How to restring a weed eater wow 🤯🤯  

It only works with thinner ties and a lower power weed eater. Electric, not gas. Big boy toys need big boy parts.

I tried this last summer fucked up my shin 😂

You were right..."Ain't no damn way" 🦆💨

"Safety glasses, safety first" Love it!!!!

They actually make universal heads that let you fill the string easily, all you do is pass it through and turn the head and it re wins it for you. You don't have to pop the head off or anything. #GAMECHANGER

If your whacker string is old and breaks easily, soak it in water for a while. Rehydrates it . Learned this from a pro.

this is why you put an extra length of line in your pocket so you can restring without having to go back to get the string

Thanks for trying these hacks. I mostly watch because I’m curious. This channel regresses me to childhood watching those clips on how stuff is made on Mr. Rogers. I gotta be honest though, what gets me coming back are your reactions to things cause, I have the same reaction sometimes! Lol

I’m more impressed with the fact he got that thing started in one pull

I ran out of string about 8 years ago. Since I don't cut up against anything fragile, I used two pieces of a wire coat hanger and its been on there ever since.

Saved me the trouble 😂

I think it was because you used the heavy duty ones. They were not thin ND flexible enough.

Oh wow! The disappointment is deep. I was right there with you on “just about finished and you run out.”

I used steel wire once... that was both the smartest and dumbest idea I ever had... that wire at Mach whatever would obliterate anything it came in to contact with. Again that wire would obliterate anything even my foot when it finally broke.

I think using a smaller zip tie would be ideal due to the flex. Where as the thicker one inevitably breaks on contact with hard surfaces such as da tree

Anytime I grab the line trimmer I also grab a precut length of trimmer line wound up in about a 3 inch circle and put it in my pocket. If and when I run out of string, it takes about 30 seconds where-ever I am to run the new line. No walking back to the garage till the job is done.

The old farm foreman from my last place of employment use to string up the farm weedwaker with small diameter stainless steel cable instead of weedeater string. Stuff would cut threw damn near anything and last a really long time. But yes definitely wear chaps and eye protection if u try it safety 1st! 😂

I use speaker wire my brother. It works great and I have a few rolls of it so I'll be good for yrs

Safety tip for someone with kids…put zip ties where kids can’t get them. Worked in Peds, kid put one around neck and tightened. Panicked and pulled even more. Neck began swelling. You can imagine. They lived close to our facility and could be there before ambulance could reach them. Kid survived but horribly bruised.

of all of the hacks you have tried, I was really hoping this one would work. my string got all tangled to shit and I have to open it up to pull more out ever time it needs more string.

Ps... You don't need to cut them most weed Wackers have a piece of plastic that cuts them to good length... It's a sharp point on the string guard

Glad you showed this because that's EXACTLY what happens. Thought you were going to try it quickly and say it works 😂

Husqvarna makes a line that lasts. I use the brush cutter head for really tough stuff but their top end line has an orange outside and black inner layer, it's the best I've encountered in 3 decades of trimming

We like that you test stuff out! 😎✊

I done away with stock spools. I have two different depending on use. For the heavy back behind fence along the field, I use the bladed setup. And with regular I purchased a 2 piece corded. It’s a attachment that simply allows you to push in, precut, string and when they get worn out just place two more in. Much easier and fits my Stihl

Just from my experience with zip ties failing when attempting to use them as intended I knew this would never work. I did try some aviation cable, it worked amazingly until little pieces of the individual stands of the cable began busting off and embedding into my leg. I decided that perhaps in this case they actually got it right the first time, no need to reinvent the wheel with weed eater string! 😂

It is worth knowing how to refill a trimmer. Make that video plz!

Thanks for showing the fails too! You just got another subscriber for that one 👊

Take that guard off and you wont use up so much string

"HEGH!!! - me and my partner everytime your clips come up- love from Australia

The lovely part of being a shil owner…. And I’ve been in lawn care for a few years now but .get online. Get an extra, or multiple extra center pieces that you wind your string on……..and just carry the extra in your back pocket, cheap holster for your belt or whatever. Just pop the empty out, and pop the full spare in and off you go. Also if you get multiple you can sit down and string as many as you want and never have to get stopped by having to find the string so on and so forth.

He was FINALLY right when he said "Ain't no way!" Keep up the great videos! 👍

You can precut the line and tie knots in it. Then, load one piece at a time instead of winding the whole thing. The one I have has an attachment for plastic brush-cutter teeth. The instructions showed how to tie line to the brush cutter attachment, in case you don't want to carry both attachments.

I actually predicted this before the end. My cable ties are always snapping. Maybe we are both buying the same cheap cable ties on Amazon? 😂

Heeeeeeehh awesome videos man keep em coming

His weed eater fired on the first pull… he’s a unicorn

Thank you for trying these for the ones that wanted to do this, now I know 😂

Kept thinking my cat was coughing up a hairball. And I don't even have a good damn cat

actually echo makes a head called a speed head, way easier than any stihl head, I run them on all my stihls.

I'm going to try that in the morning Thanks for the tip!

I tried picture frame wire...it totally shredded the wire & was bound up. Not worth it, although I did watch a guy use a short length of chain that he welded to a plate. It seemed to work.

1st joke I heard Co tell "i put an Oz of dope in my babymother car & called the police on her" 😂

I just re-did mine and then saw this. But my dumb ass will still try it once it runs out later.

You were finally right, “Ain’t no way”! Lmfao *most of the other stuff is pretty cool though.

It works for about 10 minutes. If that it doesn’t last very long it chews up quicker than the actual strain you normally use

Thank you so much lmao and thank you for putting on safety glasses!!😁✌ hope you have a great day

Damn!!! That was utterly DISAPPOINTING. Thought we were on to something there....really was hoping that would have worked.

LOL. It’s more realistic to see the fails too! 👍

Thanks for testing! Now I won't give it a try. I've seen it, but I'm very skeptical, appreciate you being the guinea pig 😂

Thanks for the video my brother 🤜🏾🤛🏾

The miracle was getting the weed wacker to start that quickly. It always takes me several tries.

“Never been more disappointed in my life.” I felt that.

I appreciate your honesty at trying 😇

Man i bought one of those push through line feeders. Life changing

This accent feels Louisville or Bowling Green, KY area to me. Got your follow

The trick is "metal zipties" I've been using the same ones for about a year now. Get a perfect edge every time. 😆

Well... YEAH 😂😂😂😂! That is exactly the reason that every time I use a string trimer I put two meters of string in my back pocket.

I'm surprised those zip ties didn't just cut right through that tree... Oh well it was worth a try

Maybe try metal zip ties. When I saw that “plastic zip tie hack” I already knew that would never work 😂

Just use the string. You can get solid plastic blades if you don't like replacing string

I've read enough comments... added to my own commonsense I'd prefer use the manufacture's recommended equipment 😊...good luck guys 👍🏾🙏🏾

I can't use weed eaters anymore because the constant string breaks. Everytime I do, my blood pressure goes up. I'll try this, see if it works.

you were making me all excited.... Now I am kind of mad....😂😂😂

Chinese made zip ties suck too. I work in a mechanic shop and we hate the cheap ones.

Unless you carry zip ties in your pocket, while you are in the garage getting zip ties, take 5 minutes and RESTRING THE WEEDEATER!!

Now I'm interested to try some harbor freight ties...

Man I was about to get excited! 😢 I've seen several things you've shown work out but, what a bummer

You cut the ties when there's a cutter built onto your guard 😝👍

Such a thing as a speed feed head you can put on any weedeater. Literally can load up new string in alot faster and easier.

That metal hoop inside your trim guard is for cutting the string when it is too long. You can see it when he is holding the wacker up after trimming the zips

Thanks for saving me from this useless tip 😂 I did audio visual construction for years, and I lived by zip ties....could not imagine how they weren't going to break when whipped off a tree. Welp, by snapping immediately, thats how. 😂

Have we lost all abilities from the 80’s. I am a girl but I knew how to change my rotators with a screwdriver if you couldn’t afford the expensive tools.

Ya got the Zip Ties, but where’s the bias plies??? If ya know, ya know! I know, yer stunned.

I was really excited about that one. Sad ending.

Thin zip ties flex better. I like the black, green, blue, or red zip ties. This is going to sound stupid, but I've never had a white or clear zip tie old together.

"Safety glasses, safety first" S**t hits him in the shin!

I'm also truly disappointed that this doesn't work. Guess I'll just have to keep carrying the small pack of extra string...

Dang- I seen this thumbnail and got all excited. Thanks for letting us know it’s a bunch of malarkey.🤣

Just getting echo speed feed head. They have ones with adapters for any string trimmer and they're absolutely the bomb

Even if it worked, this is just lazy. It takes 5 minutes to replace it if you know what you're doing, and then it's good for the next time

I was wondering about that. Thanks for trying 😊

Shows where the comment section is at. Let me save all you guys some trouble. They make an attachment for lawn mower style blades, and one for circular saw blades. I've used the circular saw thing many times. It seemed sketchy when I first tried it, but when I figured it out it worked great.

You'll end up busting the bearing due to no weight in the spindle to many revs for the head to handle, just keep a cut rolled in your back pocket bro lol

Well, you were right...ain't no fking way!!! Lmao

He don't want to go back in but he'll go back to get zip ties lol

get a Speed Feed head, comes with adapters to fit most string trimmers. Then do the "bolt mod" that is here on youtube, which saves the cap from wearing out. And its a Great upgrade for your string trimmer. Bought one a few years ago, a huge improvement and time saver.

The fact that you even take the time to try this proves the emptiness in your skull!

Try the heavy duty black ones. The white/natural color is not as tough.

I’ll never forget when I did the dumbest thing ever and wheedwacked with flip flops on. Got my toes lol. Now I wear my boots, every time. Idc the weather.

Makes complete sense though cause string is made from nylon and so are zip ties...

This one is a good one I needed to here

I used to do that It works for a short period of time depending on how strong the zip tie is.

See this is the genius of your channel. Either its life back confirmed or debunked. And no matter what we're all still laughing

At last! A real DUD! Welcome to the planet Earth!! 😳😳

Use metal zip ties, works like a charm just don't let it hit your leg

it will probably do the grass, but the material for that is definitely going to snap on harder surfaces like that tree trunk.

For those thinking this is a good idea, zip ties of that length are almost 3 times the cost of string.

The real surprise here is getting your weed eater started on the first go. Teach that trick.

Back in the 80s I cut up a license plate in the shape of a star and it works great till this day !!

Glasses are a must ….SOMETIMES 😁…..it’s like there’s friggin crap magnets behind my eyes🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️
