I just got done with 3 ten hour days on a stihl weedeater. I use the head that I load precut 8 inch pieces. A speedloader would not last a day with me!
Is this the line head you are using for your Stihl?
Yes, I believe it is! I have never used one before this job, to be honest, and I really like it. I use a lot of trigger control around trees, stakes, rocks , etc to prolong the use of my line. All the heads I used before were the speed load type.
I have a brand new Stihl here that is in reserve when my old Craftsman dies. I'll be getting one of those heads for it when the time comes. The one on my old Craftsman is better as you just feed one single pc of line all the way through it and make sure the ends are even. I taped a pc of old garden hose to my shaft and put all the pre-cut pcs in there ready to use.
