As long as the trimmer line is long enough, it will cut the lawn or weeds cleanly. But when it is gone, it must be renewed. Many go to the hardware store and buy a whole new coil. It's more expensive, but you don't have to bother with winding a new thread. It's not that difficult if you know exactly how to do it.
Because I was faced with this exact task recently, I know what I'm talking about here. I almost went insane because it just wouldn't work. Then I pulled out my cell phone and with the video instructions from “Der Techniker” it really worked very easily. You just have to find the right beginning.
Trimmer Line Buying Tips
There are two types of trimmer lines:
- Square Cutting Lines
- round cutting lines
The square cutting lines have the advantage that the cutting result is better due to the sharp edges. In addition, the energy consumption of these threads is significantly lower.
The round cutting lines are more durable than the square cutting lines.
