How to Re-String a Weed Eater

[@09reason]

I've looked and looked for a spool like mine. Must have watched a dozen videos that had no relationship to mine until I found your demo. Thanks, I never would have figured this out without your instructional video.

[@jackboyd614]

FINALLY! Could not find a video with this sort of spool. Thank you!

[@blurped1952]

Finally! A great video tutorial for how to do this. It makes a lot more sense why the slots are there now, and that you have to loosely put on the bump head then pull hard to release them. Thanks!!!

[@TheJoneshouse3]

Man!! We have a homelite plt3400 weed eater and this video is the ONLY ONE on line that tells how to restring it.. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!

[@mandyswihart1241]

this is the only video I've found that was the most helpful and straight to the point. also the only one that referenced my weed eater head exactly. thank you!!

[@racheleslava5813]

Thank YOU!!!!! I asked 3 men at 3 different hardware stores for help and no one man could. I was going to order a whole new head and did not feel like waiting a week for it. The I came to u tube and this video was so easy to follow. Works for toro. Yay thanks.

[@denisedobson9519]

I think this may be easier than what I have been doing especially regarding the keeper holes which is a nightmare to get both in. I need a new whacker and was hesitant about getting a dual spool. I will get back on whether your instructions works for me. Thank you! P.S. Never knew so many people have trouble stringing like me. For me it is definitely getting it into the holes without unraveling.

[@Heath87Miranda]

Thank you!! Your video was short and to the point and so much more helpful than like 10 other videos we watched parts of before we found your video. Great!!

[@caba301]

After 5 years of asking my self how to do this the right way Thanks to you it happen

[@bobnewman1810]

Ditto what Brock Paul said. Many re-string videos, but this is the first I found for a spool like mine. Very helpful; thanks for taking the time to do it. A+++

[@vincentlaganella1349]

Thank you - thank you. Brock summed it up well and I'll just reiterate. This is a great video for a single spool, not double spool with a divider ridge on the spool for the echo. Thank you for taking the time to help the amateurs Creator Zoo. 7 years after posting, it's still paying dividends. That's Darma (good into the world), not Karma (what happens based on what you put in or take) and I appreciate you. Be well. Stay safe. My eyes and ear protection are on. My weeds are shaking at their roots. Tallyhooooooooooo

[@bedir4655]

Interesting. I thought I had to have a double line reel, but I see you are using just a signle line reel yet with two strings doing the job. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoseMartinez-wj8jb]

Thanks for showing this video I do landscape & maintenance and I have an echo weedeater head like the one in your video and I couldn't figure out how to string it. After seeing your video I figured it out so thanks.

[@melaniemartin7592]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The idiots at honda dealership had no clue as the way they showed me does not feed. Geez was it frustrating. All darn summer last year I had to keep reloading the stupid thing. Now, success.

[@justinw4713]

I found this video looking for a guide on how to install the string on my Echo PAS 280 trimmer attachment 99944200545. Even after I went back and found the original instruction manual, I still wouldn't have been able to figure it out without this video.

[@ilove_sports]

ive been doing it wrong all this time. ive been inserting strings ends into both holes in head. thanks for the vid

[@cathleensipe773]

Thank you short and simple and not dragging 👍

[@nandamayi]

Thank you! Been wrestling with this weed eater all morning and trying to find instructions

[@evolyoutdoors]

You are very welcome!

[@JohnLoCicero]

Thanks man, I took my weedwhacker to sort of a bootleg store for a tune up and new head and they gave me this style head without explaining it. And I shoulda taken the pre-stringed spool off to see how it was done before I started trimming. So I was puzzled. I first tried it this way, just that I used both holes. Then I tried one hole, but the string kept getting stuck together. I like your wrapping technique and the loose roll. Hopefully that will do the trick. I can never seem to get any head to feed string properly. Hopefully, this finger technique will work.

[@zhivago1955]

Finally found the real solution to restring my echo pas 260, thank you so much!

[@marieemmerson]

Not exactly like my trimmer...but video still worked for me. Thank you!

[@garyc3903]

Thanks worked great on restringing my Cub Cadet ST 35

[@stevenkozicki943]

This is for a Honda head and is much better than the owner's manual instructions. Thank you. By the way, what line do you think is the best for that trimmer?

[@GoldSeals]

The dual channel spool keeps the string from getting tangled inside and binding.The single channel seems to bind more.I have to keep taking it apart to pull the string out.

[@saralankford2196]

Thank you soo much ! Great step by step !

[@elasjackie9557]

Great video. Only one that worked for me. Thanks

[@jomll1]

This was a great help. Thanks!

[@tomlenehan7788]

Great video, thanks. I was winding it too tight.

[@martinwitherspoon7782]

Awesome thank you had the head I was looking for there are a lot of different ones out there but yours was like mine and did the job cheers

[@burnafterreading7335]

thanks a lot...no one ever showed me how to do this...and i hate asking for help lol

[@dfizzlee101]

this has worked for me is perfect thanks so much

[@rthompsonhtg]

I'm looking for a replacement piece as shown here. The little plastic loops where you start the string are both broken and as such it's not usable. Anyone know where I can get this exact replacement head? Thanks in advance!

[@GPblues1]

Thanks for this! It was a big help!

[@harmonyvlogs4705]

Awesome! You're a life saver! Thank you!

[@charles20744]

I'm looking for a real woman like yourself to take care of me. In return I will change your spool whenever you need it. Holla back

[@andrewmartin8130]

Finally a good demo but what size string did you use?

[@lewisangeles]

when a woman needs help she turns to Google lol now let's do some trimming 👍👍

[@sigusillah6413]

J. Lewis ,

[@mycommentskeepgettingdelet184]

Thanks for the video

[@calebwenger4755]

Great vid!

[@jpx8793]

How do you keep it from throwing the string off?

[@MrXjoeharperx]

You're my hero...lol. Thanks

[@roxydog2004]

Yeah I have an older 1 it only whips with 1 string ,I'm looking for that reinstallation !, the winding part

[@StephenSpeed69]

worked like a champ thanks fpr the help.

[@eddiejohnson6252]

Thanks for sharing.

[@129jaystreet]

thank you for the information. Unfortunately my head is different. I've had nothing but difficulty with my weed eater. It literally takes hours on end for me to weed it two small, very small yards. I am to the point where I really just want to put the darn thing in the garbage can. Maybe even sell my house. the string keeps fauling and I have to restring every 10 feet.

[@evolyoutdoors]

Don't give up. You got this! It sounds like you may need to replace the head of your weed eater though..Good luck!

[@iTzDeyo]

I think instead of a new house, a new weed wacker is in order hah

[@stacmont2]

ALGUIEN DEBERÌA FABRICAR CARRETES MÀS SENCILLOS Y CON EL ORIFICIO DE CERÀMICA, SOLO EN AUSTRALIA FABRICAN ALGO BUENO????????????????????????

[@samruane2845]

12 - 15 feet of string?! that sounds like to much!

[@evolyoutdoors]

Hi Sam, actually that is about the right length depending on the thickness of the string, and the size of the head....

[@samruane2845]

My weed whacker is way different from yours. you have to string it up totally different so i made up my own method for tying the string on.

[@lindarindfleisch5027]

sam ruane where do I get the spring in the weedeater

[@leopldoalvarez]

when i do mine the string keeps going back inside

[@hhrtcoordinator7662]

then you wrapped the string in the wrong direction

[@michellemilstid9933]

Get r dune brother noice video

[@yahansonbowling2165]

[@thedruid1151]

This is the stupidest most bullshit fucking line feed system I've ever seen in my fucking life. Could be made so easy but the fucking cocksuckers refuse to stand up to patent trolls so we get stiffed with the fucking bullshit equipment.

[@MrzTeria]

poop

[@evolyoutdoors]

And scoop!
