How easy is this thing to put together out of the box? Can you use both pre-wound spools and bulk line?

Very easy to put together out of the box, I actually put mine together in between a second job I was going to because I wanted to try it out on a customers lawn that day. As far as loading the spool it is very easy to do. If you are not familiar with how this works you tube has many videos. I would never buy preloaded spools because it's cheaper and just as easy to buy strung in bulk. Hope this helps

This trimmer is very easy to assemble. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to be put together. You can use use both the pre-wound spools or the bulk line.

It was very easy to assemble out of the box. We were using it in less than 15 minutes. I only used pre-wound spools and did not try using bulk line.

The only thing that you have to assemble is the grass guard on the trimmer shaft. Other than that, you simply slide the shafts together and tighten the clamp. As for the trimming line. I use bulk line. I would say that pre-wound will work as well.

Very easy to put together. When it does not fit entirely, then something is wrong (don't use force!): inner pieces could have moved during transport. Ithappend to me. I don't remember exactly what was wrong but I know that it was immediately fixed by myself. Easy to put a new line in the spool. No use to buy pre-wound spools. Bulk line is ok.

My BF and I assembled it, and we used the tools provided. The only other item you might want is the WD-40 that most other people seem to recommend. We didn't have any around the house so we didn't use any while putting everything together. It seems like a million pieces when you open the box and spread the contents on the floor, but if you follow the directions and look at the pictures you should be able to figure it out. Be prepared to spend about 2-3 hours assembling it. There were a few hiccups along the way trying to get some parts to fit together, but we figured it out.

Super easy. I used fishing wire. They take some time to put together and fluff but the effect is worth it.

I assembled this myself, and I'm not too mechanically inclined. I would say it's easy. It looks pretty good in our family room and you wouldn't guess it was so inexpensive. Give it a try.

Yes! I've done this myself after modeling it on WinISD and also after the design of the box built by Lifeafterbass. It sounds much, much better than all the prebuilt boxes I've tried. You'll need a tablesaw or jigsaw, clamps, drill, titebond glue, screws, spray on glue, carpeting, and sandpaper. If you get MDF cut at home depot, for example, you won't need the tablesaw or jigsaw-just make sure you have your exact dimensions! All in all I believe it is very much worth doing if you have any woodworking skills and can save you a good deal of cash.

You can go online to purchase or go to home depot. You can purchase at amazon two spools for about $15.

It was not hard to put together. I did it by myself. All I really had to do was add the casters. The hardest part was getting it out of the box by myself because it is rather heavy and tightly packed. I highly recommend this bed. I bought the XL twin bed so use XL twin sheets.

VERY easy. I'm the world's worst when it comes to putting things together - my wife is the "man" of the house - and I put this thing together myself. It's been a while, so I can't remember if you had to attach the Springs, but in any case, the only thing I do recall taking a little bit of time was screwing in each of the legs... Which honestly didn't take more than a minute or two. Also, my kids got the brilliant idea of taking this out to the pool. So this has spent a tremendous amount of time outside, and it is held up remarkably well. Enjoy.

I didn't think it was difficult. I love putting stuff together like this so I found it to be quite easy. It took me about an hour. I would think if you have someone helping you it wouldn't take as long. Don't forget to either get the swim noodle or the pipe insulator to put around the sides so you don't scratch your appliances. I used the pipe insulator and it cost less than $1. You will be glad you did! Hope this helps

I thought it was fairly simple. I did use a multi tool to make the cuts. Remember to measure twice and cut once, you don't get a second chance. Took about 20 minutes for the first one and 10 for the second

Putting together one of the bench by hand took me an hour. However, when I used a drill and socket set, it took 15 minutes. Just put the speed on low. You will warp the PVC if you keep on turning. It was fairly easy for myself to do as a beginner DIY guy.

If a B&D; spool can be home-wrapped (and it seems likely), you can probably find out how on the Internet, and the line size might be in the tool's specifications. I'm too lazy to wrap my own lines so I buy spools when on sale through Amazon, and I hated wrapping spools with my last trimmer!

Not too hard. Just give yourself a big area where you can separate all the parts then follow the directions. Took me about 2 hours and I am pretty handy.

Very easy the tube is split into 3 sections and the coord is already run thru it. You just have to pull the slack as you screw the parts together.

Yes, very easy. It took me about 15 minutes to assemble it. After about a year or so it still works great.

Quite easy if you are reasonably handy with screwdriver and pliers. My housekeeper/cook put the parts on the floor and followed the directions and had it together in aboout an hour.

I put mine together. It came with the required tools and took about half an hour. Not complicated at all.
