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.
Will this method be safe in flip-flops. Lol.

Well what in the actual fuck guys ....that shit sounds dangerous and very effective ....luckily I have a little more weed eating to do in my back yard ......I'm guna try the 12ga wire thing first ....might even throw a zip tie on that bitch for good measure......can't wait to see what that shit feels like when it smacks me in my shin ......as long as it kills the total fuck out of my weeds .....I'm game

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.

Be careful with wire.

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 lol

Here's mine. I had one of those too but ran out of the blades, I have lots of zip ties.
