How easy is it to change the spool? Does it take a lot of finger strength?

No finger strength at all. Just make sure the string doesn't unwind while inserting.

Curtis, it is very easy to change the spool. don't worry too much, you won't have any problems with changing it. very simple thing to do. if you know how to mow and trim your lawn you should be able to do it. one very important thing to keep in mind. the spool, once you need to refill the line, you will have to wind it up neatly otherwise it won't work!! let me know if you have anymore questions.

No it doesn't. It has two tabs on either side you push in and the spool pops off. Maybe as much pressure as opening a can tab. Pretty easy. A little dirty.

It is not very hard. You just fiddle with it and eventually it locks into place. It will take you an extra 20 seconds to figure it out, which is well worth the cash savings on the purchase! Don't worry about it, you won't have any issues.

Very easy. you need only an allen wrench for the adjustment. You must adjust each end the exact same amount.

I just put new line on my old spool, 5min, you can get new spools at lowes I think but why.

No turning spool, but after the hose has been in there for a few days, it's easy to get it back in. Must be done by hand every time, though.

Not hard at all, your instructions will show you how to change it over. Or you can call Jet, a great bunch of guys.

I find it very easy, I change blade width and teeth number quite frequently. All you need is enough light to see the bottom attachment.

I'm using it with a Lincoln Pro Mig 175. The torch plugs right in no problem. This welder had no provision for a spool gun. But, the modification was pretty easy. i just cut the wires to the internal motor and trigger, and wired them to a muilti-pin connector. I then wired the connector on the original torch to complete the internal motor connection when it was plugged in. On the spool gun torch I wired the connector to power its motor. No switches to mess with, all I have to do to change torches is remove the wire from the standard torch, swap the gas lines, and plug the one electrical connector in. Now it's easier tom swap torches than even welders that are designed to accept a spool gun from the factory. This is a very nice spool gun, smooth wire feed, light weight, easy to change spools. Even though it's plastic it is pretty rugged too.

It's changeable but the lock is so weak that a different combination doesn't matter or help. The shaft holding the lock together is a plastic tube and can be broken easily by prying with a screw driver. You don't even need to pry hard.

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.

I have only changed the ribbon on my Remington 5 but I remember having to re-spool the ribbon onto the Remington casing instead of using the plastic ones that were shipped, they were slightly bigger. It was simple enough and if you have the original spools I believe you should be okay either way. I personally like the look of the stock metal spools that is already on there. The quality of the ribbon was great!

Just found where you can get the spool. www.peoplepoweredmachines.com. I just ordered one.

You might have to remove the ribbon from the new spools and put it on the old ones...the diameter of replacement spools is sometimes larger than original...the ribbon would probably be fine.

Yes very easy, just hold line reel and turn hand to loosen then take off and put on other side.

I have not used up my first spool, but from what I have read, you CAN re-spool the line. That will certainly save us some cash for sure. YouTube has many videos showing how to re-spool. Not sure if there is one for Worx weed trimmers, but it should follow the same methods as others.

It depends on what you call "easy". You have to loosen two screws and move the extension part, then retighten. It can be done in less than a minute. This miter gauge is absolutely dead on for accuracy. I highly recommend it.

I'm not a nail tech, but enough for me to do a few manicures using one spool. I hope this helps!
