What Customers Are Saying

Customers report significant frustration with replacement part compatibility, with many finding spools and trimmer heads do not fit their models despite universal labeling. Several note parts are unavailable in-store and online, forcing them to abandon the system entirely. Threading and design inconsistencies across generations render worn components irreplaceable. However, a minority report successful installations and praise improved spool design and durability. Those who succeeded often required third-party research and tools. Overall, incompatibility and parts scarcity overshadow positive experiences for most users.

Ordered replacement head to hedge against failure

Good but need correct tools

Best Kobolt 80v product

Would Recommend

I have had Kobolt 80v Weed eater for 5 years know. I purchased as a spare just in case this goes obsolete. This is the best weed eater I have ever owned. Five years and still works like the first time I bought it.

DOES NOT FIT KST 2580-06 TRIMMER

Would Not Recommend

THIS DOES NOT FIT KOBALT 80 Volt MAX KST 2580-06 TRIMMER ! I even called customer service for 30 minutes to discuss and they verified it will fit. The center threaded insert nut does not fit the thread of the center shaft. Everything else looks similar but NOT THE SAME! Now I'm out of the money I spent on this.

Discontinued parts

Would Not Recommend

I purchased what I thought was supposed to be an excellent string trimmer in 2018. Now I cannot get this part as it has been discontinued and the customer service person even stated that it was a wearable part. Now the trimmer is totally useless. I can't believe Kobalt and or Lowes would do such a thing.

Can't wind spool

Would Recommend

Just bought 80 v string trimmer, Why is it so difficult, if not near impossible to wind new line on to spool. Can the line be wound with spool removed from head?

Poor quality

Would Not Recommend

Just a heads up if you’re looking for a quality battery powered lawn equipment with readily available replacement parts DO NOT BUY KOBALT! The pressure washer is garbage no matter the setting (I get better results with a standard garden hose) the weed eater I can never find the correct or compatible parts. But the blower is good for the garage, I wouldn’t take it much further than that. The only thing that hasn’t given me any issues is the inflator fortunately it’s rarely used. I personally woul...

Don't buy

Would Not Recommend

Lowes doesn't stock replacement parts for Kobalt trimmers. Not worth the risk of owning, in my opinion. I own the KST 130X - and I'm out of luck. Won't buy again. Attention: Please don't respond something about calling the team at the 800#. I did that.
