Stupid Weed Eater

Or, wait, that's a name brad, the term is Electric Trimmer. Anyway, my Weed Eater ran out of wire a couple week's ago, so I bought more. Now I can't unlock the stupid spool to put the new wire in. I used brute force, pliers, wrench, the thing is fastened on tight. So now I'm wondering if I should just fork over another 35 and buy a new trimmer.
