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.

Won't feed. Very frustrating.

Would Not Recommend

I used to use the blue string and it was fine, but this string won't feed. The labeling and the person in the store say/said it's compatible with Kobalt 40V, but it sure is not. Terribly frustrating to have to keep stopping and reloading the string.

Make sure you get the right one.

Cannot get it to fit onto the 40v weed eater. It’s advertised as the replacement but doesn’t fit.

Kobalt dual line replacement spool

Would Not Recommend

Even though I carefully check to make sure it said it would fit , it did not fit. I have never been able to get spools and I hate putting line on mine because it’s hard for me to do. If you make a product you should have things to fit. I should not have to buy a new trimmer or get help ever time I need string.

New line is terrible!!!!

Would Not Recommend

First i would like to say I have almost every Kobalt lawn tools amd i love them! They have never failed me umtil now!!!!! I finally ran out of the stock of old line spools for weed Wacker. The new line breaks super easy and the bump reline doesn't work with this line. The line just respools itself. I have the original 40v max and.never had a problem until these new spool line!!!

Doesn’t fit newer model of 40v trimmer.

Would Not Recommend

Doesn’t fit. Had to unwind line and put it on old spool. I guess once you run out of line on newer models you're stuck.
