Weed Wacker(R) Modification

[rgsparber]

This is such a simple modification to a Weed Wacker(R) that it might not be considered a homemade tool.

My problem was that the automatic line feeds on both of my Weed Wackers don't work well. They either don't feed out enough line or the feed it all out. My solution is detailed in

and entails removing the bobbin and cover. Then I take a length of heavier line and tie two knots in it. Fish it through the holes and I'm done.

The heavier line means it lasts longer. To replace the line, I just pull on the old line from the center and it comes out. Thread in a new one which takes a few seconds.
