How do you wind the spoll, by hand? Is it easy and how long does it typically take?

I do reload the spools of my Black & Decker weed eater by hand, and it takes under a minute. The key is locking the lead end of the string into the provided hole (on the spool) and winding under moderate tension (and without criss-crossing the string) in the direction shown by observing the arrow symbol embossed on the spool. I never wind past the embossed capacity line.The webbed sheath included on this product helps keep excess line from spinning off, so I'm able to control how much line pays out while respooling. Hope this helps!

I manually thread my Black & Decker GrassHog from the reel. Doesn't take too long, maybe 2-3 minutes. This line is strong, too.

All it took was a steady, firm grip to prevent it from uncoiling and about 5 minutes max.

Wind the cord on to the weed whacker? Really? I'm not sure how else you would wind it, other than by hand. Review your tool's owners' manual or go on youtube. This question is independent of the product sold here and the process is dependent on your specific tool.

I did load the spool by hand. It's very simple and took about a minute. Follow T Garrett's instructions and you should have no problem.

Yes, by hand. I've done it so many times now, I can estimate how much line I need for my grass trimmer. This allows me to cut the amount of line I need from the Maxpower spool and then wind it into the grass trimmer. The entire process takes me less than two minutes.

I just went to walmart bought a 100' line for 4 bucks, and when it was empty I saved it and put the spool on the ground and wind it around the small 100' dispenser, much easier. It takes a spool or two for my corner yard, much better.

It's pretty easy, there's a Velcro flap that's folded over on the bottom of each one. Get a small cheap funnel& dry sand.

It's actually fairly simple. After removing the head, open the spool by depressing the blue tabs on either side and pull the spool out.Cut a long piece (about 10 ft. or so) from a spool of replacement line. Form a loop at the midpoint and lay over the pin on the trimmer head then wind the line according to the arrows embossed on the head. Put the cap back on and you're good to go.If any problems, you can go to any local lawn/garden tool rental place for more help.

Close but it takes careful trim and no wind. I can't always do it on demand.

Make sure you use only 1 line clear through head. Make sure the arrow on the inner spool is in the right direction according to rotation of head. I fought mine until the light bulb came on and I realized I only needed 1 long piece of twine and needed to put inner spool in right and wind correctly. Works great now. Directions in manual not real clear.

Yes. You have to keep it moving or it will burn. They whole process is less than 10 minutes. It's super easy. But when the popping gets about mid way (you'll feel resistance) don't push it.

It's very easy, I do it often. You can try to use the 'bar' alone, which a little tricky, because you would have to 'roll' it in to place. The easiest way is to highlight what you want moved with the mouse, then with your Left hand hold the 'Left click' button down and 'drag' it with the mouse with your right hand. Very easy indeed! You will usually use both hands to do a lot of functions with the roller mouse, which is why it is much easier on your hands. There is a demo at the mouse' home page, or at least there used to be. Be glad to answer anything else, if you'd like.

My hands are small so winding isn't always a full turn. takes me 15 to 20 turns. Turn slowly and you can tell when you reach full wind. Running time is about 30 minutes.

It isn't auto-wind in that it has a spring-loaded or motor driven mechanism. You have to turn the hassle to wind up your extension cord or air hose on the reel. It turns extremely easy and requires little effort.

Yes, it is a mechanical wind up - on the side. A full wind lasts about 4-5 minutes, which is longer than what I am doing. It has worked very well for me, an admitted beginner. As I graduate to longer pieces, I would consider the electronic metronomes. But this works very well for my purposes.

It's not a quick release. It winds like a clock. Takes a second, but for the price it's a fantastic home stand.

Snap the female end under the clip on the center of the hub and wind accordingly. I prefer to put the male end out of one of the side holes about two feet and wind it on the reel in that manner... This makes it easier to plug in the male end to power and reel out just enough to to get the cord to the work site... [Two methods]

I would recommend this hose reel to anyone. It is extremely high quality and I am very happy with it. To answer you question, when I wind up the hose I use my hand to guide the hose to evenly on the spool. This winds very quickly this way. I have had some of the mechnical tracking/winding mechnisms and I don't miss them.

Take approximately 20 feet of line and bend it in half 10 ft. Hook it on to spool and wind in the same direction. Feed the two ends through the two holes provided, taking care not to pinch the line. Make sure that the cover cap is screwed in properly. Thats all there is to it.

You have to wind it. It lasts about 45 seconds. You can remove the brown covering.

There's a tutorial on YouTube that explains it. I've not tried it, but heard it is easy once you watch the tutorial. Mine stays set up on a craft table.

There is not a guide that would wind the hose back and forth like a fishing reel. I have had one of these in the other house and it worked fine for over 15 years and still is. Jim
