Thank you I'm a 72 year old widow and my husband didn't teach me how to restring our Ryobi weed eater your video was perfect ❤

Thanks Matt, really helpful for a single mom like me maintaining our nice yard. I love trimming, I find the grass smell relaxing 😁🥰

thanks Matt, you made it so easy to follow for an elderly lady who has never had to trim the garden but is doing so now due to changed circumstances.

I have been searching for good directions on how to do ths FOREVER. Thanks so much for your clear and helpful directions.

Thank youuu, this is the only tutorial I actually understood and figured out quickly. 😅

Glad it helped!

I find that doing this once, by trial and error, until I find the optimal length, I can then strip the line back off and measure it. Once I have the length, I then cut half a dozen pieces to that length and then roll them back onto the bulk spool. In the future, when the trimmer runs out of line, I just pull off one of the pre-cut pieces and wind it onto the empty spool without having to deal with unspooling it from one reel as I spool it onto the other reel. Requires less dexterity and lays onto the trimmer reel with fewer kinks to sort out. When I pull off the last pre-cut line, I use it to measure some more. It is also helpful to mark the length on a piece of tape on the trimmer shaft, just in case.

Good tip - care to share that "optimal length"? Is it 4 meters (13 feet)?

@@markkraus8674 It will vary, that's why I said that I find it by trial and error first. Start wrapping it around your spool until you get the amount that winds on easily, then pull it off and measure it. Now you can just make a bunch of them that long and have them ready when you need them. I usually stick one in my packet while I'm trimming so when my trimmer runs out in the middle of the job I can respool it right there on the spot. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

Well done video 🙌 thanks so much, you rock dude! 👊🏼

Great tutorial!!! Thanks for making it all so simple… cheers

Very helpful video, thank you! I finally found out why the spool wasn’t working correctly!

Thanx Matt. You're an awesome teacher

Thank you very much for this video. It is very factual and gave me the information I needed.

thank you so much...I read the booklet to re-string and it made NO sense. You made it so easy!!

Thanks! Was really easy to follow and showed everything you need to know.

Thanks so much for the easy to understand tutorial

Thank you, found this really helpful. Was worried that I had no other option than to buy a new spool.

Thank you. Much appreciated.👏

Awesome Matty Thanks 🙏

Great! Thx. First time threading the line on a weedeater 😊

Lifesaver. Thank you!!

Wonder what the length shouldd be .. thanks so much it sure helped me !

Thank you for this video.

Thank you for this... But I did exactly what you said to do and it unraveled as soon as I started using it. The replacement line I have is "universal" and seems quite thick -- maybe this is the issue, though it doesn't make sense

Perfect tutorial thank you brother

Thank you for the help. it didnt bend back as nicely as when you did it so I may have to do it again

Thank you sir

Thanks Matt. I followed your instruction to the letter several times using the original Ryobi line however once I start to use the trimmer it cuts for a few seconds or so then the line snaps off where the line comes out of the head. Could this be a tension problem or is it some other problem that is causing this to happen?

How many different heads are there on these Ryobi trimmers. I've watched two video's and neither are like mine?

I don’t understand why but mine keeps going under the spool every single time I go to use it, even following your instructions so closely.

@@sparky39 I found I was winding the line the wrong way, and it was unspiralling and then catching underneath the head.

Not very good camera work....moving too fast and not capturing the spool in much of the video.
