How to replace string trimmer edger line

Your model trimmer may be different but they usually work the same way. The model in this video is a Ryobi One PLUS+ 10" cordless. It uses .08" line.

Thank You! I'm a widow & my husband always took care of things like this. I'm learning how to do a whole lot of things I never thought I'd need to know! Bless You!

Adam,
Thank you so very much for showing us how to remove the string reel. I had almost given up on it. Your excellent video camera work showed so very clearly how to remove it. I followed your directions exactly and was able to remove it with absolutely no trouble. After replacing the string, I immediately went outside and successfully weeded a rather difficult patch of grass. I have heretofore had someone else do it for me, but I found that I kind of enjoy doing it myself.
Thank you so much.
Kind Regards,
Sandra
P.S.
I am an up-loader of Mario Lanza videos with over 11/2 million views. Your parents would remember him, he had an extremely beautiful tenor voice. Although he died in 1959, he still has oodles of fans around the world. He was esteemed by such famous singers as Frank Sinatra, Placido Domingo, Elvis Presley, et al.
Thank you again for your help.

Clear and simple video. Very well explained and it's still valid 9 years on. My new Einhell strimmer is virtually the same except for the line retention mechanism on the spool. Thank you.

Thanks! I bought my trimmer used for a couple of bucks and hoped I would find easy instructions to replace the trimmer line. One tip: I tried to wind the cord too tight and put too much on the spool. It didn't save me time, just the opposite.
Thanks for the helpful video!

Haven’t used a trimmer in years. Thanks for a refresher course. Direct and to the point.

Thank you very much for your very helpful video. I asked 3 neighbours to help me remove the empty reel housing. All twisted, turned, pulled on the thing and I thought they'd break it. I found your video on youtube and had the empty casing removed in seconds. Due to feeding wild birds, the birdseeds grew green stuff which is now 5 feet high and therefore need the weedwacker to trim it. Thanks again for posting your video online. Great for those like me who have 2 left hands.

Thank u so much! Its funny how all the other videos didn't show this tip, really needed this basic info for us uninformed 😀

[cottersmillington]

Straight forward talk, no intro or music & info much needed, many thanks

Hi Adam. I've looked at 6 other sites today re how to put string on the line trimmer and thought" AmI just thick? I don't get this equipment.Then watched yours and I get it. You go slow enough, you go step by step. Awesome. Thanks Sue.

Oh my gosh ...I thought that this would be tough but it isn't at all. I have been hesitant to take a look on YT expecting it to be complex. No chance of that. Once I viewed the video, I saw that threading an old school sewing machine was probably a little more difficult. Piece of cake after looking at this instruction. Big thx!

As a woman who does her own yard work 😫. I greatly thank you for saving me money. I literally thought I was going to have to buy another edger lol

[iamthehvaclady]

Thank you for this simple and straight to the point video! I was getting so upset with my trimmer because I didn't know how to reload it! Lol. I usually do the trimming while my husband mows the lawn

[merrillwilliams]

Finally, a simple explanation. Thanks!

[Melll]

Single mom here and this video helped a lot! I hate lawn. Hate lawn care. Lol in the past I bought a new weed trimmer every time the rope stuff ran out. Finally changed it myself!

[GeraldineRowe]

Thank you! Being in the UK mine is a different make, but looks exactly the same - I suspect it came out of the same factory in China as yours. My manual gave no instructions on changing the line so I was at a bit of a loss, but you've shown that it's really simple. Thanks again.

Thanks youtube dad, Now i feel like a manly man

[carolglinn]

Thanks Adam...Took me under 5 minutes to do this. I wasn't sure where to start and your video make it very clear and easy to understand. Thanks again!
