Ryobi Reel-Easy+ String Trimmer - How to Easily Wind String! Quick Load of Trimmer Line - by DIYNate
DIYNate shows how to quickly load and wind the Ryobi Reel-Easy+ string trimmer head he has by feeding trimmer line (0.080 or 0.095 - 16 feet) and then winding it so it is ready to go for trimming the yard. Easy and quick process but easy forget to how to do it and not something you want to have to stop and find the manual to look up the instructions. Also, you don't need to take the head apart to load the string - that was just shown to illustrate how the Reel-Easy+ bump head works.

In this video, DIYNate shows his process for winding the Ryobi Reel-Easy+ string trimmer head that he uses on a variety of Ryobi shafts (gas, electric, and Ryobi expand-it heads). This head is extremely easy to wind and makes refilling string after burning through it a breeze. But, many of us prefer to check the video to make sure we remember how to do it and there are a few components that can be easy to stumble over. This version of the Ryobi bump head replaced their legacy version called the 'speedspool' and I also have a video on how to wind the older / yellow style version here: th-cam.com/video/yQofAncnb0Q/w-d-xo.html
This Reel-Easy+ head can be interchanged with other heads (like gas and battery) and you may find it on a variety of trimmer heads including Ryobi's Expand-It product line. DIYNate had a couple extra heads like this and thought it would be a good idea to create a video on how to string it. You may be searching for a comparable model number and I believe Ryobi uses these models to designate this type of head (AC04156 or the newer model AC053N1BFH).
Ryobi string trimmers (RY252CS and RY253CS) models may also use this head and the Ryobi Expand-it system allows for exchanging lower heads. This specific head can be attached to a lower shaft and then used on one of those trimmers.
Tips: Make sure to use 0.080 or 0.095 string trimmer line as the specs call for that and also puts a limit of 16 feet on how much can go in the Reel-Easy+. head.
Steps:
1. Cut 0.080 or 0.095 string trimmer line to 16 feet (one long line)
2. Line up the arrows on the bump head so that they point to the holes where string trimmer line can be inserted (again, you don't necessarily need to take apart the head to feed the string through and wind it; you certainly can, but it if you can load the string without separating the head, that is even easier!)
3. Push the 16 foot string through the hole on the housing; the line should come out on the other side (if it seems to give you trouble going through, you may want to separate the insert plastic circular disk and feed the line first through the metal hole, then through the middle plastic circular disk, then back through the metal hole on the other side to make sure the line goes straight through).
4. Make sure 8 feet of line (approx.) is on each side and try to make sure both sides are equal.
5. Begin twisting the bump knob or use the Speed Winder tool clockwise to roll the string into the head; leave approx. 6 inches of string on both sides.
6. You should be ready to start string trimming / weed eating your yard - enjoy!
Hopefully, this video makes it easy to get your string trimmer loaded! Good luck and appreciate you watching the video! Please like, subscribe, and comment if you found this video helpful.

, I would advise to put soda in the oven for 30 minutes and then the soda becomes soluble and very strong, put it inside and waiting 20 minutes
I purchased 1 in Walmart but after I saw this video I give a try and was able to fixed. You save me $29.00. Thank you... :)

You need to mention that some ice makers will not operate if the light in the freezer compartment is on. The switch button needs to be held down.

Thanks for the video! My ice maker makes ice when I fill it with water manually, but it still won't automatically fill with water after replacing the water filter and valve in your video. Any ideas?
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately, I replaced my ice maker, water filter and water inlet valve and I'm still not getting ice. When I manually put water in with a syringe it harvests. Any other ideas?
the ole 1/4 allen helped me dislodge the metal baby spoon. bonus tip, i had to press the little red button on bottom of the disposal to "reset it"
Thank you!
Thanks, I will try this.
Thank you so much. You saved me $100’s of dollars!
Awesome - thrilled to help you save money! Thanks for watching and sharing a comment! - DIYNate
To be accurate, what you're referring to as the emergency brake is in fact the parking brake. Us it as follows and your transmission will thank you. Pull into whatever parking position is called for, shift to neutral, with your right foot still on the brake pedal use your left foot to apply the parking brake, release the msin brake pedal which allows the parking brake to take the weight of the car, then shift into park. Using the parking brake correctly prevents the park pin inside the trans from being loaded up with vehicle weight, and also saves wear on engine mounts and axles. Parking brakes save wear on your car when used correctly.
Great context, Aaron! You are right - I’ve gotten in the habit of calling it the emergency brake vs parking brake. Your extra tips on saving transmission wear are helpful - thanks for the comment! - DIYNate

Need a new camera person
Not gonna lie - I think I had my kids film that when they were 8 or 9. They are a little older now but I am using a tripod typically to help get better and less shaky views. Thanks for your comment and feedback - you aren’t wrong - haha! Best, DIYNate
So mine isn’t the black ring on the buttom but the clear ring above it. It came off & it doesn’t stick anymore to the bottom layer black ring or circle base
Ok - so actually, the clear / gooey style ring is what you want to wash off with warm water for a while. The stickiness will seem like it is washing off which is totally counterintuitive but the next day after drying, it should feel sticky again. That part should mount to the plastic black ring. So I think you are fishing in the right hole with this solve - good luck and hope it works for you! - DIYNate

Mine won’t even stay in the car for a week without falling off these sticky things are not sticky enough they don’t stay stuck
Sorry to hear that. Mine have been holding on strong for years. The latch function of the iottie (if it is the same brand) may be worth trying. Open the latch releasing the suction function before applying the sticky surface then clamping the latch down. It has worked for me in the past and seems to hold well that way. Just a thought - good luck! - DIYNate

My battery is an OP40602VNM, 40v 6ah, bought in 2001 (past warranty, alas). I had charged it to full two months ago, but now it is dead (stored in garage). The voltage between T1 and T2 is 0.0v, between T3 and T4 it is about 0.15v. On the charger, I get the alternating green/red flashing lights. Clicking the battery test button gets no result - no LEDs alight. I have tried shorting between RST and GND with no result; also between RST and 3.3v with no result. Putting it back on the charger just results in the flashing red/green again. Any ideas?
Whew - you are deeper than I have been on that one so don’t know that I will be able to help you out there. 2001 seems really old - I think that was back in the day of Ryobi blue / yellow. Maybe 2011? Interesting you aren’t getting anything with the reset short - I have seen a couple other videos with a variety of ways to give some additional charge to the battery but haven’t tried those out as it stands. Good luck with the fix and thanks for commenting on the video! - DIYNate
@@DIYNate Apologies re my typo - I bought the battery in 2021.
I hope the engineers on this got a $0 bonus that year.
Right? The design leaves a lot to be desired and I am sure a lot of people have spent good money with mechanics to do a simple bulb change. Thanks for the post! - DIYNate

Baking soda and vinegar
What if none of these methods worked?
I just got done with my clog and none worked for me so I poured baking soda and vinegar in and about an hour I came back and it was good.
Great addition - baking soda and vinegar can certainly do the trick! Drano and other chemicals can help as well but sounds like that got the job done! - DIYNate
What if the connector from the original wiring harness if kind of fried???
That one is a bit tricky to diagnose or help with through comments, but if it is the connector from the ice maker to the fridge, generally, the icemaker will come with a replacement harness. If the issue is with the wiring from the refrigerator to the icemaker and it is the part that is connected to the fridge, you are likely looking at needing some pretty good electrical skills plus needing to disassemble quite a bit to get to those wires. Hoping your issue is with your wiring from your icemaker and it is on the easier end to swap out. You can also purchase the wiring adapters separately. Good luck and thanks for the comment! - DIYNate

Hi there - well, depending what this issue is, there are a variety of things you can try. I would start with a disconnect and battery replacement for the remote and fire stick (unplug, etc). If that doesn’t help, I would try the full reset process to get back to factory settings. Good luck to you and hope this helps! - DIYNate

Hot effin darn! All I had to do was turn the Allen key from a set I had in thr tool box clockwise and I could hear draining, and it worked after that! Whoo hoo, thanks! I was stressing and thinking o great more money, and water sat in the drain all day I didn't know what to do. YT and your video plus the last one to the rescue! The plunger was next, we have one labeled "sink" and thank you for the warnings about light pressure due to the precautions! Glad I didn't need it. And I found some things under the sink I didn't need to rebuy 🥳
Love hearing the Allen key got you out of the jam! Appreciate you commenting and your post made me smile! Glad to help and happy it saved you some stress and money! Best wishes, DIYNate

I just hope that you did not actually use the SAME plunger that you use for the toilet!! You failed to clarify the horrors of doing that, and I fear that MANY people went to the bathroom and plunged the sink with IT!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I mean, you certainly could use a special sink plunger vs a toilet plunger, but that would be a little like having different wrenches and pliers to work on your sink than your toilet. I do understand the concern and the ‘gross factor’ but at the end of the day, probably good clean the plunger thoroughly and clean the sink thoroughly after use. What goes down the disposal isn’t exactly clean either so water backing up can be gross wherever you find it. Cleaning is important to your point. BUT…. I am not really advocating for a second / different plunger as that seems a little overkill - as long as you do clean it ahead of time. Disclaimer: I am not qualified to speak on the topic of germs or grossness - haha! Appreciate the comment! - DIYNate

These Maytag ice makers must not be very good quality. 2 years ago, right after we bought this fridge, the ice maker stopped working after only about 4 months. They came out and put in a new one at no charge but now I'm having problems again with it not making ice except once in a while.
So… the conspiracy theorist in me and the former salesman all would chime in and say, it feels like the icemaker is a great item to have to bad, so you feel like you need to buy a NEW FRIDGE. The term I am familiar with is (I think) called planned obsolescence. Basically, designing parts to wear out that will annoy you and frustrate you but not be a total loss. I feel like my Chevy suburban is a great example of this - dashboard split apart only 7-8 years after owning it. Door handles and hinges started failing not far after. Me being a DIY guy - of course I am going to fix it - but there are a lot of people who will think -‘trash it or give it away /and we’ll just get a new one’. Then, guess what: 2-3 years later, the new fridge’s ice maker will start failing again!!! Vicious circle. Thanks for your comment and sorry for my rant. Would love to hear from some engineers to validate that sometimes they design with intended failure in mind (from any industry)… - DIYNate
If your water is dispensing does that mean your water valve is OK and working right? I just changed the water filter 2 weeks ago.
Wow thank you GOD bless
Just some feedback. Thank you for sharing that it was very helpful and just a suggestion for others you can’t set it as the military time!
I tried the allen key method and it worked! Saved me $400 and the hassle of hiring a plumber.
Awesome - love hearing the $ savings side - as someone who pinches pennies, I love helping others save a buck or several. Appreciate you commenting - it helps my channel perform better (rewards me for the effort) and motivates me to put out more content! Take care! DIYNate
Great video! I bet they work great on shower and tub drains too.
Haha - I bet they do work great on shower and tub drains! Gene - you are the inspiration for the video and the knowledgeable contractor referenced in the video! Thanks for the idea and great solution, brother! - DIYNate
Great custom job! Great recycling. This is so versatile and better than anything you could buy. Paint it with Rust-Oleum and it will look like metal.
Thanks Matt! I love the painting idea as well, but part of me likes the wood disguise since I leave my garage open from time to time. I use the heck out of it and certainly if I was building again, I would take my learnings and make it even better. Never thought I would love a homemade toolbox so much! Thanks for your comment! - DIyNate
Ewwwww! Glad you gotter done!!
Great to have the sinks draining like normal! Thanks for the comment! - DIYNate
Going to start making these next weekend. Great video! Thanks!!
Awesome - Love hearing that! Great job planning ahead and thanks for the comment! - DIYNate
Hey Nate was the base sticky in the first place or just a suction cup? The glue on my suction cup melted…
I think it was sticky in the first place. If the glue / adhesive melted, you may still try running it under the warm water - you may be surprised what can be restored with that approach. Good luck! - DIYNate
The issue with those things is an inherent design flaw, because moisture from the non-frozen section is allowed to go into the freezer zone. If it had separate compartments like the full size refrigerators have, then this kind of thing would be somewhat rare. Other than that, the utility of the appliance is nice. Just would be better if the companies making them didn't cheap out on some things.
Good comment there - thanks for sharing your thoughts. It does seem to be a pretty common situation most of us face in the life of a mini-fridge regardless of brand! Best, DIYNate
Oh man I wish I knew about that hex Alan key a LONG time ago 😳 Nice one!
You are very welcome! Thanks for checking the video out and letting me know! - DIYNate
