[@lkyhood4200]

Thank you. Exactly what I need. No BS.

[@DIYwithCam]

I'm glad I could help without any nonsense.

[@bradandrews777]

I ultimately found that I had a little trim stuck inside the head. Had to remove it to get it completely clear and now I can't get all 4 sides to stay connected to reattach the head!

[@billalexander8011]

Thanks from Florida, this helped me replace the string. I have one of the crank things which helps.

[@DIYwithCam]

Glad it helped!

No podemos ponerlo con mi esposo de regreso ala máquina el cabezal de abajo😢

[@evehimmelheber3698]

what about when it won't come OUT the other side???

[@DIYwithCam]

make sure you try and straighten the line as much as possible. You may need to wiggle the line a little to get it through, but it typically goes through with very few issues. If this doesn't work, try turning the ump feed rewind 180 degrees and try again and make sure you have the correct size string.

[@evehimmelheber3698]

@DIYwithCam Got it. Had to break it down reseat it, and realized that it wasn't seating in line. Had to push it to left a hair, then no problem. Thank you!

I have been through 4 new heads on my trimmer in the last year. Poor design can't take a normal beating???

[@DIYwithCam]

I am noticing that mine is starting to get very worn out already. A new head or a new weed eater may be on the cards?

[@banksiasong]

In English, "10 feet" = 3 metres.

[@DIYwithCam]

Pretty sure both are English. You want metric, not imperial. It's good to be fluent in both measuring systems as different countries use both.

[@117Burn]

Hey does this thing self feed Mine doesn't seem to self feed 😢

[@DIYwithCam]

You need to rewind by hand or with the tool that came with the weed eater.

[@HaniJIsmail]

My string won't go straight thru the other side 😢now HOA gonna fine the fuck outta my ass for weeds Oh shit I got it, I watched another short You gotta turn the green push thing to make the holes line up first where you can see straight thru

[@biantok]

And then what ??

[@bigbodybenz13]

the only fuckin cancer part for me is tryna get it from one hole to the other i’m literally gonna have a heart attack soon from this shit

[@DIYwithCam]

Straighten out the string line first before putting it in.

[@bradandrews777]

It still doesn't go through!

[@bigbodybenz13]

@@bradandrews777 ik but be very patient brodie do everything in your power to keep it as straight as possible and keep hoping it catches brother I promise it’ll happen just stay calm😭☠️

[@FEspinosa78]

A freaking short. I don't want this

[@DIYwithCam]

Don't watch the vertical videos then. KZbin is pushing them and thats what a lot of people are watching. The attention span of people now is so short, that shorts are what a lot of people are after. I still do long-form, link is in the pinned comment. You must really hate shorts to comment, that is commitment.

[@lowkey182]

​@DIYwithCam this SHORT is Exactly what I wanted not a 5min video! Thanks brotha. Also fun fact but I keep hearing YT and FB are trying to get away from Shorts! Guess it's costing them revenue! Have a good one!

[@bryananderson3772]

​@@DIYwithCamJoe Rogan has 3 hour podcasts and he's the number one on the planet. Attention spans are only short for a small variety of people. (I like shorts when the situation warrants it)

[@John-qp4cb]

I put 18 feet in mine it worked fine help you change it less

[@DIYwithCam]

I'm going to give that a try, also going to try some better line too. Just following the instructions, if I said 18 on a video like this, I would get roasted by the KZbin Keyboard warriors. lol

[@John-qp4cb]

@@DIYwithCam I know exactly what you mean, they are ruthless. I tried some stihl line off the spool my dad had and measured it and cut it and it worked great.

[@DIYwithCam]

@@John-qp4cb Totally are. I'll try the Ugly Twist that I have that worked really well in my old Gas Weed Eater.

[@JayZoop]

You don’t even say align the arrows.

[@DIYwithCam]

Thanks for commenting, I thought it was fairly obvious as you can see the arrows ligned up at the start of the video , but clearly not.

[@JayZoop]

@@DIYwithCam A person might assume the arrows are always aligned.

[@user-ty6do8yz4l]

That didn’t help at all

[@DIYwithCam]

Thanks for the feedback

[@TheMrbuckeye3]

So wrong

[@DIYwithCam]

Really? How would you rewind it then?
