Ryobi Expand It 40V Electric String Trimmer Line Replacement

Stringing the head begins at 3:00 - In this video I'll be replacing the Spiral Heavy Duty co-extruded trimmer line in a Ryobi 40 volt Electric String Trimmer. FYI, apparently it's pronounced Ree - obi.

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. kzbin.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

[@user-yk2mf5ge5o]

Thank you. Mine just ran out of line and I was terrized on what it might take to rewire this. Wow never thought it could be this easy. I did what you showed and it worked perfectly. My line didnt have any markings on it but all you do is keep feeding it until both ends are equal length then start turning the knob. PS Since your giving kudos to Ryobi I should mention for others, my string trimmer is a replacement for a gas powered Poulan and I finally got tired to try and get started, mix gas, oil the whole thing. The reason Ryobi is they do accept other attachements. I had an edger, a string trimmer and a blower and they all work with it so the new electric trimmer for 189 at homey depot was worth it since I had all the other tools already. When I finally give in to the electric mower it will be a Ryobi as well because the batteries are the exact same for the mower as the trimmer. Again thanks for the help.

[@accidental_relevance]

Good information, thanks for sharing that. I knew some Homelite products would interchange. It just makes sense to keep using things you already have on hand.

[@accidental_relevance]

@@halliewhite4893 I just replaced the line for the second time and still had trouble feeding it through the head. You just have to work with it until the wire is nice and straight so it can go straight though.

[@SteveinJersey1234]

Excellent video. A couple of additional tips that might come in handy. The markings referred to in the video are for Ryobi's pre-cut line, which is basically 16 feet, the optimal length. It's easier to just spool the line through and make sure the two ends are of equal length. And in the future, it's more cost effective to buy uncut line. Just pull off 16 feet. Second, and this is possibly much more helpful. if you find - as I did this morning - that you cannot get the line to spool through the holes on both sides, or that it's very difficult to wind the line onto the spool, it's very possible that there is still line inside the housing that is obstructing the new line. You can remove the top cap by pressing in on the tabs (doesn't take much pressure) and it will pop off. Remove any loose line hiding inside and then reassemble (very easy to do). You'll find that the line spools through with no problem now. And the entire assembly will also turn more smoothly, making it super simple to wind the line around the internal spool.

[@accidental_relevance]

Thank you. Good advice. I made a video on how to disassemble the head which makes a lot of this much clearer. I'm going to get it edited and uploaded as soon as I can recover from my struggle with Covid 19.

I just take the line which is curved and run is over a marker or something to reverse the bend. 1st shot every time. Mine came with .080 line. Still great line. This thing is worth every penny. The battery never wants to die. I put mine in storage for about a year. Took it out and used it. Still strong after that.

[@accidental_relevance]

[@GeneL56]

Thanks for the video, kept me from having to read the directions. Yep, the line should thread thru without too much difficulty. I did have to twist it a bit to get the proper alignment. Instead of using the pre-cut lengths of line, if you are using bulk line, per the directions: do not load more than 10' (feet) because if you do, the line may jam-up.

[@accidental_relevance]

I did finally find the winding tool that's included with the trimmer, and several people have commented that it makes winding the cord easier. And extra trim line was also included with it, so I didn't really need to buy more line yet. I got to get more organized.

[@AiBilly]

Bought these lines yesterday from Home Depot, same prize as amazon and had them the same day . Worked like a charm. All my old trimmers i had to spend more time unscrewing the line holder and trying to feed it in. This makes it so easy .

[@accidental_relevance]

That line is tuff too. Makes a good clean cut. I wish I would have pointed out in this video that it's the very tip of the line does the best cutting.

[@pdegregorio]

Thanks! This video shows how easy it can be to replace the line and help me a lot (I had taken the spool apart for no reason). On my pre-cut line the middle is "marked" by a kind of crimping or flattening of the line in two places about the width of the spool itself.

[@accidental_relevance]

Thanks for sharing that. I'm using the bulk roll right now but I'll be sure and look for those marks next time I use the precut.

[@l.gabriellearboleda8495]

This is the most complicated and hard string loading procedure I have ever had to figure out. Maybe this video will help me.

[@accidental_relevance]

I hope it does. Just try to straighten the wire out as flat as possible and stab it straight through after you line up the arrows on the head. It might take a few tries. The green wrench will help wind it.

[@semlohde1]

This is edited from a bad comment. I enjoyed the accurate video- but had difficulty getting the head back on from last year. Arthritis makes pushing that head down very painful. I followed your directions and it loaded easily enough. The red line is cheap and breaks quickly, I have the same package you showed and once the head arrows aligned I could load the line. Winding was painful, I couldn't find the winding tool. All in all the ryobi worked well. Battery is heavy for me at 75, but it sure beats yanking that cord. Over and over and over. Thanks for the video.

[@accidental_relevance]

I have a touch of the arthritis myself. I find putting some lube on the mating surfaces makes the cap easier to remove and replace. But the easiest way is to load it without removing the cap if possible.

[@semlohde1]

@Accidental Relevance I got it going. I was tired, but the video got me headed in the right direction..

[@The_Lone_Baker]

At first I was wondering why the video seemed to deliberately cut out when you couldn’t get the string to go through and then it magically went through after the skip. But I decided to try one more time and despite failing all previous attempts, the string fed through easily! Can’t believe how much time I wasted on this! And as an added bonus I now know how to properly advance the string which was something I was doing entirely wrong previously. Thank you for the video. Showing you struggling helped me realize mine wasn’t faulty somehow.

[@accidental_relevance]

I glad it worked out. I'm about to make a follow up video on dissembling the head and showing why it's a little tricky to get it to feed sometimes. If you rotate the head from the lock logo to the arrow and pull the bottom off, you'll see that the line holes going into the spool have to line up vertically as well as horizontally. So just moving the bump knob up and down a little can make the difference in the line going right through and having trouble.

[@accidental_relevance]

Here's a video that shows more on how it works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHbZgJuMnNKgjrM

[@user-yk2mf5ge5o]

I must have been lucky - too bad I wasnt in Vegas, but it went right through first time. Knock on wood

[@Ariev1967]

Lining up the arrows is the part you don't want to miss. I was almost surprised when it threaded correctly. I tried a few times without aligning the head properly and even had disassembled the cap a few times needlessly. The plastic cap turning tool does make winding quicker.

[@accidental_relevance]

Yes, sometimes it feeds right through, other times not. I think you have to hold your tongue just right lol

[@gracewest5504]

Thanks! I really needed to see this video. My line ran out and there were no instructions on how to restring it. This morning will now be a busy day with the Ryobi.

[@cliftoncain9671]

Dude! Your style and simplicity is crazy funny but also extremely useful. I was reading the instructions and thought, WTF! My arrow line in the bumper is worn off. Haha! But I just rotated it until it lined up so I could feed the line straight thru. Like you, I tried one side and then the other. The second try worked perfectly just like your video instructions. I appreciate the knowledge you shared.

[@accidental_relevance]

I think the reason it is hard to feed and then suddenly goes through easily has to do with the alignment holes that allow the line to pass through the spool. If you remove the bottom of the head to expose the spool you can see what I mean. The holes have to line up both horizontally and vertically. So just bumping the knob slightly can make it feed through when it's stubborn.

Definitely clearer instructions than Ryobi and other videos I've seen. You Definitely want to get that .095. Mine came with .080 and it wasn't great, so I ordered one that a yard guy I know likes. Unfortunately, I ordered the .105 model instead. I can't remember if I just wasn't paying attention or didn't check what this model could handle. It worked a lot better than the .080, but I noticed I wasn't getting the speed I wanted and things got caught up more. Then I realized I had the wrong one and went and got a good .095 from my local store.

[@accidental_relevance]

I've heard that using too large a line can ruin a line trimmer. I've never tried it myself. I did use smaller line with my old corded line trimmer and it seemed to run a little faster.

[@SonicBoomC98]

@@accidental_relevance yeah it did a much better job with the smaller line. It worked like it was supposed to though I was not satisfied with the durability of the line. I'm going to keep the larger one for if I ever get a trimmer that can handle it, but I'm going to get the brand I ordered before just in the proper size

[@KyleStenson]

Rotating the bump knob on mine doesn't "catch" the string and feed it in. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@prestonb1655]

Just look through the hole you're feeding it in and you can see light on the other side, shove the line in then once even on each side then you start cranking it(remember to have the arrows lined up)

[@accidental_relevance]

The string should be fed through the head until the line is the same length on both sides. So if you can mount the head like I have in a vise or get someone to hold it for ya, you can just walk back with both ends of the line until the two ends of the line meet and are the same length. If you wind it then there should be no way that it wouldn't grab the line and pull it in from both sides. Hope this helps.

[@Tuffeclipse]

It was time to buy more cutting line so this time I bought the bulk roll of the .092 extruded line instead of the precut ones. I did not see any indication on the line as to where the proper place to cut it was. So I just used my 16ft garage door as measuring device by clamping one end of the line to the door and cutting it at the other end. This length seems to be working fine, although I did have to manually advance the line a few times right after loading the line this time.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You made my day better as well.

[@michaelwinslow3666]

Very clear, thank you!

[@LewisShieldsUS]

This close to Texas it's a We Deeter, or a Strang Trammer. Great presentation, many thanks.

[@accidental_relevance]

String does seem like an odd description doesn't it? Line or wire makes more sense to me.

[@SonicBoomC98]

And I use more line than most too. I often want mine slightly longer than usual

[@javieraguirre6408]

Omg! I could not stop laughing at your "expand it"

[@accidental_relevance]

Thank you. I hope it brightened your day a little. I did a video before this one about the Expand it feature when using this head with the rotor tiller attachment, but never mentioned it in that video. So I tried to make up for it in this one 😁

[@pastorlarrycano7059]

Life saving vid lol I took it all apart trying to load wire until I saw this! Thx 🙏🏼

[@accidental_relevance]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

I just bought Model RY 15526 which includes a line reload Winding tool that easily attaches to the bump head.

[@accidental_relevance]

Yeah, I should have used the tool. It was hanging on the wall out in the garage with three new loads of line that came with the product, somehow I just couldn't see it. I really didn't need to buy new line.

[@charliecramp]

The tool is so you can spin it faster. I had the same problem 😕

[@accidental_relevance]

The tool is definitely an advantage if you have one. I just have a real problem finding things like that when I need them.

[@faxmen09]

The tool you didn't show is actually to help with spooling the line on, like a crank. Anyway thanks for the video.

[@accidental_relevance]

I personally just find the tool awkward to use. I’d rather just turn it like a knob so I can push down on it a little more.

[@faxmen09]

@@accidental_relevance Got it. I haven't done it yet so I have no comparison. After I do it I'll check back and let you know what I think.

[@gnarmarmilla]

Thank you very much my friend. God bless you

[@marsh8081]

At 3:06 you were struggling to get the string through but then you were able to get the string through. How did you do this? I’m having trouble getting the string all the way through. I also think I may have some string jammed in there. Thanks.

[@accidental_relevance]

I just kept straightening the wire and feeding it in just like I had been and suddenly it went through. Sometimes using the other end of the string makes it go through better

[@accidental_relevance]

Here's a new video that may make it easier: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHbZgJuMnNKgjrM

[@frannie3852]

I loved your sound effects 😂

[@accidental_relevance]

Thank you 🥰 I enjoyed making them.

[@skater123256]

Super helpful my dude thanks, also nice sound effects

[@kenmorris5055]

I have the same , Mine had line broke off inside, to take the spool apart squeeze the 2 tabs on the spool and it will allow you to dig out the old line, make sure everything goes back the same way.

[@cclark5928]

How did you get the spool open to get the line out that is clogged inside???

[@anthonyha8350]

Thanks for the helpful vid! Back to trimming

[@234sportstalk]

Thanks Bro you helped me figure this task out!!!! 😂😂

[@mikeracine3132]

The green wrench u speak about is for winding the spool. Use it instead of your hands. Works either way but the spanner tool is faster... Just FYI lol The 2 push in buttons u talk about will allow u to remove the spindle for cleaning etc. Snaps off then right back on after cleaning..
