Ryobi string trimmer auto-line-feed

I've never owned a string trimmer that fed reliably over time-- several different brands, power sources, different "custom" heads, many different string brands, style, diameter-- over many years.

I've given up on the product

This fix results in manual line feed - just press the button on the spool and release as you pull on the line - gives you about 1/4 - 1/2 inch at-a-time. Works for me . I can do my whole 1/2 acre yard with 3 or 4 stops for feeds. John T.
