So I spent the last 2 days trying to use my string trimmer in my yard. Trouble was, the string trimmer was using up line at an incredible rate. I kept having to pull the spool off and feed more line out. But it seemed like within a minute, the line would be half as long and within 2 minutes, the line was completely gone. I was wondering, is my line so old it just wears off really fast? This thing used to work really well. What's the deal?

Yeah, you probably already know the answer. My string trimmer had automatic line feed, and when I had put new line on it recently, I had wound the spool in the wrong direction. So instead of automatically feeding more line out every now and then, it would pull the line in. What an idiot I am.
