What Customers Are Saying

The Kobalt 40V trimmer spool has mixed reviews. Some customers found the spool easy to install and the trimmer line to be of good quality. However, many reported compatibility issues, with the spool not fitting their specific Kobalt 40V trimmer model as advertised. Some also noted the trimmer line broke easily or did not last as long as expected. The spool may work well for some models, but customers should carefully check compatibility before purchasing.

Good hub with cheap line

Would Recommend

Needed a spare line hub, the line that it came with does not last very long and seems brittle.

Double check that it's correct.

The salesman sold me the wrong spool for the Gen 4 I purchased at the same time. Make sure the spool is for the Gen 4.

Horrendous

Would Not Recommend

This stuff is terrible. When I first bought my trimmer, the cartridges worked fine. The least few years they are useless. They break all the way into the spool so I’m constantly reopening and rethreading. Often, the string is tangled in the spool and needs a good pull with the pliers to get it going again. Trimming the edges takes longer than mowing my lawn and edging it. I’m going to have to buy a new trimmer for efficiency’s sake even though the rest of it works fine.

This is advertised that it fits 40v Kolbolt tool. I bought the gen4 model and it clearly doesn’t.

24V pre-cut Trimmer line not available

I bought the 40V (which I also have) but the 24V was not available. I did use the old base to put the new line on, but it is not easy. Please get the 24V in stock

new string is terrible

Would Not Recommend

The old string was silver it was ok, the newest one is grey, absolute garbage! It breaks it burns off quick i went through so much with this new one, the old one would last a lot longer i have zoysia so its tough. I bought the 5 pack, these kobalts are so easy to restring, i'll use the remaining string and never buy this junk again
