I am glad it worked for you! My hope in doing this video was that if I could save even one person a little money and trouble, it would be worth the post. Thanks for your comment!
I recently replaced the shaft that holds the spool as well as the plastic guard that prevents rocks and debris from flying around. When the trigger switch failed, I knew it must be a simple fix. Your video was perfect! I’m sure I would have come up with a different solution, but when I saw how easy your idea was, I went for it and was back in action in less than 30 minutes. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment! As I have said to others, having saved even one person from having to buy a new trimmer makes the posting of this video worthwhile. I am glad it helped!
Is there a similar video or videos for a Black and Decker LST522 trimmer? I fixed the switch on mine, but when I went to reassemble it, the internal mechanism that is used to allow me to rotate the trimmer 180 degrees popped out. When I reassembled it, this feature no longer works. There is also a small half-square plastic part that snaps onto the shaft of the parts inside the handle, which I believe is intended to create a rotational stop at 180 degrees for the 2 head positions. But when it was installed, it prevented me from closing the handle completely to reassemble it. I could not find the proper orientation of this piece to allow me to reassemble. I left it out. Could use a photo of how the spring and the plastic part are supposed to be oriented to allow me to reassemble the handle AND keep the head rotational feature functional. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! It's comments like this that make me glad I did the video. I am glad it is saving people the time and money of buying a new one! My own trimmer is still going strong as well!
have a Black and Decker Grasshog cord trimmer and It doesnt have a whole lot of power. I took it apart and cleaned all the grass and stuff wrapped around it but I still don't have a whole lot of power. Anyone with any tips on how to save it pls help.
from looking at his hands and arm i just had hope he did`nt turn into a WEREWOLF before it ended HAHAHAHA, thanks for the post i just pick one of these up the other week and i got the heads up if i run into this. THX BRO.
Last step very diffivult two people better. make sure tool is in right side. If someone holds it open its much easier. Do not take on bigger stems it will ruin tool.
Thanks.....exactly what happened to mine ,saved me 60 bucks!

what size/lenth of screw
I think it was a #8, either 3/4 inch or 1 inch. Either way it was shortened in the final step with the cutoff tool to fit.
Do you know if I can use star shaped trimmer line to rewind a spool? Thanks!
Not sure on that one.
How do you disassemble it?
The first two minutes of the video show you exactly how to do it. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver.

The switch on mine fails with regularity. I would not buy this product again.
What I learned from the video is black and decker ought to recall their faulty switch mechanism. What garbage is this!😢
