I remember meeting you at the Ralph's in Inglewood and now I'm a home owner and your videos are definitely helping me out. This is all sonew to me but m glad I have your videos.
Happy to hear that. Congratulations!!!
If I may add a suggestion but before I do that let me explain a very common mistake most people make when mowing their lawn, now as with any lawn mower be it walk behind or riding, there is an adjustment on the wheels and on the tractor you have a handle that adjusts the mowing height, as a rule I always set my mowing height to 3-4", never any lower during the mowing season, now let me explain why I do this, #1 raising the height to your mower or tractor deck allows for a more lush thick healthy lawn that will keep the sun away from your lawns roots, the sun will kill your lawn if you mow lower than 3-4", I always use the #4 setting and every year I get people stopping asking how I get my lawn looking so beautiful, now doing this is not the end of the work involved in caring for your lawn, I also apply the Walmart cheap Sta Green fertilizer twice a year, now this won't work for every lawn as I live in the Deep South where the temperatures get above 3 digits daily and I must water my lawn daily, In my neck of the woods we call cutting your grass to the ground Scalping, contrary to what you may have been told about the benefits of cutting your grass less if you scalp your lawn let's just say "Somebody done told you wrong", I hope this helps someone have a more beautiful lawn.
family's forcing me to cut the grass but ive never used one of these in my life! thanks so much, you're a life saver 🙏🏻
Glad it helped.

I’m proud of you for starting a business at 14. You will be successful just don’t give up. Glad this helped.
So proud of you for taking the time & initiative to fully educate yourself on this! I'm 26 and about to hold a weed eater for the FIRST time.
Practice makes perfect, if you put your heart into it, you're gonna do amazing!
thank you so much for this video! my husband is sick and sleeping so i wanted to surprise him and i just mowed my lawn for the first time and now i’m getting ready to whipper snip!😂
Love that. You’re welcome.
Just wanted to thank you for this informative video as this was my very first time to use a weedeater on my own so I had to turn to UA-cam for instruction and your video covered everything I needed to operate. Informative and through.
Thank you for the knowledge shared. 🙏😉👌🏽.
Anytime. Glad it helped.
I echo Amy's comments and also thank you for this informative video!
me too!!!
Just came here from your crimper/wire cutter tool vid and you've got a new subscriber. Its like having a cool neighbour who drops little nuggets of knowledge when you're having a chat over the garden fence 😂
Haha. For sure.
Thank you for making this video. My dad taught me how to mow the lawn when I was single digits but I never learned how to weed eat or edge. Now I’m in charge of my own lawn and I want it to look nice!! Now to get rid of the ants 😭
Glad it helped. Pesky ants.
this is a really good tutorial especially for a beginner like me. (If there are any other beginners out there, I would recommend this video, it's very informative and goes over safety too.)
Thank you, glad it helped.
I start a job tomorrow and need to understand the basics of a weed eater. This video was very helpful thanks

Lol. You’ll be fine.
I trust this guy cause he’s a brother
👍 thanks again!! :)
Glad it helped.
I’m 42 years old and I’ve used lawn mowers, tractors, chainsaws and more but never a weed eater. I live in the woods and simply never had a reason to have all the grass around something like a post perfectly trimmed. But here we are and Monday morning I’m going to work with my friend all week to run a weed eater. I hope I don’t embarrass myself lol!
Lol. You won’t. It’s easy.
Thank you for that Easy breakdown.. how do you clear away the cut grass? Will a leaf blower also have a vacuum effect? I'm new to yards And would appreciate helpful tips because I have and HOA and want to avoid fines.
Some leaf blowers have a vacuum function.
@@Caliber8Tools thanks for the information.. I pray it looks good afterwards 🤭
Good informative video, thank you! I am looking for videos to send my husband, he's never had to deal with what I got going on out here. You should try weed eating this damn jungle I got to deal with! It is TOUGH!
😂I hear ya.
Thank you very much for the information. Trying to buy a Weed Whacker. Please suggest which one to buy. (Battery operated)
Glad it helped. You’re welcome.
This is a great how to! Will it be ok to reference this video to my students in my lawnpreneur bootcamp? If we could chat offline. I have a couple questions for you or email.
Glad it helped. Contact us at info@caliber8.com
I do have some questions though; do you weed whack or mow first? Can weed whacking be done with an edger? And do you need to run the weed whacker over the ENTIRE lawn, or just a bit?
Weed whack first. Better to use a weed wacker over an edger, because you can use a wacker to edge as well. Use it to hit high weeds over the entire lawn.
tried to use your tips today, never again just got fired thanks alot raul
Sorry to hear that.
@@Caliber8Tools just messing wit u
When you bump it to feed more string, do you do it on the concrete or…
You can but that would degrade the tool faster. You can bump it on the grass.
Thank you
Any way to do it without getting covered in grass? I've tried different angles . Is there a trick to it?
Good question. Weed eaters sometimes have shields or string covers for that. They’re called grass deflectors.
@@Caliber8Tools yeah I have that and still get pelted. And I notice most professionals don't even use one.
@@Ch33no look at your trimmer from the operating position. The cutting head rotates anticlockwise. If you use the left side of the head for cutting, the grass and debris will be flung toward you by the rotating string/blade. If you use the right side the debris will be flung ahead of you. Position yourself accordingly and you will see the difference yourself.
Always frustrating to load new string. I bought a special large capacity head, supposed to be easy and it still frustrates.
Really? interesting.
I needed this a few months ago. I bought a battery powered one. It gave me nothing but trouble.
They could be a hassle. Especially when replacing the string.
@@Caliber8Tools The string gave my son several problems. It was annoying
Been there.
@@Caliber8Tools 😏
Did you mean accessorize?
*Watches video. Take weed whacker to lawn. Begin edging lawn next to concrete driveway. Instant nylon string break. Throws weed whacker back into the garage, pulls out Sawzall and trim it this way lol.
Well, that’s one way to do it.
❤ like your voice and your beautiful bald head too❤
Get you speed feed head. And save so much time
