The pull cord on a Homelite trimmer is repaired by removing the outer cover and pulling out the cord spool. A new line is then attached, wound around the spool, and put back in place.
Homelite string trimmers are inexpensive brand that you can probably buy at home depot. Depending on how much trimming you have to do in your lawn, should help you decide on how much you want to put down on a trimmer. I suggest going with a Stihl trimmer or a Poulan Pro. You can probably find a bottom of the line residential unit from these brands for about what you would pay for a homelite maybe a few dollars more, but worth it.http://www.weedwackerstore.com
Best bet, do what I did....and don't! go to Home Depot and get one of those Rhino products that you take the string attachment off and bolt this baby one. Works great and does away with the bump and feed. You just put a 12 in. line of your choice of thickness by pressing a button and feeding the 12 inch line through. That is all there is. You might have to replace that 12 inch line after each use but I put in really thick line and if works for about an acre of land. Very pleased for a product that cost me $15.00 and just bolts on to the end of the Homelite shaft.

Most trimmers roughly 5 oz per gallon gas. The bottles they sell next to the line are to treat 1 gal typically.
It is easy to string a dual line Remington trimmer by following the instructions in the manual. The manual was supplied with the trimmer when purchased.
You can expect to pay about $5 for replacement line for a Poulan Pro trimmer.
Yes it can, but the line does not last as long. My experience has taught me that the smaller the line the shorter the lifespan.

A line trimmer, also known as a string trimmer, is used to trim grass or weeds. The piece of equipment also goes by the name of a weed eater, or weed whacker.
Locate the trimmer head at the shaft. Remove debris in the head. Cut a 14-inch piece of the trimmer line and fold it. Place the spool against the spindle. Feed the ends of the line through the eyelets. Push the spool down and pull the trimmer line tight with your hands. Tighten the spool.
