Thanks a bunch Tim.

[@oztonka]

Love the pup, is she an Italian or British whippet

[@InterTay]

That’s the ultimate “edging”

[@zaineridling]

I'd have to say, this is the best trimmer tutorial on all of KZbin. Thanks!

[@turfandtools]

Glad you think so!

[@Zelzie]

I agree!

[@user-bu8qx9wr3y]

I agree!

[@normalisoverrated]

I also agree!

[@projectshop7207]

Agreed. Saved me time and thank you for that.

[@NickyAnderson-ve8tk]

Finally, I've found someone who can explain how to edge properly with great advice. Thank you!

[@jeremym4104]

This is the best guide and video to line trimming on the internet! Two things that always elude me is how to reload those spools and how to bump out extra line. Thanks!

[@asapcanada]

I've been struggling with winding the line for years. This is a life saver!

[@vickiemorris6849]

I bet that overgrowth was driving you batty until you could do this video! Thank you! As a 70 yo 1st time home owner, I struggled the past few years trying to figure this out. I have watched you lawn fellas and learned a lot, but this was the 'icing on the cake'! I look forward to using your tips this spring!

[@turfandtools]

Good luck!

[@sandrasmith6986]

Awesome tutorial, never knew how to load the string nor properly edge my yard correctly. Now feel confident that I can do both. Thanks so much!😊

[@charportman5695]

I’ve spent many hours looking for someone who could explain how to use the machine, how it functions, and the way to make the edge look beautiful. Thank you!

[@bevgoss5113]

Loved Maggie getting the zoomies. She just wants to be close to her dad. Great tips Tim ❤️🐾🖖

[@turfandtools]

Check out her channel @maggiewalks

[@turfandtools]

Hopefully this helps some of you!

[@lisawaters2585]

Lol, this will never help me do edging-with-the-weed-whacker! But your vids are magnificent!! Your sense of humor is sp!

[@andrewramsay4832]

Are you dumb

[@jkee6146]

Beautiful dog!! You can tell she's loves being a prop in the video! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@maseyez1]

Thank you so very much. Your tutorials are easy to follow. I am a recently widowed 60+ and my dear late husbands stihl petrol tools were to heavy. So I have started purchasing battery powered RYOBI tools to carry on maintaining our lovely yard he created. I am loving it. Honouring him.🙂

[@glendab3840]

I'm in the same position and I'm also replacing all the petrol tools with Ryobi battery powered tools that I can actually manage. This is the best tutorial to explain whipper snippering I've seen. Looking forward to trying all the tips so I might actually be able to do it.

[@painetdldy]

i admire your restraint in letting the edges grow over lol

[@mathumphreys]

FINALLY!! I've been looking for a video on this for years. For decades I've had trouble with the upside down edge trimming breaking off the line inside the head - finally a decent explanation what's happening. Thanks so much for the advice, I can't wait to try this weekend! Best line trimming video on YT!

[@na-chomama9773]

Omg. Thank you so much. I can’t believe how many videos I have watched on weed eaters and I finally learned the easiest way to string my POS trimmer. I ruined my extension cord today, so will have to try it out as soon as I go and replace it. Considering just getting a battery operated one at this point.

[@tafari4988]

Love you man for this....thanks alot I live in jamaica 🇯🇲 and decided to go in this business as a part time job , because my security work is not paying me enough money to take care of my family..and I learn alot .I am confident know to start my new side job..thank you so much..love you man

[@matthewgleeson2121]

Love the dog!

[@beryllovett9153]

Thanks Tim! Now I feel more confident to trim in my daughter's garden.

[@juliemartell1071]

This was an awesome tutorial that I have seen for trimmers. Thank you very much!

[@AdventureTimMedia]

Good job mate. I seem to spend half my time re-threading the damn thing every time I use my line trimmer so i really appreciate your tips.

[@MrInternationalSound]

Your lifesaver I was struggling with the line now I know what I was doing wrong lol thank you

[@joemccready2726]

Special appearance from "Santas Little helper"

[@networkn]

Thanks. I learned I could use my whipper Snipper upside down to do edges.

[@lauralake7430]

Very helpful. Also, Maggie is So Cute!

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Aha!! Just try to only use the tip of the string…that is exactly what I needed to hear and exactly why I've always had problems. THANK YOU Tim. That little Maggie is SO adorable & she sure loves her daddy!

[@annaprigliano221]

I have the 20 volt Ryobi trimmer and now I know how to replace the string without taking it apart. Thank you for all your tips. It is great information and I love watching you work. Next you need to video: tips on edger's so I can see what I'm doing wrong there LOL. Thanks again.

[@johnlatham7092]

Thanks Tim, great video. Everyone is an expert until they see your vid ! I'm only 72 but learnt so much. I have a Ryobi trimmer but it's a two-stroke. Love it. I bought it maybe 6 years ago. I finally found out what that circular piece of yellow plastic with the handle that came with it is for ... it's to wind on the bloody plastic line !! Just as well I didn't throw it away ! It was always a pain winding the line before now it will be so much easier. Anway, well done Tim, you now have a new subscriber.

[@painetdldy]

idk why, but the backwards ballet is what fascinated me with this youtube genre to begin with: blademate! then tim! i think it's especially satisfying when sped up

[@davouchi1]

"Gently put in in there, just the tip." That's what she said. 😂

[@debc2596]

I’ve watched your lawn care channel for awhile love your edging techniques and the crisp edges. And now the tool Chanel is great. Thank you keep up the great work!!

[@gsbedfordshire591]

Brilliant tutorials, expertly filmed and presented with loads of tips and advice. Please could I get Maggie's autograph? What a show stopper!!!! Talk about a Happy Pup, well looked after and loved. Not to mention all the love she gives. Thanks for the great clips. Gary, Biggleswade, UK.

[@sparrow-iu6xb]

Best tutorial i have seen on whipper snippering i have never used one before but after watching this tutorial made everything clear and straight forward thanks for sharing 👍 love your videos

[@turfandtools]

I’m glad it helped!

[@user-tu4gw8qc6s]

Somebody who knows what they are talking about and well presented, where have you been all my life? Cheers for the advice.

[@gavintruman2654]

Thanks Tim that will help me a lot as I have the same whipper snipper, so thanks for the advice and keep doing great work for ur community and people in need, your a life saver in yard maintenance

[@dzgknw]

Real practical advice and tutorial guide. Best one I've seen for the whipper snipper. You sir have earnt a subscriber.

[@sunglee2048]

You helped answer a lot of questions I've had on using the weed trimmer. Thanks!

[@YSA920]

After years of frustration with the old style line trimmers bought the same Ryobi line trimmer as in this video and also the Ryobi lawn edger. Edger had the 4.0mah battery and chargers, trimmer was skin only. Cannot believe after 3/4 hour trimming have not had to touch the line. The old school ones I had here you’d be lucky to get a few feet done before stopping to re feed line. Thanks for your tips about using tip of the line.

[@SuperBonefinger]

Very helpful and informative. I had trouble threading the line and also never knew that the edger can be used vertical like that. Now my edges look great!

[@bettiewatson2949]

Wow , fantastic video! I’ve learned so much from this! Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this ❤️

[@ezaezaeza3]

Main points for those watching: Just use the tip, pull it out more then once a month and don’t get your knob caught 😂👌🏻 Love your videos Tim! Thank you ☺️

[@wendykakogawa1861]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My FIL has that and we had to put it together for him. My co-worker insists that we get one that's gas powered instead of Battery, but I'm not comfortable storing gas at home; neither is my husband. Thank you for explaining how to change out the line - others do it so fast that I don't see it very well. And not all workers are helpful.

[@harmankarkuki1045]

You just made me buy a ryobi whipper snipper that’s battery operated , I have the petrol one but it doesn’t start when I need it to start thanks mate for the great tip love your work

[@mini_steve]

I have also have a Ryobi 2 stroke line trimmer (7-8 years now) and mine always starts easily with 4 to 6 pulls cold. Once or twice a year it takes about 3 million, that's when I think I should go battery. But my yards far too big regarding battery run time.

[@elainewelsh9998]

Walking backwards was a game changer for me. Look forward to seeing how the longer line works for me. 😊👍

[@amdspansion]

Thank you… Thank you… Thank you… This was a very helpful tutorial on using a weed eater… I own an old school electric trimmer (2012 vintage) it’s heavy but I’ll use it to learn how to use this tool….

[@usavul]

This video was a god send. My line had all snuck into the the cylinder and i had no idea how to get it out. Thanks a lot Tim!

[@valdimarjonsson7911]

Nice one Tim, helped me figure out what I wasn’t getting right, particularly positioning myself with respect to the head to cop less debris in the face 😂

[@jamesfrench7299]

The video I've been looking for. Sage easy to follow advice. Can't wait to trim after this.

[@DC_Warden]

Great video, subbed. The little Iggy having a swipe at the trimmer at 7:20 was hilarious.

[@waelhamdan6966]

I have just applied what I learned from your video, works magic , great tutorial

[@crystalwoods334]

Like @painetdldy I love watching you do your "trimmer two-step". It's hypnotic. I live in a unit under strata so there is no logical reason for me to watch this video, but I did anyway, and got my Tim's two-step fix as bonus 😁

[@skartimusprime4779]

Dogs just love you doing yard work hey. I have to suppress my dog so she doesn't hurt herself because she goes crazy with zoomies 😂 she's almost 9 though and has arthritis so I have to save her from herself

[@billmago7991]

Whippet ... whippet good... Thanks for this ...i suck at whipping snipping

[@krisring3945]

"Alot of people say "dont do to that" "....subscribed

[@cesarvarela5438]

As a guy who constantly(my job) trims grass 15x taller than this(truly overgrown monstrosities that require an industrial/contractor level string trimmer/weed whacker, in a tropical place) I concur with everything said on this video

[@bonesx165]

Thanks for a really detailed video mate. I’ve downsized properties over the years, and keeping my 2stroke line trimmer serviced etc has become a pain, especially as my mower is 4 stroke, so I’ve got to keep different fuels as well… Will definitely look at the ryobi as a replacement option now. I always keep on top of my edges, so certainly don’t need commercial-type power. Good stuff, and yes, yes, yes on eye protection, every. single. time!!!

[@Beer_Dad1975]

My old 2 stroke needed the carb rebuilding last year, like you my mower is 4 stroke - and moved to an electric chainsaw some years ago when I melted the piston on my 2 stroke - so I thought "f*ck this, I'm going full electric" - after doing some research I decided the 18v Ryobi, same model he uses here, would do for me (I already have a huge pile of Ryobi stuff so just needed the skin) - no regrets, it's a great tool for my property (around 800 sq. meters but mostly taken up with pool and deck - all of which needs edging regularly though) - anyway I would say go for it, it's a very capable and great quality tool for the price.

[@tasty8186]

Pretty impressed Maggie never went for a face lick once, that's a well behaved pup!

[@rosalindnatoli8542]

Hi, I am in my late 60s I had a lot of difficulty using mine, mainly because its has an extension cord. I do agree it requires muscle . My advice to any buyer is watch this channel first and get it right the first time. Well done for the coverage. I am now better equipped to at least thread the spool correctly.

[@jenbenn5278]

Just bought this machine, thank you very much

[@lyns.651]

Tim did you steal the wife's sunglasses?😉 LMAO😂 I love how Maggie wants her camera time too. She is adorable!! Great tips my favorite expert lawn detailer!!❤❤❤👍✌🇺🇸

[@petefrayne6074]

7:22. Awesome cameo! Go Maggie!

[@kirstykeyworth6355]

Thank you. I've been struggling to get my edges the way I want them. Now I can havena go at setting them on the weekend 😊

[@jenhuddo9391]

[@jamesryan2084]

Good on you mate! I enjoyed the whippet comic relief too. Whipper-snipper vs Whippet-snipper! 😆

[@TheJoshnic]

Great video mate, just picked up the same Ryobi trimmer the other day really like it, your video really helped me. Appreciate it
