All weed wackers are different, but it's the same basic concept to change the line. For my craftsman C3 19.2 weed eater you first remove the red cover, then take out the spool. Any string line will work, just insert the end of the line to the groove and wrap onto the spool. Then replace the spool and feed the line through the hole. Put the cap back on and you are done. Should take about 2 minutes.
Some weedeaters have double string and some people decide to replace the line with zip ties.

When I push the line in the groove what does it lock onto? Mine has the same thing but idk where it locks onto
@@SamoanSituation It should be a friction fit. Then twisting the line in the other direction keeps it in place.
UA-cam is amazing for people who didn't have dads growing up
Facts
Yeah it's always nice to see that people try & help others with the simpler things irl on this website.
Not everybody's dad knows this kind of stuff either, my mom taught me everything.
I had a dad growing up my parent's are even still together but he worked so much he was barely home and didn't teach me things or when he was home didn't have the patience. So I had to figure things out. I am glad for UA-cam these days. A long time ago you either had to figure it out or go out there and try and if u mess up you hope a neighbor comes and shows you lol
Yes! And for women whose dads or husbands knew handy homeowner skills but didn't share the knowledge with their children or wives 😁. I didn't grow up with a dad around and my husband didn't enjoy teaching stuff like how to use a saw, a drill, fix a leaky sink, or change the weed eater string. Once I became a single mom it was UA-cam that has shown me everything! Now I love building projects and fixing things 👍🙂
Finally a man who doesn't make the huge assumption that a woman has a pioneer spirit and is technically-minded like a man. That we have no clue why a notch is here, and a push button is there! Thanks a bunch, young man ❤-- from this almost 70 year old grandma!.
🎉finally found some helpful information after several of us not able to figure it out and a lot of useless videos that skip this step. So thank you!
Yes, I'm so excited.. I finally see simple and clear.. I split my knee wide open last summer, trying to figure this out. much Appreciation ❤ accidently hit the power button ... 😅
THANK YOU!! The one you were using is exactly like the one I need to put a new weed wacker line in
Best explain on ever!!!! Simplicity is the key.
Everyone in my family complains about doing this I'm surprised how easy it looks
Thanks for this simple and quick explanation.
Thank you!!!! I keep "breaking" ours and my boyfriend has to "fix it" and it takes him forever to do it. Now I don't have to depend on anyone.
Dude, you saved my life! Thank you for this video!!
Excellent explanation, thanks!
Quick to the point. If it isn't red buttons is gonna be some sort of equivalent. I got everything I needed in 28 seconds on this vid.
Thank you for the help
Thanks it helped a lot
Omg thank you!!
Bought a new weed eater an kept wondering why the line kept just coming out constantly… come to find out the manufacture spooled the line but didn’t bother to lock it.. now I know lol
Awesome video, thanks.
Thank you ❤️🔥
If you're an ✨ independent girlie✨ like me and you said "Hmm, I don't have a spool..." Check your yard babe. Found mine in the grass after the weeds tried to win today 🤣
I needed this today, going to check my yard😅
Thank you!!
Brilliant, thank you!
How do you remove this particular trimmer head all together. I want to replace it with a blade so I don’t have to keep winding string.
I don't know. Maybe there's hidden screws or something? Or you might have to break some plastic pieces?
Thanks
Why did you use only one hole?
thanks
THANK YOU!1
Thank you soon helpful
👍👍👍👏👏👏 excellent
Thank you soo much!! My father passed away and he taught me everything!!! Except this... 👍🙂😇
Same..my dad passed and here I am on you tube. Sorry for your loss
@@janaboone1769 thank u sorry for your loss too.
@@janaboone1769 Is this the meeting of dad passings? Mine did too. I was so frustrated at the line that kept coming undone...that little hole at the bottom I would have never found.
Hope you guys are doing good
@@mrfriske seems like all our dads forgot to teach us this 😂 yes that hole was a game changer. Some days are better than others.
My father passed away too; here for the same reason. Sorry for y’all loss!
Believe it or not at 50 yrs old with autism this video taught me how to do this simple task. Thank you for the simplicity of the tutorial
We single girls appreciate you the most 😁❤🧡💚💖🙏🏼
Single girls 🫱🏼🫲🏽 boys without fathers
Ty!!!! Single mom cutting my grass for the first time and my weed eater ran out of the line. Eeek! This was helpful!
Someone else has always done the Weedwhacker work, but now I find myself having to do it. You’ve given me so much confidence… I’ve always been afraid of this little machine, but today I actually added string all by myself!😂❤
Same here likewise. I'm a female with little knowledge on hardware tools. I'm motivated by lifehacks & how-to's! 🙏
Thank you for the tutorial. From a single woman homeowner 😀
Same! 😭
I know this comment is 8 months old, but I love the Key and Peele reference. 😂 “Dee Nyce” I assume your real name is Denise lol.
@@slurpcurry4253 close, it's Deidra. I love that skit 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this short and simple viedo my husband passed away so whenever I run into a problem I look it up. This is very helpful ❤
Thank you from a single mom.
Thanks Dave. An old lady here, I had to replace the string and YOU made it easy as pie! Thanks again
Thank you so much for making this video! Your instruction is very clear and easy to follow.
After I wrap the line around the thing, it poofs out and is loose from the reel. Not sure what i'm doing wrong.
at 1:02 mine had that little slot to lock the line in place at one end.
Then you hold it as you feed the other end of the line through the hole at 1:36
Thank you so much for sharing!!!!! Straight to the point!!!!! I appreciate you. Wish I could like your video a hundred times.
Thank you for this great video. I'm taking over many of my husband's tasks and couldn't remember how to wind the string. Just completed the job!!! Have a great summer!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I have been outside doing yard work and ran out of string for my weed eater. Came inside and clicked on your video. So easy and your directions were very helpful! Thanks so much!
The most concise and informative video! I really like that you show the still pics as you're explaining. Thanks so much!
Thanks, have to do this tomorrow... Simple, straight to it instructions.... Thank you.
0:01 your weed whacker is exactly the same as mine so don't assume lol
You got the cheap version it’s different trust me lol
Hey I just wanted to tell you I watched 6 or 7 videos and you were so better at giving useful instructions, showing the intricate details of the inside and no one else does that. Just wanted let you know. keep up the useful videos. Score is 10 out of 10 if we were keeping score. Thanks
Thank you very much!! I have the exact same spool which is not very popular nowadays. The tricky part is using the groove to lock the string before rewinding the string. I explored a while until I found this video. I like your style that getting to the work right away. This video is gold!
Perfect exactly like our Craftsman "classic" gives it new life.
I watched a couple videos. Yours was the best by far! Thank you:))
Get a second spool or cartridge, load it and set it aside. Not only will you have one ready to go when you need it, but the line will relax in that winding direction and be easier to use. After finishing your yard trim, load up the empty spool so it can be ready for whenever you need it.
My spool has two holes, one on each side and has two levels inside the spool. Not sure how to work it
😮 You are the absolute best. Quick and easy to follow. Subscribed right away. Thanks for the video ❤ 💙
THANK YOU SO MUCH. IVE BEEN SO CONFUSED, this seriously helps so much.
Simple and to the point, thank you
You’re a great teacher, this was perfect. Thank you!
You shouldn't have put that 1-2 minute time limit in there! Brand newbie here😂. It's like when people give directions to a location, and they say, You can't miss it! Ugh!! 😂
I'm hoping you might still monitor this video or maybe someone else might know the answer and will comment. So I do exactly that but the string come out way too fast and jams up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it? TIA
Thank you so much for these videos. My father never taught me this stuff or would give up easily when I didn't pick things up right away and these have helped tremendously in learning a lot of stuff I feel like should've already known.

Thx for the information. May I ask, what trimmer head and line manufacturer, thickness are folks finding most durable and practical for value for efficiency, general landscaping???
Thank you very much! I'm first timer trying to replace that originally came with the trimmer.
Thank you Dave! The instructions are ridiculously tiny with 10 or 12 numbers and arrows and I certainly did not get these instructions from the diagram! Appreciate!
Needed to replace the string on my trimmer and the hardware store didn't have a replacement spool. I bought line instead and this was the perfect video for showing how to reload the spool. Thank you!
Thank you!!! I’ve been fighting with this thing all evening and have been doing it so wrong 😂
Dang n I’m over here thinking I’m the only single mom doing this but that string hurts like a mother but tanks 😂helped a lot who needs men lol jk
Muchas graciasssss!!!
Me salvaste, porque tengo una infracción del condominio donde vivo por mi hierba alta
Thank you so much. Mine is so old. Cap kept coming off and line unwinding. I'm not hearing it click when putting spool in. I think it's time for a new one.
I never understood where to "lock" the line in - I was trying those different size notches on the top ... it worked but not great! Thanks!
Thank you so much. Now I know why my line keeps coming off. I've been threading it wrong all this time. 😲😲
Thank you! I was weed wacking today & ran out of line and had no idea how to refill or change the spool. I sure appreciate this video. 😊
Yeah feeding the lines for the two hole opening is a pain in the butt they should make all of them where it's a half opening where you can just snap it in place on there because this here is a pain in the butt you spend more time putting it back on because it doesn't always want to work
Yeah, my dad is an alcoholic loser. He left when I was 10. Thanks for this...
I do exactly that. It unwinds and has gotten wrapped around the outside. I love my weed eater but I almost walked it to the dumpster. Ugh.
Ty soooo much. Most videos start with the cap off. But I needed to know how to get the cap off. Ty Thank You. 😊
Spraying some WD-40 on it afterwards helps prevent it from snagging halfway through a job.
I don't know what it is but this is one thing parents do not want to teach their kids and I still do not know why to this day. My wife and I both were never taught this growing up. Taught how to operate a weed eater but never how to put the string in
Thanks for the help! You explained everything perfectly! 😊
There's only one thing I want to know, I had only mentioned this in my own home and I live alone with a Great Pyrenees who is one of the few joys of my life and now all of a sudden I am getting recommendations on how to feed my weed eater line into my weed eater. Can anybody say surveillance in every digital Way? This is just playing creepy at this point
Alexa?
This didn't fucking help all you did was show what to do but the goddamn thing won't come out
I have never done it ..
I was on the road as a trucker.. so wife had to.
But this morning .. she claim she has used it so she to does not kno
Mine is not like that one . So we try but it did not work
Excellent video thanks for sharing this one. Now I think I can do this and get to work.
Okay I'm doing it right, my weed eater is just a POS.
Fabulous and super clear instructions. I think I've got it.
Very convenient that we have very similar weed wackers
This made everything so easy to understand. Really appreciate it.
Hi Dave, my problem is the string gets short very fast and no matter how many times I hit the trimmer on the ground the string never gets longer and I have to do it manually, by taking the cover out and redo it and pull the string longer. And that happens every 3 minutes of trimming and it is so annoying.. Should I add some lubricant into the string in order to rotate smoothly? By the way my trimmer is Electric. Thanks Dave. Badr
Mine has a little button at 2:04 that you can extend the line..
Quick question so I been using .065 string and the string just rips fast when edging so i was wondering if i can use .080 string.
Probably. I would think that any size will work.
Hello, I've followed this but the strimmer just keeps cutting off the line
Anyone else have been doing two lines (instead of one) for years? 😂
Thank you man for this great video! It got me back right.
I followed these steps and everytime I start my trimmer my line unravels. I can't figure out why. I've done all the steps properly. Any ideas?
I don't know.
Maybe the string is a smaller size and slipping out of the slot.
Maybe duct tape it in?
Maybe twist the line in the other direction?
Very well explained, no hablo Ingles y lo entendi, Tank you Dave.
Rather easy looool
BEST VIDEO EVER FOR A SINGLE WOMAN ....THX.
Wow 😮 this was a great help thanks so much for sharing! 🤞🏾
My line keeps pulling back inside. No idea why
BUT THAT'S A SINGLE LINE WACKER. MINE HAS TWO LINES TO DOUBLE WACK.
Thank you very much so Shorter video and pretty clear man
TY been having lot of issues with the line cutting off while it’s going and I have to manually adjust the line back out. Any tips on why that might be? I have the same toro weed eater
I don't know, mine does that too sometimes. Like every 5 minutes I have to let more line out
Thank you for this video that wasn't bogged down by an intro clip, discussion of why you're doing this video, etc. Great and straightforward, I really appreciate that!
