Replaced the string using this video and it felt so good I had to go out and trim for the heck of it. Neighbors got the dorky electric trimmers. Had to wake the neighborhood up with my gas trimmer 👍
I had to come check this out. This way came to me in a dream last night. Been taken that cap off for 20 years. Never thought there was another way. Man have I been stupid.
The R is what goes into the head facing up the L should be facing the ground when in motion that way when you load the trimmer line it will hold the line correctly and release when bumped I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
It all depends on your weed trimmer make and model and size trimmer line but I usually run 10 ft to 20 ft of line on my weed trimmer. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
If the string outside of the trimmer head gets too short, it can return back into the trimmer head. It cloud be that you may have it strung incorrectly causing this issue, make sure you have the right size trimmer line for your string trimmer.
First make sure you do have string inside the trimmer head and that it is not melted together or twisted around the spool in a manner that stops more from being dispensed. Next ensure you have wound the trimmer string in the proper manner and direction that your specific trimmer head calls for. Make sure you have the right size trimmer line if your trimmer line is too big it could get stuck. I hope this answers your question.
A perfect How-To video: Everything you need and nothing you don't in under 60 seconds. Outstanding!

U R Great to ask. Thank You, kindly !! peace
Excellent. Thank you.
You are welcome!
What side does the L and R go 🤔
The R is what goes into the head facing up the L should be facing the ground when in motion that way when you load the trimmer line it will hold the line correctly and release when bumped I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

How much line? 2ft, 6ft or 20ft?
It all depends on your weed trimmer make and model and size trimmer line but I usually run 10 ft to 20 ft of line on my weed trimmer. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
I was today years old when I found out how wrong I was doing this 😂😂😂😂
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks buddy
Happy to help
Excellent ❤
Thanks 😊
I took the cap off the last time. The entire string came flying out instantly
Be careful stay safe
@@Outdoor-Handyman-Adventures you as well
Wow thanks
Rotate the top, hold the bottom. It dont get wrapped around your hand that way 👍
Good tip! Thanks
Thank you good sir
You're welcome
I have a Kobalt you do it the same way.
Is that all it will hold? Ive been thinking about switching to echo or husq but I’ve used stihl for so long
It should hold 20 ft of trimmer line
Does this cause tangling or does this work greatly for usage of both holes out of the weed eater ?
It works great and no tangling
When I bump my head, the string recracts rather than extends. Any idea what is wrong?
If the string outside of the trimmer head gets too short, it can return back into the trimmer head. It cloud be that you may have it strung incorrectly causing this issue, make sure you have the right size trimmer line for your string trimmer.
How to use the bumper? Do you bump the trimmer or it adjusts automatically?
I just bump it on the ground and the trimmer line goes out just Like most weed trimmers
👍👍👍
Don't trun the head
Turn the part behind the head so you don't tangle your trim line
Thanks brother, if it wasn’t for you, I would have destroyed my weedeater head lol 😂
Glad I could help
you telling me for the last 40 years I been doing this wrong!?
This only works for the speed feed trimmer heads
i think i have an echo head on a bolens bl110. is that even possible? all the videos of bl110 show the head that has a cap screw on it
Sounds like someone has replaced the head on your weed eater at some point
Can you tell me how to edge with this thing i cant see where im going when im facing a certain way
I'll be making a video soon on how to use the weed eater in different ways so stay tuned to my channel for upcoming video on that
@@Outdoor-Handyman-Adventures thanks I just subbed
When I bump the head string doesn’t come out
First make sure you do have string inside the trimmer head and that it is not melted together or twisted around the spool in a manner that stops more from being dispensed.

Make sure you have the right size trimmer line if your trimmer line is too big it could get stuck. I hope this answers your question.
I like how I'm the only person who this didn’t work for. The string wouldn't go through.
Make sure your weed eater has a Speed-Feed trimmer head. This only works for the Speed-Feed trimmer head.
What size line do you use? Did I miss that?
.095 Gauge
Yeah, like anyone can just string it though both holes…. Been trying for a few hours can’t do it
This only works for the speed feed trimmer heads
No way I couldn’t figure this out
This is a Speed-Feed trimmer head
What length of string?
I just use 20' of .095
More difficult and get tangled up doesn't even go through hole
You got to have a "Speed Feed trimmer Head" on your trimmer for this to work
My string never comes out of the other side 🤦♂️ 😆
This is a Speed-Feed trimmer head
@@Outdoor-Handyman-Adventures any chance you want to explain? That doesn’t really help lol
What weed trimmer do you have? Make sure when you line the hole up with the arrow that you can see all the way through the trimmer head
@@Outdoor-Handyman-Adventures this exact one !!! Lol that’s my issue
@@Outdoor-Handyman-Adventures yup lined it up and can barely see through ,like light from the other side but something’s not right
Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you for watching
