Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this for about $40 thinking I'd gotten a good deal on a weed eater (hadn't looked around too hard)... used this twice then the spool housing wore out quickly.Doesn't look like the replacement spool has the part that wore out which is extremely unfortunate because its construction seems to be a hideous oversight, as least in my opinion.
Here's why:The spindle mechanism which causes the spool to spin and thus cut weeds is a small metal die with very shallow metal grooves.The spool housing connects to this and has a small die opening with shallow plastic grooves.When brand new these fit together snugly and create a tight fit for the spool to spin.What happens though in application is if there is any moderately dense vegetation and the spool does not get completely free, it will slow down but the die will still spin inside the plastic housing whereby causing the spool container to strip out on the inside.Soon, the spool housing just fell off and will not reconnect to the die.. it just falls off as soon as you start it up.I was hoping I could buy a replacement for this but it seems as though the replacement spool just contains the wire/ wire holder.The part that stripped out was the part that connects to this which is not, ridiculously, part of the replacement part.Two uses and my weed whacker is now whacked.
A classic example of a disposable society which we desperately need to get away from.
