As I was reclining she came in the house needing some washers and a few tools to fix her weed eater. After a few minutes she decided she couldn't fix it. I ask the problem and she mentioned the cap and spool that holds the string was broken. I ask to look at it and thought hmmm, ive seen this before and I'm sure I seen it on the beeb. She had no clue as to what I was doing with wire snips and two zip ties.....the photo tells all.. After all of this she looks at me and questions me to whether or not I seen it on the beeb and then laughs. Said that I'm redneck lol. And she shakes her head grabs the weedeater, and begins to weed eat. Maybe she is right, I am redneck.. Tim
I know I'm not the only one that saw the thread title & thought Metalhead. Turns out, Metalhead might have a long lost brother.
I'm doing that. I hate fucking with them damn spools. I always get the shit bound up. Thanks drop...my brother.
Take a couple pieces of trimmer string, loop them thru holes opposite of each other, and then use the cable tie to hold the legs together, to keep the string in place, instead of using the cable tie as the trimmer string. So one piece has 2 legs sticking out. Kind of like this in the end, but only 2 instead of 4.
I tried that once. Put the blade on backwards. First small tree I hit, the blade bit and the weedeater was ripped from my hands and was sent windmilling off into the woods. I never found it.
