Hi,
The petrol strimmer I am presently using has a dual feed spool, which is a complete pain in the B**T to constantly rethread. I use the strimmer mostly at the Allotment where I have wooden sided raised beds. I've tried a variety of different thickness cords but it still snaps and after a short period I have to rethread the dreaded spool. Is there anything I can replace this spool with, to give me a longer life cord and easier fitting?

 :cry:
Thanks
David

might be a stupid question this but you know where the cord comes through the spool,theres little brass/metal O rings are these in good condition like not rough to touch if they are damaged they will cut the cord short hope this makes sense  :?

some folk wind the line on the wrong way, that makes it snap off in double quick time.

The eyes are in good condition, and i have been winding the cord the correct way. I'm presuming that because i'm strimming around the wooden sided raised beds, the cord is not man enough for the job???


Thanks
David

that sounds like it has to be the case then.
the line can become brittle after a few years.
