How to String a Weedeater
The string in your weedeater is gone, but that doesn't mean you must leave your yard half-finished. Stringing a weedeater can seem to be a troublesome task if you've never done it before, but it's actually quite easily done, and it gets easier with newer weedeater models. You can probably get this job done in five or ten minutes and get back to trimming your lawn. Does this Spark an idea?
