# How to Replace the String on a Weed Eater RTE115
The Weed Eater RTE115 is an electric weed trimmer that uses a replaceable trimmer spool. The use of the spool eliminates string winding. When you run out of string, you simply replace the trimmer spool with a new pre-loaded trimmer spool. Although this might not be cost effective, it prevents the hassles of trying to string the spool correctly so the string feeds out properly. However, if you want to save money, you can install a new string in your old spool.
