# How to Replace Wire on Black & Decker Whipper Snipper
The Black and Decker Whipper Snipper is a lawn trimmer with a rotating head for edging. The wire line at the bottom of the unit wears down during regular use. The trimmer cannot cut grass or weeds without sufficient line. When the line runs out, it must be replaced with a new wire spool.
