I've had more trouble free use out of the head that uses 3 - 6 inch strands of chord that you push through the head. They cut good with new chord but not so good when the chord gets down to 3 inches. Then its time to change the chord. Everything has its pros and cons. The tap and go head goes on so much easier and you have new rope at the tap of the head unless the chord gets hung up inside. The 3-6 strand head requires a 3/4'' socket and holding a triangle washer in its place while you thread the nut on and tighten it. The tap and go head will run completely out of chord when you need it to the least and you won't have time to go and get more because you only had an hour to weed eat to start with. You won't have more on the shelf because your like, " No way! I've used all that weed eater chord already? That should have lasted 2 seasons or 3.😵😵 With the 3-6 strand head I know how much chord I have because I cut 3 - 6 inch strands every time I use it. All I've ever done to mine is put string on it and run it. And it got to where it was running in a bind and noisy. Come to find out my head was loose and wobbly even with the bolt very tight. It needed a backing washer to stabalixe it. The pole was loose at the motor causing the clutch to stay ingauged full time. There are 4 bolts there screwed into plastic that were loose. I completely lubed it and put everything back tight like it should be but didn't get to the throttle cable lubing. Its become a bit stiff and need lube. It is running much freer and less constricted. Its and old Husky 225R Brush Getter. With the right blade it will take down small trees up to 2 inch. Thanks for the video my friend! 😃😃
Hi brotha! Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I learned more new tips just from reading your comment. I will pin it up make sure other viewers can see it as well. Thanks again Blade! Take care!
Thank you for this - it was exactly what I needed to change the head on my Husky trimmer. I have done this about 6 times and I always forget to turn it the opposite way. Thumbs up!
I’ve been putting off replacing the head on my weedeater because I thought it was a pain to do. Now I see that it’s super simple to do. Lol thanks for the video
I just replaced this head a year ago to this style, mine used to have the nut that held everything on and and forgot how I did it, my locking hole was it a different spot but same concept, thanks a lot!!
Thanks for the video. Just got a new huski and I cant stand self feeding heads. Changing to a open face like my shindaiwa had. Have a good day. Stay safe.
@@PistonShack thankyou for responding. I was wondering why I couldn't get it to come off. I always thought that it was righty tighty, lefty loosey. This whole time I was tightening it but I finally got it off. Thankyou so much. Regards from Ft Bragg.
It costs a little more to have a pre-spooled line, but when you're in the middle of a trimming job th-cam.com/users/postUgkx429xwEjNPnwzQohFrURRyKF51YfOD_Du , it is so nice to just pop out the old one and pop in a new one. Love Black & Decker tools. Especially the 20-volt battery operated ones. And, as usual, it came on time. Thanks Amazon!
next time, perhaps you could actually show the area to apply grease and more importantly, the washer that sits between the head and the actual trimmer housing during assembly instead of showing it already on and greased.
Here on a vid that was made 5 years ago that I'm watching today as I need help to say: Yeah, folks, don't be like me and forget to put that disc back on before you install the new head.
@@ScrubzOnNugz There is another vid on TH-cam that explains the method my local dealer used. Just search for it and show your local dealer person. I got very very lucky that he was able to fix it.
I'm sure you didnt put that metal shield or what's it called between the gear head, and the trimmer head. It will be a pain to get it off, if it's too tight.

@Tommy Ealey Wow! Great idea!
One good tip deserves another. If you store your Super glue tip down you'll never again have a stopped up tip.😀
You answered my question in 1 minute 7 seconds. Thank you!
Great to hear that brother!
I was totally wrong, I was all over the place, and it's just that simple, excellent video!!
Glad it helped Antonio!
I’m curious now how did you attempt to take it off.??
I have an 8-year-old trimmer and this video saved me a lot of confusion and frustration. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this - it was exactly what I needed to change the head on my Husky trimmer. I have done this about 6 times and I always forget to turn it the opposite way. Thumbs up!

Thanks. No nonsense answers. Appreciate you.

My trimmer head is stuck and it will not come off. I even put the Allen wrench on it and still stuck any ideas how to get it off.
Hi David. Put it in bucket with diesel or just water overnight - that should help to brake it out.
Thanks for the tutorial.
My pleasure, Emerald!
Thanks for the video. Just got a new huski and I cant stand self feeding heads. Changing to a open face like my shindaiwa had. Have a good day. Stay safe.

So it's clockwise and not counter clockwise for trimmer head removal? I'm having the hardest time trying to get this thing off. 🤦🏾♂️
If you look from the bottom it's clockwise.
@@PistonShack thankyou for responding. I was wondering why I couldn't get it to come off. I always thought that it was righty tighty, lefty loosey. This whole time I was tightening it but I finally got it off. Thankyou so much. Regards from Ft Bragg.

Sorry, I don't remember. I even don't have that weed wacker any more.
Oh wow that is way easier than I thought it was going to be.
Yup! It was pretty easy to do) Thanks for watching Bryan!
I have some garden wire stuck in there and can't get the head to come off the 115il model
Hello Little HoneyBee Home. Oh no... It shouldn't be so hard to do it. You can do it.
Thanks !
You bet! Thanks Paul)
Much easier than I thought. My Advance button finally wore out.
You're very welcome Jackie.
Great video and very informative. Still trying to figure out why 61 knuckleheads gave it a thumbs down I give it 2 thumbs up
Thanks kmpung98! I am glad it helped you out.
Thank you
You're welcome Aaron!

You are very welcome.
Wii it fit a 242x husquarna
I don't know Stan. Let me know.
Hola, como puedo cambiar solo la pieza azul del desbrozador ?
No creo que puedas comprar la perilla azul por separado. ¿Cambiaste la suerte?
thank you, I'm an idiot, and usually good at this stuff
You are very welcome Eric. I am glad it worked out for you.
Is this the same one with battery operated?
I think so. I haven't seen battery one. Let me know.
PistonShack Mine is battery ...
That would be counter clock wise when taking it off.
great help....hope it's as easy as the video.....lol
It is! Thanks for watching Robert)
well we watch your video and ours didn't go as well as yours did we wind up cutting ours off and installing a complete new head
Thanks very much!
You're very welcome!

I forgot to put grease and now its stuck
I put this on but now it won’t turn
Hi Jarrell,
Does it spin when cutting head is off?
I'm sure you didnt put that metal shield or what's it called between the gear head, and the trimmer head. It will be a pain to get it off, if it's too tight.
Not clockwise! You turned it Counterclockwise to get the head off!
Why are all these trump ads showing on every site, listen sir "You Will Not Get My Vote".
That's interesting, hmm...
I sell these for $15
That's nice. Pretty good price I got head for 25 $. Tnx for watching.
Thank You
