How to Load the String in a Weed Whacker Speed Head
Speed Heads in weed whackers are designed to provide a constant supply of trimmer line to the user with a simple bump of the head on the ground. This save a lot of time when it comes to changing string or fixing snags in the line. Speed Heads often have two cutting strings versus one in traditional heads. This reduces wear on the strings and more powerful cutting abilities. Does this Spark an idea?
