Ryobi Reel-Easy+ String Trimmer - How to Easily Wind String! Quick Load of Trimmer Line - by DIYNate
DIYNate shows how to quickly load and wind the Ryobi Reel-Easy+ string trimmer head he has by feeding trimmer line (0.080 or 0.095 - 16 feet) and then winding it so it is ready to go for trimming the yard. Easy and quick process but easy forget to how to do it and not something you want to have to stop and find the manual to look up the instructions. Also, you don't need to take the head apart to load the string - that was just shown to illustrate how the Reel-Easy+ bump head works.

In this video, DIYNate shows his process for winding the Ryobi Reel-Easy+ string trimmer head that he uses on a variety of Ryobi shafts (gas, electric, and Ryobi expand-it heads). This head is extremely easy to wind and makes refilling string after burning through it a breeze. But, many of us prefer to check the video to make sure we remember how to do it and there are a few components that can be easy to stumble over. This version of the Ryobi bump head replaced their legacy version called the 'speedspool' and I also have a video on how to wind the older / yellow style version here: • How to Wind Ryobi String Trimmer Speedspoo...
This Reel-Easy+ head can be interchanged with other heads (like gas and battery) and you may find it on a variety of trimmer heads including Ryobi's Expand-It product line. DIYNate had a couple extra heads like this and thought it would be a good idea to create a video on how to string it. You may be searching for a comparable model number and I believe Ryobi uses these models to designate this type of head (AC04156 or the newer model AC053N1BFH).
Ryobi string trimmers (RY252CS and RY253CS) models may also use this head and the Ryobi Expand-it system allows for exchanging lower heads. This specific head can be attached to a lower shaft and then used on one of those trimmers.
Tips: Make sure to use 0.080 or 0.095 string trimmer line as the specs call for that and also puts a limit of 16 feet on how much can go in the Reel-Easy+. head.
Steps:
1. Cut 0.080 or 0.095 string trimmer line to 16 feet (one long line)
2. Line up the arrows on the bump head so that they point to the holes where string trimmer line can be inserted (again, you don't necessarily need to take apart the head to feed the string through and wind it; you certainly can, but it if you can load the string without separating the head, that is even easier!)
3. Push the 16 foot string through the hole on the housing; the line should come out on the other side (if it seems to give you trouble going through, you may want to separate the insert plastic circular disk and feed the line first through the metal hole, then through the middle plastic circular disk, then back through the metal hole on the other side to make sure the line goes straight through).
4. Make sure 8 feet of line (approx.) is on each side and try to make sure both sides are equal.
5. Begin twisting the bump knob or use the Speed Winder tool clockwise to roll the string into the head; leave approx. 6 inches of string on both sides.
6. You should be ready to start string trimming / weed eating your yard - enjoy!
Hopefully, this video makes it easy to get your string trimmer loaded! Good luck and appreciate you watching the video! Please like, subscribe, and comment if you found this video helpful.
