The craftsman is the same way but either won’t feed or dumps all the line at one time. I put 6ft on each side and can’t even take the damn thing apart. At this rate scissors work better.Mine is a Milwaukee cordless. You line up two red lines, feed the string all the way through and pull it till it is even then wind it on. Don't even have to disassemble the head. It works great. Holds about 16 feet of line.
