    I've watched at least a dozen of these Ryobi re-spool videos, and you're the first poster who showed the red line *CRIMPS*, for that basis alone your video is worth a million bucks. *THANKS JOSH!!!!!*

    The instruction manuals are more warning labels than simple to understand instructions. Your video was the best step-by-step instruction of all that I watched. None of the multi page and multi lingual manuals explained how to load the string. Your camera angles always showed what you were doing.

      Same here but with teenaged son, insisting he could figure it out. I suggested checking youtube. No, he could figure it. I got out the manual and read it to him while he continued fiddling. We looked at each other and I again suggested we google. Your video popped up first. We watched it and son's face lit up. He went back outside and in what seemed too short a time to be possible, he was back inside beaming with accomplishment and ease. Thank you and bless you! Very straight forward and proactive - showing additional tips and potential pitfalls to avoid. Kudos!

    I was about to return my new string trimmer because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to re-string the thing. Thank goodness I found your video. It's so much easier than I realized - but the manual is terrible!

    Thank you for the excellent demonstration. Today, I ran out of string on my new Ryobi trimmer for the first time and wanted to make sure I restrung it correctly. You helped a lot by also covering the use of non-Ryobi prepackaged string. That's what I'm going to be using. Thanks a lot.

    Brilliant video!! I've used all sorts of tools and consider myself fairly competent but putting the line trimmer pieces back together (so that it worked!) was beyond frustrating and thanks to your video I was finally able to do it. It's amazing how one tiny tip can turn failure to success. You are a terrific teacher - thank you so much!

    Woohoo I think I did it thanks to your video. On my last trimmer I could honestly, not do it. It had double. One day it didn't start and I said f it I'm buying an electric. Looks like it worked. Thank you. Most speed through the most critical part, but you actually made it easy to get a view, which is essential.

    Strange. Line on mine jammed up. Earlier in the a.m. I shaved all the hair off my head. Grabbed the Ryobi directions and couldn’t decipher it. Picked this film first thing. Looked like I was lookin in the mirror. Then Josh mentions the lousy instructions. Followed his guidance and took less than eight minutes. Great instructional video. Great haircut too.

Yes, I took it apart and got the (original) old line out of it but couldn't get the head to turn and lock in place. Do hang in there bud! My oldest son is also Josh, great name!
