How to Change the Line | Weed Eater String | Replace Weed Wacker [2021]

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.

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

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!😂❤

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!.

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!

[donglinjia]

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!

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!

[jantossman]

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!!

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!

[jessicachiu]

The most concise and informative video! I really like that you show the still pics as you're explaining. Thanks so much!

[timidangel]

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.
