    You have 10 inch zip ties on the weed wacker and you're cutting right next to the concrete. Back off it's the edge of the string that does the work.

  • @nyckoluz
    @nyckoluz 2 роки тому +15

    I'm sure the reason why you're having a hard time with the string is because of the type of head you're using. I would use a head that requires winding the string around a spool. Like the Echo SpeedFeed Head, you feed a string through until both sides have equal lengths and twist the head! It would last a couple of days.

  • @richard8211

    Hey bro, good idea, I think it would have worked if you ran the zip tie through the channels and zipped them with the resilient side facing out. You had them sideways through the holes you drilled, that's why they kept snapping.

    i now use zip ties and regular trimmer string and run them both together..great combo and one set will usually last the entire yard..i cut a section of trimmer string and knot it so it will stay in place...no more winding a mess of string and beating my trimmer to death trying to get it to come out.

  • @wayneclu91

    Did this several years ago had the same results also I would not recommend using steel cable & bought a 4 string aftermarket trimmer head from Home Depo & I some time double up on Trimmer line meaning 2 string lines per outlet I think the trimmer head was about $20 I got really tired of winding in spool type Toro or Ryobi. This method is a lot faster & a person can precut several of them in few minutes place in pockets & reload when required.

  • @halfdollar86
    @halfdollar86 6 років тому +18

    If you value you time........ go buy a real trimmer. Red max, stihl, husqvarna, echo etc etc. or replace the head with one that feeds string. The secret is good string. I recommend Red max string. Very good. I think what would help you is keep it out of the concrete. Even the toughest won’t hold up too long to fence or concrete

    @alan30189 2 роки тому +5

    Too funny! The problem is, those zip ties don’t flex the way they need to flex, so instead they just break off. Try getting a “Speedfeed 400” for your trimmer. That seems to be the way to go. If it will adapt to your line trimmer, it’s easy peazy to put line in.

    OK, that hillbilly hustle reminds me of something, 1970's cartoons? Someone mentioned wire, that'll be great when that breaks off.... get some of the thickest string, and get as far away from what you want to cut so the tips are cutting it. Even good strings will fail quickly trying to cut up right against concrete or fencing.

    What about an appropriate diameter steel cable instead of zip tie or plastic trimmer line?. Do what you did with the hole and zip tie but just flair one end of each steel cable so it cannot slip out the hole then it's easy to replace once it does wear down. I really think this is a winner. I'm going to try this as I'm tired of messing with my trimmer head also..poison ivy, oak etc have to wash my hands after I mess with the head every time..this would stop that plus all the buying of expensive string.

    I had a head that was made in a small town ; Cleavland Ga. They've long since been out of business and the factory now does something else. Any whooo the head was made of Teflon plastic ,like a solid 3 inch round shaft with slots milled in for to have a hole and hard pin to be pressed thru. A short piece of chainsaw chain was attached to the pressed pin. I had a benchtop deal to add links of chainsaw chain to it as they would where away. It was the very best one I ever had but it would knick a pair of good leather boots when a link would break off.

    I find broken 120v weed wackers thrown out and grab them and most time its the string basket is gone so I tie the sting on to basket and it works. Also save all your line in a box out of the sun and soak the rolls of line them in water for a day and then use round line not special shape and it works with 300 feet of cord, dont leave cord out side in the sun roll up when your done.
