can I refill the spools?

I imagine so, if you have the same diameter & durability as the original string.
1469722
Yep. And you can put thicker line in it for less frequent breaks but less line as well...

Yes, I refill mine all the time. I use a multiple-edged line, works better.

I believe you can spool any preferred floss onto the reel, however, I have used these for years and have yet to run out of spool before the plastic crank mechanism breaks down.

I use my own line but I've found its impossible to get a hand wound spool to feed correctly no matter what I've tried. At the same time, prepacked spools work just fine for feeding line.

The wire is very stiff. I doubt they would be easy to make out of wire pliable enough to spool.

from what I have read yes you can use non proprietary spools. which means any brand as long as it is the 1.75mm

We have a smallish yard and have yet to fill spool. Have had product all last summer and this year, so far still on same spool. Hope this is of some help.

Yes. Your machine should have an accessory pack that includes a plastic attachment that keeps the spool of thread on. If you don't have one, you can take a piece of styrofoam and push it through the thread post to hold the spool on.

Trimmer line is included. Purchasing a new spool is not necessary, unless you prefer the convenience of a pre-threaded refill. I was able to refill the existing spool with .065" (1,65mm) trim line, found at any hardware store, for much less money than a refill spool. The instructions provided illustrate how to replace either the spool, or just refill the line.

I'm not sure and can't remember but I can't remember ever throwing the ring away either when I buy a new spool. The last spool I bought through Amazon was all tangled and I was only able to use that spool 2 short times and ran out. I think who ever was selling them was filling them himself but it could have just been a bad spool.

Yes, you can get refills. It's the best mosquito repellent we've ever had. We use a couple of them in our pool/patio area.

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 have finally killed my slightly ancient Swiffer (probably 4yrs old or more), but haven't bought the refills for most of those years! Yes, you can cut the bottle open and refill as you please. There are also reusable microfiber pads available commercially. I bought mine at either Lowe's or Home Depot, can't remember. They have worked great and are totally washable.

Yes, it can be refilled but I wouldn't recommend it. I've done it and I'm wasn't happy with the refill. I buy new cartridges now....

No not at all. If you have owned one in the past like I did it is exactly the same. You pop in the spool and feed the line through the hole. That's it and then lengthen to where you want the string.

p.s. once I got the hang of reloading the double-spool, I just use cheap string from Walmart or amazon instead of buying expensive prefilled spools.

It can be but you risk tangling and breakage. It is best to use pre-wound spools.

I think it may depend on your calculator, but I just put one spool in ran the ribbon through the "track" like setup that it runs through to be used and placed the other spool on it's holder.
