Milwaukee Quik-Lok String Trimmer - (Your Doing IT WRONG DUDE!) Here is a tip to make life easier!

[@samuelcardenas4968]

Dude I've own this tool for two yrs. Dude for two yrs I been doing it wrong. Life just got easier. Thank you.

[@leahcoker6456]

My husband was in a horrible accident and now I’m doing all yard work! Ran out of string last night! My first video I watched was yours thank goodness ❤ you just saved me from lots os frustration 😂

[@robertbrown327]

Man I was doing it wrong dude! I was cussing and getting so frustrated. This is why it helps to read the instructions that come with things. 😂😂

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, I did the same thing bro

[@roscokillian]

Man! The instructions are terrible.

[@mitchlindeman7033]

Yeah I thought the instructions did suck big time!

[@neiltsubota]

This instruction don't say anything about "wind" or "load".

[@gregsb3454]

Just spent 30min loading it the pull apart way ….RTFM ….Thanks

[@bengone63]

im crying right now. thank you. my life is so much easier

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha, awesome 👊

[@kwamelarkins9499]

Yoo fr fr

[@MrRoyalFreak]

bingo im dead so easy

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha

[@MrRoyalFreak]

I was yelling and cursing at this thing like I've loaded a trimmer a million times but this was not working then I was like wtf go watch youtube you got to be missing something so thank you this trimmer is even more amazing than I already thought well u till it ran out of string that is

[@prplsmrf2368]

Thanks for the quick efficient video! One thing I'd like to add: When I took off the cap to remove the bit of old string, I noticed some dried ruffage hanging from the inside of it. I simply twisted it back and forth and tapped it out until it was cleaned out. I'm sure this is helpful for keeping the cap spinning properly for the quick load. I look forward to watching more of your videos, have a wonderful day 😊

[@JFK-2939]

After much confusion, once again 3 minutes on KZbin with my favorite Tool Review Guy solves the problem. And no more carb problems with the Milwaukee M18 Fuel electric trimmer…thank God!

[@johnrobbins4500]

This is the video I’ve needed! THANK YOU for the simple and direct explanation!

[@2x2is22]

The guys at Milwaukee should get a nobel prize for this kinda innovation

[@CoreytheMechanic]

Stihl has been doing this for years nothing new.

[@Methodical2]

Echo has been doing this for years too

[@enjay8950]

I've had a "speedfeed" head on mine for 12 years at least

[@Barbaratio]

Echo should get the nobel prize, they've had the speed feed for longer.

[@everbeenzen]

​@@Barbaratioyeah but echo is the reason I now have this one. It sucks. I had a Husqvarna that I regret selling but it was the best ever. Light, powerful, well balanced, starts easily, never have me any problems. Echo hard to start and feels underpowered, even after changing all the parts and modifying the exhaust.

[@lol-nw3ln]

This Video is the BEST! All these years and I just learned the Right way. This Guy did the video as though I was doing it my self. Easy to Understand, Love the Comedy too. It's Like he's in your Garage showing Ya. 5 STAR Video.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks brother 👊👊👊

[@mitchlindeman7033]

Thanks this is perfect- the WIND isn’t whistling in the trees and you’re not about to WIND me up with an average presentation. Great and helpful vid.

[@siouxbilanji3280]

You're right I was doing it wrong! Can't wait to try this method, looks so much easier. Thanks!!!

[@siouxbilanji3280]

Yup, tried your method. Soooooo much easier. Thanks again!

[@frontlinediy1814]

Made life with my milwaukee survivable brother. I was cursing this things existence lol. Thanks for reading the owners manual and making a video for it man 👍

[@patkuhl]

i was so angry at my new trimmer. thinking how has milwaukee not solved my dads lawn care gripe. happy again. thanks dude!

[@peterjubb5395]

That is such an easy way to restring your trimmer. Thank you so much. I wish that I had found your video earlier. Great job.

[@juangonzophx]

Lol I'm laughing so hard at myself because u have taken all this stress I go through everytime. Thxs for giving up the secret lol. You relief maybe 95% of the viewers on here life for showing this to us.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha, awesomeness 👌

[@fillintheblankstare]

Yes the secret..the secret that is in the manual if you would have only taken the time to read it. That being said, I am here because I am in the same boat lmao! So easy to reload now that I know how to do I correctly haha

[@MikeyJ686]

I love my Milwaukee trimmer, just loaded mine for the 1st time an hour ago and it's almost TOOOOOOO DAMN EASY....if you are looking to buy a weed whacker, then spend the extra 100 or 150 and buy this one. U will never have to put a spark plug, oil or gas in it. It goes thru batteries kinda fast so I would recommend buying a bigger battery or extra battery, like an 8.0 or bigger if u can. But seriously Milwaukee just makes amazing products, that's why they cost a bit more because they last and they r so user friendly. This is not a paid endorsement, I just love this company and it's products.😎

[@Adri_drinks_wtr2]

I couldn’t have said it better. I swear I’m not paid by them or am a bot lol I love milwaukee with all my heart. I’ve made a living off the m18 and some m12 line of tools so I basically owe them my life. Lol

[@papaechotango1950]

My husband is so much happier now that we watched this...Thanks!!!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, awesome!!!

[@tomshenton6911]

Lifesaver 😂. I've been moaning about this trimmer ever since I got it and thinking how have they design something so bad. As soon as you said in the video "you're doing it wrong dude" I knew what you were going to say, worked a treat. Thank you.

[@patbuss2052]

Wow,ty..im a women and just bought a new Milwaukee and bought string for it..i used to take those apart and thread them..ugh what a job..not anymore you saved the day and my precious time..wait till my boyfriend finds out i put this on without his helpbir anyone else .ty much!!!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha, awesome 👊👊👊

[@alenesybrant4657]

Oh man hallelujah!!! My husband left town without stringing my weed eater - yes my weed eater not his lol. So I went to KZbin and wow did it myself in about five minutes. Thank you thank you. And now I can show him because he’s been taking off the cap too.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesomeness 👊 👌 👏

[@davidchandler55]

Omg man, you have NO IDEA how frustrated i was trying to feed this damn line through! You're a life saver!! 👍🙏🤜🤛

Bro this was such awesome advice!! Surprised the official Milwaukee tutorial is MUCH more complicated than this! Lol

[@howardryburn9646]

Once more, I avoided reading a manual and saved much time for it . Thanks for your yard hack !

[@codychiasson1958]

This is the greatest thing I’ve learned in a long time! Thank you so much!

[@stevecorcoran9869]

Great video for those who were too thick headed to actually read the 4 page quick start manual that came with the trimmer that explains how to do this.

[@aswithinsowithout]

I’m so happy! My first time needing to change the line and I found your video. Winning!! Thank you!!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha, awesome!!!!

[@brandobitcoin630]

That is so awesome!!! I have been having such a difficult time…trying to put the line on like other weed trimmers. Thank you!!!

[@J_Beazy223]

Thank for showing us. I just got mine today and replaced it with my pivotrim before ever using it. Has a great system and gives 6 strings of cutting. Plus you can add rino blades that quick connect in.

[@PamPerkins-v6l]

I want to thank you again! I watch you every time I need to restring!!!!! Thanks!!

[@terrymccormick611]

Thank you for this. Right out of the box it wasn’t working. I checked the rod and made sure the attachment was slid back all the way and it’s working like a champ!

[@doom-driveneap4569]

Ty so much!!! Just bought this trimmer today and I had no idea to use it

Thank you brother, I work for 2 hours and nothing and I saw your video thank you very much you are amazing

Amazing. I have had my Milwaukee trimmer for six plus years. I hated having to reload the string cuz I was doing it wrong!! Thank you bunches.

[@GRR20223]

Brother you saved this brand new trimmer from being thrown away in the middle of this Texas heat! Milwaukee needs to award you for this video!!!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha, so glad it helped Gabriel!!! 👊👊👍

[@graeme6667]

Are you unable to read the manual, or just too stupid to download one from Milwaukee's web site?

[@Lordac]

Thank you for this video!!!! Removed the line and did it properly, and wow, what a difference!

[@Lisa-ox6yu]

Why does the instruction booklet not tell you this? We've been so close to throwing our line trimmer across the room in frustration. This video has saved us about 40 mins in angry time trying to reload that thing...thank-you

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha, thank Ms for the comment Lisa!

[@bobbysifuentes]

Very useful!! This sure beats "ol school" ways of installing line

[@Novice2Expert]

I feel so dumb 😮all these years I wasted…KZbin university taught me in 3 minutes 🤦🏾 thx bro!

[@ChuckZeppelin]

LOL! Now I know what I was doing wrong. I was winding when I should have been wīnding! Good video. Straight to the point.

[@JW-fd8sh]

Thank you for teaching us that simple trick! Our Tool I.Q. jumped by a point! You're a hero!

[@donniemccrorie19]

I think some of the complaints are about the line not wanting to go through the second hole. If your line has a pretty good bend to it, it wants to curve inside the head instead of coming out the other side. And fyi, Milwaukee started issuing the easy refill head on the original(non-qikloc).

[@puentenyc]

just right on man. i was bitching and moaning at trying to get more line out this morning... you have saved me!

[@ToolReviewZone]

[@orangejuli07]

If you're anywhere around 6' tall, use your full arm-span, pull out about 2x full arm-spans of string, then cut it, feed that amount into the head. For most of the quick feed trimmer heads, it's the same situation and that's about as much as they take.

[@lp9092]

Ty. Was wondering about that.
