Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt Universal Fit 0.080-in Line String Trimmer Replacement Head
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Would Not RecommendI purchased this head and it does not even look like the old on, tried to install it and it does not fit correctly. I could get in on but I would have the cross thread the head to get it on. SO wrong thread type on this head. Returning to lowes

No replacement spool available
Would Not RecommendDon't buy this product. The product they have listed as a replacement is not correct product. Now I have to buy another weed eater because of crappy product support.
WHY?? Why is this only available by special order?
Would RecommendI live 65 miles from Lowe's. Went there to buy this but it is not a stocked item - had to go home and order online then wait a week for confirmation it was at the store and then go back and pick it up! Was not available for delivery either!! BAD, Bad , just plain wrong! 260 miles to pick up a $20 part...ridiculous....

Great experience right part
Would RecommendUnsure of all the comments about not being in stock. I ordered online had one part the bump advance button delivered within a few days. The whole assembly was sent to my local Lowe's in 4. Maybe it's just a timing thing, but in very happy and love this trimmer. It's great. Would love to see those stocked in store though.
Just bad service

Kobalt Replacement Spool for 80-Volt MAX String Trimmer Kobalt Power Tools are exclusively distributed by Lowe's I have been satisfied with their quality generally but their replacement parts availability is terrible. This was a problem long before Kovid-19. I have needed a replacement head for my 80-volt string trimmer for over a year. Lowe's website and in person staff associates shows it unavailable meaning I can't even place an order. Kobalt's Service Center (1-888-356-2258) M-F / 8AM-5PM E...
