Cut a piece a regular 12ga stranded wire long enough to get 1 or 2 wraps around the spool, plus whatever you need sticking out of the weedwhacker. It'll cut through small branches and last all year. Just need to be careful, it'll cut into brick, wood, siding, pretty much anything softer than the wire. I haven't had a piece break off....... yet.

I had a piece of wire break in one. Not fun. Hit something and about an inch of wire came off and into my leg.Cut a piece a regular 12ga stranded wire long enough to get 1 or 2 wraps around the spool, plus whatever you need sticking out of the weedwhacker.

I had gotten one of those aftermarket gizmos with nylon blades, worked well but wore out the blades quickly and they were expensive, So I figgered I'd rework the concept and used old hacksaw blades instead of new nylon ones. Worked great til I hit a large rock, the blades shattered and sent shrapnel all over the place. Missed me, luckily, but found out about 10 min later some shrapnel had punctured my fuel can. 3 gal of mix drained into the ground. The next day I also found shrapnel had punctured a dripline, of course this was after the water cycle was done lolI had a piece of wire break in one. Not fun.

Be careful with wire.

Here's mine. I had one of those too but ran out of the blades, I have lots of zip ties.I had gotten one of those aftermarket gizmos with nylon blades, worked well but wore out the blades quickly and they were expensive, So I figgered I'd rework the concept and used old hacksaw blades instead of new nylon ones.

That looks like the modern equivalent of the original yo-yo, which I vaguely remember being adapted from an Indonesian boomerang* with training wheels ... they used it as a weapon.Here's mine. I had one of those too but ran out of the blades, I have lots of zip ties.

Yep that was it. I had to drill the hole at end of hacksaw blade a tad bigger to fit that screw. Was amazed how quickly the nylon blades wore out/away. once the bevel on the nylon wore away it just pulverized the weeds instead of cutting themHere's mine.
