How to replace the line on a Ryobi One+ 18v Line Trimmer

[@Humphrey181]

I’ve pulled out the Ryobi manual, and not a word on how to restring the spool. This video is never going to go viral, but you are helping a lot of people. Many thanks.

[@siew-tuansmith1204]

thanks Matt, you made it so easy to follow for an elderly lady who has never had to trim the garden but is doing so now due to changed circumstances.

[@lindabarrett7605]

I am 74 years old still doing my lawn I always struggle with the line on the Weedwhacker. Your video was the best I’ve ever seen thank you for your health

[@justjoanish]

Part of the problem I find is that these machines are made for larger hands, and as a woman it's difficult for me to have the reach and pressure I need to do things like this. Men still designing things for men only.

[@LindaLeblanc-gj3nl]

Thank you I'm a 72 year old widow and my husband didn't teach me how to restring our Ryobi weed eater your video was perfect ❤

[@juliebarber9898]

Thanks for the clear explanation. Bought the string for $3.50 and successfully wound it myself. So much cheaper & more sustainable than buying the strung spools.

[@kolankprof]

Excellent Video, Matt. As of yesterday, a 5 pack spool of 0.080" line cost nearly $30 at Home Depot, whereas 100 ft of line at Wal-Mart was $5 on sale. This was a big money saver for me. Thanks!

[@xTwistedPeach]

Thank youuu, this is the only tutorial I actually understood and figured out quickly. 😅

[@matt-talks-tech]

Glad it helped!

[@annabelmoodie9992]

EXELLENT, I'm a chick who is very capable but had no idea how to change the trimming line until l watched your video ❤

[@Twitntwit]

Thanks Matt, really helpful for a single mom like me maintaining our nice yard. I love trimming, I find the grass smell relaxing 😁🥰

[@jenniferedgar2580]

I couldn't find my manual today and really need to restring my Ryobi today. Perfect video. Very clear and concise.

[@MatthewSorensen-n7w]

Great tutorial!!! Thanks for making it all so simple… cheers

[@ChristinaMariaWendt]

I’ve never changed weed wackier trimmer line before. Your video helped so much. Thank you, I thought this would be a pain but you explained perfectly.

[@mrhalfstep]

I find that doing this once, by trial and error, until I find the optimal length, I can then strip the line back off and measure it. Once I have the length, I then cut half a dozen pieces to that length and then roll them back onto the bulk spool. In the future, when the trimmer runs out of line, I just pull off one of the pre-cut pieces and wind it onto the empty spool without having to deal with unspooling it from one reel as I spool it onto the other reel. Requires less dexterity and lays onto the trimmer reel with fewer kinks to sort out. When I pull off the last pre-cut line, I use it to measure some more. It is also helpful to mark the length on a piece of tape on the trimmer shaft, just in case.

[@markkraus8674]

Good tip - care to share that "optimal length"? Is it 4 meters (13 feet)?

[@mrhalfstep]

@@markkraus8674 It will vary, that's why I said that I find it by trial and error first. Start wrapping it around your spool until you get the amount that winds on easily, then pull it off and measure it. Now you can just make a bunch of them that long and have them ready when you need them. I usually stick one in my packet while I'm trimming so when my trimmer runs out in the middle of the job I can respool it right there on the spot. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

[@saddlepants]

THANK YOU! your instructions are so easy to understand. I found your video first before I ordered new cartridges. I figured this thing had to be refillable. So now I'll just pick up some string. I might even have some. Yay!!

[@chrissydeaquino7099]

Your video was awesome thank you. My nephew is away and forgot to show me what to do.Have saved this for next time.

[@megdahlin1118]

Thank you for doing such a user-friendly video. Got it on the first try.

[@jaykay635]

Thank you, found this really helpful. Was worried that I had no other option than to buy a new spool.

[@IESchardijn]

Thanx Matt. You're an awesome teacher

[@hoskeebo]

I have been searching for good directions on how to do ths FOREVER. Thanks so much for your clear and helpful directions.

[@Afterimage_Rush]

Thank you very much for this video!! It helped me a lot! Very clear, to the point, wrll explained!!

[@justjoanish]

Thank you for going slowly and showing close up so we could actually see what to do. Does it matter what kind of replacement line we buy? Signed, new subscriber

[@bjviers1841]

Wonder what the length shouldd be .. thanks so much it sure helped me !

[@grandadmiralthrawn5517]

First time doing this on my Ryobi. Thanks my friend! Very helpful.

[@luckylaura4821]

thank you so much...I read the booklet to re-string and it made NO sense. You made it so easy!!

[@LWren-nr6ud]

Thank you! Doing my friend's lawn and forgot how to use a line trimmer 😅

[@efrainyanez6790]

Very helpful video, thank you! I finally found out why the spool wasn’t working correctly!

[@georgia4706]

Omg Matt you're a legend, thank you!

[@Azurann]

Thanks! Was really easy to follow and showed everything you need to know.

[@vulmova]

Thank you very much for this video. It is very factual and gave me the information I needed.

[@bonniewatkins5260]

Wonderful! Confirms what I’ve been doing is right. So why does it keep breaking and coming out of the eyelet? Every couple of feet I need to stop and take it out to put back in the eyelet

[@michaeltba9062]

The line actually gets brittle with age. There are videos of people soaking the line in boiling water before putting it in their whipper snippers.

[@doughammond4997]

I concur with the best. Thanks for being so clear!

[@jillsmith8148]

Thank you this video was such a help

[@ninadhardikar4582]

Brilliant :) Thank you. Concise and perfect explanation

[@CopperhillFarm-ge9er]

Thanks so much for the easy to understand tutorial

[@truth4ALLTHEUS]

Great! Thx. First time threading the line on a weedeater 😊

[@Mike-li5yq]

Thanks Matt. I followed your instruction to the letter several times using the original Ryobi line however once I start to use the trimmer it cuts for a few seconds or so then the line snaps off where the line comes out of the head. Could this be a tension problem or is it some other problem that is causing this to happen?

[@damianlarcombe7221]

Thanks Matt, I have a similar line trimmer and tried to put the line through both holes. If there are two holes for the line need to be coming out of both?

[@seriqoon7519]

Great video thanks Matt, im always worried not enough has come out, how do you get it to push more line out? Newbie to doing the laws myself and recently brought the electric Ryobi tools :) so much easier than trying to pull the cord to start the petrol ones

[@Lucky_Thirteen13]

Thanks mate, it helped me allot

[@heyitstemo2478]

Thank you’ this was so helpful!

[@LizzyAnnSharing]

Awesome Matty Thanks 🙏

[@templekeepernd]

Youe video was great but I have two strings and the spool doesn't match the ones in any videos I found. Wish you would do one with two strings.

[@MonteBros.]

Perfect tutorial thank you brother

[@matt-talks-tech]

My pleasure

[@darlenesee2561]

Thank you for this... But I did exactly what you said to do and it unraveled as soon as I started using it. The replacement line I have is "universal" and seems quite thick -- maybe this is the issue, though it doesn't make sense

[@creativeinspiration4094]

I agree. It happened to me too. It’s definitely not the right way to do it. My father in law installed it for me using the universal replacement line and it worked. I should have paid closer attention.

[@ggurler3621]

Thank you. Much appreciated.👏

[@LeftBankDesign]

Thanks. Super helpful

[@matt-talks-tech]

You're welcome!

[@nancyates9822]

My string keeps going back in.its so aggravating.i keep having to pull it back through the little hole.any ideas.

[@rollieravert8954]

How many different heads are there on these Ryobi trimmers. I've watched two video's and neither are like mine?

[@cindynapoli7530]

Thank you for the help. it didnt bend back as nicely as when you did it so I may have to do it again

[@maryrachelquinn5200]

Lifesaver. Thank you!!

Any tips/demis on winding line onto a twin feed ( 2 holes) Ryobi RLT 5030 Whipper Snipper spool please ? I an losing my mind trying. 😡🤪😂

[@jDw_1992]

I have 36V. I find this line so weak... its frustrating unless I'm doing something wrong.

[@YolkSandwich]

Thank you for this video.

[@Katiieee124]

I don’t understand why but mine keeps going under the spool every single time I go to use it, even following your instructions so closely.

[@sparky39]

Having same problem, no reply yet.

[@Katiieee124]

@@sparky39 I found I was winding the line the wrong way, and it was unspiralling and then catching underneath the head.

Hold up. Wait a second. There is a hole you can feed the line into, to hook the trim?! 😲
