That’s the ultimate “edging”

[@smeech5177]

Not trying to trauma dump. But dude not having a dad growing up really puts a pebble in the shit that matters and I just got a house. I really appreciate this video man 🤙🏾🤙🏾 best one out there

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

👍🏻

[@mymai5859]

It's OK bro, many of us had fathers & as much as my Dad knew - he was terrible at so many things: couldn't mow a tidy lawn; bodged illegal electrical fittings in our house; accidentally had geese he was transporting, fall out of their crates. They escaped to a park reserve & he couldn't round them up. 30yrs later they've become a pest population; built a carport lower than the roof heights of house & garage so we hit our heads & with no guttering the run/off rain created a water cave. If my siblings & I have the urge for DIY- we think of what our father would've done & do the opposite.

[@MiVidaBellisima]

Same. What makes it worse is my sperm donor of a father lives in the same city as me. I tried to give him another chance but he betrayed me again for the last time of many so he’s dead to me now. But it’s really tough not having a father, he was never in my life much so you’d think I would be numb and used to it by now.

[@Jordz97]

@@MiVidaBellisima Damn. sorry brother that sounds so shitty if you're in Australia and want to go for a beer im more than down. take care mate

[@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!

[@LisavanDam-p6q]

I agree!

[@normalisoverrated]

I also agree!

[@projectshop7207]

Agreed. Saved me time and thank you for that.

[@erinmulholland9301]

As a weed eater rookie I’m so glad I found this video, thanks Tim! Maggie is such a cute wee doggo.

[@NickyAnderson-ve8tk]

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

[@sking3492]

I always wondered how or where you attach that winder to wind in the line...🙄

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!😊

[@nofapSally]

Congrats on the new home.

[@bevgoss5113]

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

[@turfandtools]

Check out her channel @maggiewalks

[@jkee6146]

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

[@gibbousmoon35]

Excellent tutorial! Really useful guidance. Also, I really like how you emphasize that no one is perfect and take time to encourage people to get past any mistakes and know that they will improve.

[@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!

[@painetdldy]

i admire your restraint in letting the edges grow over lol

[@networkn]

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

[@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.

[@TheWW101]

Perfect explanation and demonstration, thank you! For the first time in 20 years, I have my first home with a garden. I was using my whipper snipper yesterday and realised I'd forgotten so many tips on how best to use it and wishing there was someone to edumacate me - voila! here's your fab tutorial! I'm heading to the garden as we speak, thanks :)

[@jamiehogue6026]

This is one of the best DIY tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thank you!!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@matthewgleeson2121]

Love the dog!

[@asapcanada]

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

[@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.

[@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 ☺️

[@joshua-raymcnee2273]

Hey mate ya probably won’t read this but I just wanted to say cheers mate tried out a few of your tips today and different tricks and I don’t think my hard has ever looked as “crispy” ever before aye . Saved so much time , line and Hassals and all edges are. Clean as so yeah cheers bloke

[@DC_Warden]

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

[@lauralake7430]

Very helpful. Also, Maggie is So Cute!

[@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.

[@TheRealWillM]

Didn't even get to the number one tip and just learnt you can take those heads apart, I thought they were disposable...glad I found this video

[@JaspreetSingh-je3bb]

Thank you. Definitely the best tutorial on using string trimmer.

[@michaelriggall6862]

Thankyou ! An absolute model for what an instructional video should be - and what a beautiful assistant you have.

[@dzgknw]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@IanRobinson-y4o]

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

[@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.

[@joemccready2726]

[@jamesfrench7299]

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

[@shazzm9252]

Useful. As a woman i was never taught how to do edging and i find this handy as a single woman responsible for my own gardening.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I appreciate the detailed explanation. Far too often that isn’t the case with so many ‘instructional’ vids. The dog was also very amusing.

[@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.

[@mr.e574]

Thank you. Very understandable tutorial. Avid DIYer here, just bought a black & decker trimmer. Now I’m feeling more confident. Love the dog lol even tho I’m not really a pet person

[@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 😂

[@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!

[@elainewelsh9998]

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

[@hughjazz64]

This demo at 5:03 has made my strumming life ten times easier. Thanks so much

[@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 😁

[@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.

[@jamesryan2084]

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

[@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!!❤❤❤👍✌🇺🇸

[@billmago7991]

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

[@blethal7434]

Cheers for the vid mate. Great tutorial, definitely learned a lot and now have a christmas present idea to mention to the missus ( a new whipper snipper😂) love my ryobi tools. Gained a new subscriber today mate. Cheers B from Darwin NT

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@MrInternationalSound]

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

[@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

[@bettiewatson2949]

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

[@fatherburning358]

Mate. Just got my hands on a petrol ryobi with attachments. Its changed my life....seriously 💪👍😎

[@tanya_1969]

Excellent. I have just bought that exact Whipper Snipper that also goes with my Ryobi Mower. That tutorial really helped. Thankyou 😊

[@DePariah]

I didn’t know speed feed heads were a thing, and now I want one. Thanks for the video haha, very informative

[@skartimus]

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

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!

[@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….

It was this time on this very day, I have been winding the string all wrong, thank you good sir, I have now adopted this into my line trimmer and it's way faster than doing it, one side at a time.🤦😂

[@kraziecatclady]

Great tips. I hate weed eating and my yard shows it. The grass by my chainlink fence has become really unruly. Hopefully this video will help me out.

These are all great tips for DIY weekend warriors.

[@janyshendrickson3833]

I've got the Ego Self-feed String Trimmer. I struggle with 1 side of the string breaking off which means because there is no line coming out 1 side, I have to take the head off and re-feed the string. A huge pain in the patutti. Never thought about how much line should make contact with the grass. I am doing the lawn today, I'll try your tip about ensuring I'm using "just the tip" of the line and see if that solves my issue. Thanks for this👍

[@danmx5]

Great video! Beautiful dog. Tha ks for putting it up, good to see Ryobi performs well.

[@tylerdwyer7620]

Thia was great to watch, i never used a snipper before, and my yard looks terrible because it has overgrown, even after mowing its bad
