn't perform like in other videos. It's bc I have that same super thick St. Augustine grass!!! Gonna make one of these to get my sidewalk back, then switch back to the string. Thank you x a million!!!!

[@beandrive]

Great idea, thinking outside the box. Thanks for sharing.

[@beandrive]

Love your music.

[@salsa29erlove]

i needed a new reason to eat a gallon of ice cream

[@freewaybaby]

I’m in central Texas and I hear ya’! Stupid St, Augustine grass takes over my driveway and sidewalk and a string trimmer just makes it grow faster! I need to do something like this!

[@pattiannepascual]

try pouring salt in the cracks or white vinegar. just make sure no animals walk on the salt as it's very toxic to pets, who will lick it off their paws.

[@Muscles_McGee]

Now that's American Ingenuity! Can-do, make-do spirit! I wonder if the tops and bottoms of large cans, like institution size food cans and big coffee cans can be snipped as super-inexpensive and long-lasting cutters? They could even do brush cutting. Double-up the can-end blades on the trimmer, or even tripple 'em, and the thing would last for years. Very nice hack! Might have to experiment, try washers between each blade, etc

[@aprilmay578]

Excellent idea. Now I have a good exscuse to eat a lot of ice cream. Thanks for the video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@designertjp-utube]

Cool! I'll brang the Chocolate sprinkles. But seriously, I'm Aries, so can you guess what month my birthday is in? _Hint.._ Your name is what brought me here!

[@wik4037]

Definitely trying this. Should work as a great edger too once your grooves are cut in next to the concrete

[@designertjp-utube]

Hahaha! Brilliant! you had me at - _"....a bucket of ice cream"!_

[@jimrandall6309]

Best idea I have seeming yet I'll will try thanks for the tip❤

[@montybates5176]

This is a very informative video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Whaaaaat??? This is awesome!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

That is such a great idea! Very cool and environmentally friendly!

[@eyesoftheuniverse2712]

+BlueprintDIY: thanks so much. I love your channel

[@christuell532]

Absolutely brilliant! Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@arrendatripp1540]

Pretty neat I will try this awesome trick for electric one

[@mikenewton6522]

Excellent, clear instructions. Thanks

[@daveb0324]

An icecream lid. 😂😂😂 thats thinking outside the box

[@MrDarbyk]

Very cool! And I like the music too.

[@Swenser]

Medium soft silicone/ hard rubberish material may be better to avoid breakage. Hey, I'm wondering if you can get sugar free sweetened ice cream in U.S? Australia has 1. And it's expensive.

[@Simon05784]

However how long would this plastic last really? Just inquiring.

[@NiKi-uq7ed]

Good initiative. I like it. Thanks for your sharing.

[@TheLeedsAppreciationSociety]

Nice one. Just got to find a suitable lid and the back garden will be useable once more. A++++

[@paulharrisonsa]

Great idea, where do i get the template?

[@orangequant]

Great video- thanks. very clear.

[@Cherbear609]

Wow, your wife is very lucky to have a man that has "know-how"...

[@bullrun44]

Does the “ice cream” blade endure wear and tear better than the stringer line. And thank you for sharing the video.

[@neilfroggycrompton2466]

Would it work better with 4 blades or more cutting edges,did u try sharpening the blade edges?

[@barbarianblood2316]

This is a great idea.

[@gatrwrksMarshall]

Will this blade cut tall weeds?

[@royalbookshopper]

Brilliant! Would it work better if you clipped off the edge of the lid? I'm a creative (lol, cheap) person, also, and in the spirit of reuse-reduce-recycle, I have made replacement parts for my pool filter (outrageously expensive to replace) which have actually lasted longer than the original equipment. Of course, the folks who make their living selling the replacement parts don't like my creative solutions much, but if I can make something that lasts five years out of an ice cream carton lid, why can't they supply that stuff without gouging the consumers??? :-)

[@leonardrobloxandmore]

Will it work with a echo gas trimmer or will it spin it too fast

[@beandrive]

Try it and see what happens, go for it.

[@computerjantje]

nice trick

[@KristerKnutars]

Brilliant! 👌👍

[@mrgoodtimes05]

Why not cut the pattern out of the paper, then trace on the lid. Much easier to keep centered.

[@jessehawkins5260]

Are you dumb or goofy because he did exactly what you just said he needed to do🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

[@pattiannepascual]

this looks like a great idea if it lasts long enough.Has anyone here tried using a cd or dvd? I was going to try that soon. if pieces crack off a dvd, it would only give you more sharp edges. not sure if it cracks in half though .I will have to make time to try it.

[@Seriouslydave]

They shatter

[@roccalumera1294]

Nice hack , thanks for sharing.

[@conradab1]

Way to recycle plastic. Thanks I'm ready to give it a try!

[@r4ng3rownz8]

Cool music, it matches the video.

[@dankjankings7339]

I tried this. This is absolutely a dang joke....good one bruh a bunch of people tried this and told you off in their heads

[@torque_4285]

Have you tried putting on a saw blade? Yea, it sounds dangerous. That's why you fly/hover your feet off the ground.

[@danlangevin2459]

Awesome!

[@banga8080]

You just save me 30$ Doing this today

[@go5582]

Hi handsome. Thanks

[@mrgoodtimes05]

Are you serious? Out in the yard with a micrometer. Who does that? A nerd

[@oomz1975]

Cool shit is usually invented by nerds .

[@memyselfandi6422]

"Installing weed eater string/line was never fun" lol - You make it sound like it requires a huge expenditure of energy in order to re-string a weed eater, holy fuck it takes like 1 second to cut a piece of weed eater line and 3 seconds to wind the line around the spool.

[@RickySanchez-w6z]

He means buying it

[@dirtykamo6109]

Why are you edging your yard that way? The big red wheel is on it and designed just to do that.... Edge and be manageable. You want to really test it out, then edge the yard using the wheel and stand it up. That's gonna show you just how long that blade will actually last. Good idea tho.....

[@OOICU812]

Looks like the homemade blade isn't wide enough to use that way.

[@garychandler4296]

Troo Dat. Edging is nearly half of the equasion, and edging that way just promotes sooner growth, leaving you with edges before mowing periods. Use an edger or make this from 5-gallon bucket lids, to achieve the depth necessary. Probably a better alternative anyway, and thanx for posting!

[@clivepritchard]

Yeah, great idea for a 3 minute video

[@supersnake2099]

You are a creative person but I have to call this one a failed bit. Sorry but I am being honest. Keep on tweaking, that is part of the fun. :)))

[@OOICU812]

Failed? Why do you say that?

[@jesusgil3191]

En el video se ve bien el corte y el manejo pero en la realidad me parece un trasto.

[@Neaskemenna68]

Nice idea. Going to give a try

[@eddieb35]

Nice try buddy!

[@GeorgiaThriftNutz]

Pretty slow for x5 speed. I may not be as patient as you.

[@vjmightyw]
