Spool cover is inadequate

Would Not Recommend

I’ve owned this weed eater for 2 years. My battery life runs around 1 hour and 45 minutes. The power is good, but I’ve had two spool covers break in two seasons, and now I can’t get the part. When the part comes in, I’m selling mine.

Broke on second use.

Would Not Recommend

The spool cover broke the second time I used it during routine trimming. Now the trimmer is unusable and apparently the product has been out of stock for months. There are dozens of FAQ posts about the same issue, this is clearly not an isolated event.

Broken After Using Twice

Would Not Recommend

The spool cover cracked under normal use, and now no replacement has been available for months. This is a truly bad product!

Replacement part not available

Would Not Recommend

The spool cover broke and the company tells me a replacement part will be available in late June. In California the weeds stop growing before then. I need this NOW. Back to the gas trimmer.

Terrible design

Would Not Recommend

I have used this weed eater maybe eight times total. The spool cover broke under normal wear and tear. The spool cover is on backorder, and my grass keeps growing.

Kobalt hands down BEST trimmer on the market.

Would Recommend

Kobalt electric (battery) is better in EVERY way than gas powered...much stronger (RPMS) then gas, and NEVERR brakes down...or go to Lowes and you are given , no questions asked, a brand new replacement (5 year warranty). ONE negative. You must buy the spool cap and bump knob, as they do wear out in a season or two, may be 3 if careful...they are made with normal plastic, which won't take the abuse of scraping on hard surfaces. $6.98 for each item w free Lowe's shipping for EACH part. So about $...

Fits Kobalt 40V!

The cover on my Kobalt 40V cracked and Kobalt doesn’t make a replacement. This one fit perfect.

Works on Kobalt 40 volt also

Would Recommend

I purchased hoping it would fit the Kobalt 40volt trimmer and I can confirm that it does.... I am buying a 2nd as a spare now that I know for sure. They are exactly the same part, the description just does not say so.

Fits my Snapper 60v Trimmer

Would Recommend

I purchased this in hopes it would fit my trimmer, as Walmart does not sell the spool cover for their exclusive product.. The manufacture says they do, but I can not find it anywhere, and I can not get walmart to order it for me.. So I went to lowes and found this one.. Fits like it was made for it!! So if your looking for a spool cover for your Snapper 60v trimmer.. This is it!!
