You are the Bob Ross of lawn maintenance.

[@sarahjanewills712]

Having got crazily stressed trying on my own and getting it wrong many times, your calm voice relaxed me totally and I achieved the perfect re-wound strimmer spool! Thank you so much ☺

[@backyardiganatheart367]

you got a whole Mr Rogers type of Bob Ross Bob Vila thing going on with your voice cool! thanks for the tips🙂👍

[@tonymorgan2813]

Great thorough instructions and an even better video, Black and Decker needs to sign you to a contract to do their instructional videos!!!

[@jl386]

My yard has been going crazy w/all this rain lately and all I have is a weed eater and w/prices now...the line I used to get went from $5 to $12 so now, I was looking for a how to video. After several "meh" ones I'm glad I ran into yours. Thanks for the thorough explanation. I was about to sub but I noticed this was your last video in 4 years.

[@mariailsahernandez2682]

Thanks for your patient voice! Yep, I got the hang of it. Now we can "roll your own"!

[@kellyredard1688]

I saw a video where the guy used his drill to wind it kind of like a singer bobbin. He didn't show exactly how to secure it in the beginning so thank you for that.

[@fonziefrank609]

I felt like this was a "Bob Ross" tutorial😃! "Put the pretty green line, in the hole! Ever so gently"!!! 😂.....Thank you for taking your time to share! Works Great, save yourself some 💰!!!

[@gramps5157]

I was thinking Mr. Rogers. lol

[@Aarielle111]

You're so patient...and all this time you are so calm...soothing

[@sigsauer5620]

"A happy little trimmer line lives right here. If you're sitting out on your porch watching the birds as you wind this you should be careful they don't mistake the line for a nice skinny worm".... Nice video :)

[@grumps75]

I enjoyed your ASMR-like presentation. Very relaxing. Probably more relaxing than actually rewinding the spool.

[@suegunther9388]

Thanks for not skipping over any details. I needed to see and hear the whole procedure. 😁🤸‍♀️

[@SH7771-w2r]

Yours is the best video The Black & Decker video didn't even put it in the hole correctly so you could bend it over like you showed. Kudos

[@mspanesar6684]

Brilliant video tutorial and you have a very soothing voice! I have always struggled with replenishing the line, but feel confident after watching you demonstrate 😊👏👏

[@misstbutterfly883]

I feel slightly hypnotized... 😅 hopefully I remember it all! Thanks for this 👍

[@chelseamaupin2118]

Amazing!! Bob Ross of trimmer lines. Made it an art form

[@youuuknooow7699]

The new role is over 600ft. Looks like your weekend is spent. Thanks again!

[@cliffdariff74]

....it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood 😄

[@MrMackAtack]

If I could I surely would! Haaa

[@Whiteshrew]

Totally! We need this kindness during simple training as adults. I also thought of Mr. R!

[@debbierizzo9588]

My thoughts exactly as I was watching!

[@highwaystar8310]

Thank you I didn’t realize you could layer the string. Now I have more line on hand!

[@IeronDavis]

Oh wow. Awesome video. I’ve been having trouble for years and now I don’t have to worry about wasting line. Thank you!

[@bubbathebulldog3809]

Thanks. I know now why my trimmer line keeps flying off. Thanks. Nice conversation you got going there too as you wind and wind. Good job making a trimmer line video worth watching, not an easy task!

[@saxetexas]

Thank you for the instructions...(to me) you sound like the Bob Ross of Black & Decker line replacement...you need to be on PBS!

[@LizzyTheVampireSlayer]

Coming here to make the same comment!

[@cantstopcooking929]

I came to make the same comment also.

[@debrafguyer6030]

À a

[@silvianeumann7348]

EXCELLENT DESCRIPTION...the sad part is I don't have those skills in my hands...I will try to do it myself.

[@nathanaelvictor1313]

Agreed!! That is so true lol

[@eddzubak8671]

I measure out several 30’ lengths of string and wrap them back onto an empty string roll for storage . I find that this saves the most time when I sit down and do multiple spools .

[@erwin643]

Just what I needed today. Was given a B&D Weed Eater and guess what? The line ran out today. The Wife had some old spare line laying around, so I thought I'd call up the Operator (The Matrix) and learn how to refill one of these. Thanks!

[@kaytaylor5558]

Thankyou sooo much. Instructions were clear and concise...and I could see clearly as you worked up close!!!!!!

[@Belfastboi]

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to post this. I thought I’d have to buy a new strimmer but it had just come undone inside. Brilliant!

[@johnknight8435]

The best! Thank you! When I saw 14 minutes I looked for other (shorter) videos but came back to this. Glad I did! So thorough! No fast forwarding. The last step was crucial for me: how to hold the line after you finish winding it. Really appreciated the comments about sore thumb muscles too. Excellent!

[@debraseguin18]

I had to rewatch this two times your soothing voice had me falling asleep around the 7 minute mark lol . Tomorrow I’ll be trying this on my machine! Thanks🤓

[@Cherylllm]

Laughingggggggggggggggggggggggg I thought of MR. Rogers.

[@debraseguin18]

Yup that sounds right, neighbour😊

[@srikanthbadhapuri4143]

My wife thought the same..asked me if I am watching a video on how to get sleep 💤

[@debraseguin18]

Worked just fine on my trimmer👍 thank you😀

[@wakee7]

So relaxing to hear your voice. i might overdub it with some chill-out down-tempo music

[@rebeccamartinez7053]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial on loading line! The manufacturer's instructions were useless and I bet intentional inorder to sell ready made spools.

[@mike1950gm]

Many thanks.......I would just wrap the line any old which way, and of course I would have feeding problems.....like you say keep it tight and smooth no endless overlaps.

[@glowdog6321]

Using your instructions I have successfully restrung my B & D line trimmer several times. It's a little tedious, however, considering the savings I can put up with it. I noticed that it helps to pare down the line at its end with a utility knife in order to first insert it into the small hole. I would recommend purchasing some extra pre-strung spools to have on hand when the original spool becomes worn and bites the dust. In addition I would suggest purchasing a spare orange cap with spring. Some ebay sellers have a six pack of the black pre-strung spools with an orange cap and spring included. Thanks for posting this. Very helpful.

[@slitchina01]

Lol

[@DanJostMusic]

Very informative and also relaxing to listen to! I agree with the person who commented this was like listening to Bob Ross. Thanks for the great video!

[@torahsingingwoman]

Thank-you! After watching four other videos, finally one that makes sense and shows the close-ups I needed.

[@MrAnimal1971]

Thanks for the video. I'm chilling and winding my trimmer line now. Good times.

[@DemonofMistify]

I have a similar spool and could not find a video on it. This helped a lot and helped me understand which hole to put it in.

[@heatherclark3591]

Excellent... I didn't know I could do more than one row..had to keep changing it!!!

[@marylhere]

You must’ve watched that other guy’s shorter video. It works but what a pain.

[@saininar]

Hhhh, great video and I like your patience and sense of humour buddy. You are so amazing. Keep on posting such useful videos.

[@lisablandford8033]

Your voice is so calm and soothing I almost fell asleep Lol. You could probably make a ton of money recording and selling audio children's bedtime stories zzzzzzzzzz.........

[@richarddavenport2962]

Nice job. What an awesome voice. Very calming like Bob Ross!

[@1lynnlarson]

I thought the same thing!

[@bengeorge2]

Thank you for this video. I was able to follow the instructions and it worked perfectly. The line itself is so durable.

[@davebeck3157]

We love you, Mister Rogers.

[@bobwerda5048]

My thought exactly!

[@blackmirror5559]

. That was so calming and therapeutic. Many thanks .

[@davemaz9275]

What a great instructional video from Mr. Rogers!

[@cdeedrick]

Your voice is so soothing. Thanks for this video. I'm gonna give it a try.

[@858brooklyn]

This guy is the Bob Ross of weed whacking

[@Skittlesskittles-om6hp]

Great explanation and great job...THANK YOU...STRAIGHT TO THE POINT....🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@davidmalik9821]

Well done and very informative accept I have a GH3000 B&D. However, creating the spool is much the same but the beginning is of course different for my machine.

[@thecrescentking5000]

Feel the burn! Thanks for this tutorial :)

[@tonycoln4079]

And now your ready to trim that happy little tree.

[@apgx6032]

Excellant. Thank you for the step by step guide. Appreciated.

[@2010PinkWarrior]

Thank you Mr Rogers! You are a great teacher

[@annabetancourt5272]

I'm so grateful for your help in instructing so well on rewinding trimmer. Looks like I completed the winding successfully, hopefully it will fit well and my weeding project is on its way. Thank you.

[@redredwine1277]

Wow! That’s spectacular,, thanks for sharing, very helpful info

[@princessgaia702]

Thank you so much! Great teaching❤

[@ZRXBILL]

You can buy aftermarket ones on Amazon with 30 ft. of line for about $2 a piece when you buy 6 to 10 spools. I got 8 spools with a new cap and spring for $19 and they work very well.

[@ralphtamez5492]

Excellent Mr. Rodgers

[@danielcoleman4807]

Thanks friend, I also like to roll my own. This video is very helpful.

[@michaelryan9259]

This was informative. I think this could have been trimmed from 2:15 - 11:15 and gotten the same instruction. Point got across. Thank you!

[@ScottKIlb66]

Good instructions. Thanks for sharing.

[@Olokunful]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering why it wasn't feeding automatically after restringing the spool. And your voice is so cozy. You're the Bob Ross of weed eaters lol.

[@leonlee81]

Thank you! Very nice instructions.

[@viviangarner719]

Thank you. Made it clear as a bell!

[@sufficientconclusion]

Soothing AND funny. Lost the tension a few times laughing.

[@TiptronicSS]

Look at the birds or something. This is some first class ASMR 😂

[@esn711]

Are you related to Bob Ross.. so like that fella..you are very relaxing to listen to and thorough with the explanation of threading the spool, I really enjoy this video thank you so much!

[@anitasoltwedel4691]

I find it quite easy to rewind mine. I have my husband do it..

[@jameelhafeez9796]

A big thankyou and just subscribed you channel.

[@sendeluhoo]

Thank you for this!

[@annieyue9184]

Thank you very much for the clear instruction and explanations. You are making it like an art piece of work! Perfect!

[@heatherdawesswartz1427]

All the "how to" videos ive watched that just annoyed the hell out of me cuz they just yapped and yapped and went on and on for 30 mins or more. Just for the actual info to literally be only 2 mins long. And then i find your video... I could listen to you talk about nothing aaallll day. You would do extremely well doing hypnosis audios. Youre voice and speech are incredibly hypnotic. ❤️

[@altheasmith-mcneil4242]

Thank you! Your voice reminds me of Bob Ross. 😁

[@BoobyToy]

I wanted to re-order the 3 pack that I ordered from Amazon in July of 2017, In which I paid $10.65. Now the price of it as of May 2019.....$18.45!!! WTF, I'll be re-stringer mine from now on.

[@cfx3]

I bought a new spool for the second hand GL330 I bought but then had to manually unwind and rewind the spool that was on it anyway cause it turned out to be stuck... atleast it works now.

[@johnnykurplutzo6789]

"Bob Ross" of trimmer line

[@roszee1]

Great for falling to sleep......Sorry i'm going out and buy the refill

[@JeremyCioppa]

Ive had this trimmer for years and i had no idea you could even buy pre strung spools like this, like i assumed if i wanted a replacement that it would come pre strung, but i couldnt fathom buying spools in bulk.

[@anoldladi]

i have 3 b&d string trimmers. The motors burn out really fast. Once you get into some tall grass you'll start to smell an oily firey odor, then you see smoke coming out of the motor housing. I'm going to see if they sell replacement motors. The third one is now starting to burn and I just paid the Lowes bill with the trimmer purchase last week.

[@paddyeason9677]

Is this an ASMR video? If so - it works.

[@lisajennette5692]

I did it. Thanks dad 😁

[@youuuknooow7699]

'you know how kids are' LOL! Yeah the ones I know would want $1 X10. Haha, Thanks for the share.

[@cherylknechtmunoz5813]

so relaxing. lol. I was just wrapping mine like an anarchist - all messy. I will do better now. :)

[@daiduongtranvu7714]

I tried the ebay, amazon prestrung spool and none works with my trimmer. I have to do it the hard way you did and man, I can tell you it's tedious as hell. Your thumb will probably appreciate (or not) the exercise!!! And as you said DON'T LET IT SLIP OUT OF YOUR HAND! I almost finished once and accidentally drop it and all the bad words I know just came out of my mouth!!!

[@mikelarry5230]

thank you MR.Rogers

[@krampuskardashian5890]

This is ASMR for dads.

[@marylandry440]

Thank you for showing how to do this. But I can't get my spool line holder out of the plastic holder. There must be a trick to it, no wonder I can't get my line to stay in the spool.

[@murinaali8309]

Thank you so much

[@glenhalstead2301]

Good video. For people complaining about you should have edited it, I disagree. Was good to watch it "soup to nuts". You can speed up the video if you like to watch it faster to save time if you like. So about how many "rows" until it is full? About 5? Thanks for the video!

[@scstudios8]

tape the feed mechanism. The B&D goes thru string about 100x faster than it should.

[@green1160]

Relaxing!

[@mrdave6396]

Unintentional ASMR

[@darnellwarrior3310]

Help. I cannot get the spool out of the orange holder. It's a B and D GH3000 type1 7.5A

[@carolemyers7432]

When you pop it into the machine to use and thread it through the outside hole do you take it out of the last”holding spot” where it wouldn’t unravel? Im a newbie

[@skymiller530]

This was unintentional ASMR. You should start another ASMR channel. You almost sounded exactly like Mr. Rodgers. 😂

[@sparkfire1223]

What do you do when the afs system starts to let all its line out? if there a fix for that?

[@lugo175]

thx for the tips awesome vide, are you related to mr rogers by any chance you made me feel so comfortable and safe here LOL thx

[@ab-kn1gg]

Thanks!

[@janvanhaecke9584]

thank you !!

[@kinglord5429]

How does this Automatic Feed Spool AFS thing work? I respooled mine and it shout out line like no tomorrow

[@m.licata7434]

You're da Best!!!! Thank You ever so much for the super great explanation!!
