Weed wacker - extending string life

[ArlyA]

I tested soaked string (was soaked for 48 hours) in the same head as dry string. Made no difference in longativity.

I have not seen it myself but a spool lasts a couple of months here and stored in a cool walk to daylight basement… might help on older stock?

My favorite head the Tanaka Brain never needed bumping and was auto feed…

As the string got shorter the speed increased and the higher speed overcame the feed latch to feed new line…

I have 2 weed wackers, one with string and one with the Stihl PolyCut adapter and blades. I also store the spare blades in water.

Anything that eats string or blades gets sprayed.

Hah, you just made me think that my bulk trimmer line storage location atop the wall header and jammed between the rafters just under a hot metal roof might not be the best location. I have a fully air-conditioned shop, but that space isn't unlimited, and outdoor tools and supplies usually stay out in the un-insulated shed.
