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 RecommendJust what I needed.
This is not the weedeater head that I need
Would Not RecommendI need a weedeater head for KST 1040B-03. I own the Kobalt 40V MAX. The head that I picked up today is a 80V. Will not fit my weedeater

Works on Kobalt 80V Trimmer
Would RecommendIt works on Kobalt 80V Trimmer but you have to modify because thread pattern is slightly different. Just use hole punch and hammer to tap out metal female part from old Trimmer head and new trimmer head then swap them. Put old female part in new Trimmer head and works like a champ. Parts are interchangeable. Hope this helps others. I had to get creative and it worked. Took less than a mins to swap parts.
Did not fit my 80 volts trimmer.
Would Not RecommendKobalt Universal Fit 0.080-in Line String Trimmer Replacement Head did not fit my 80v trimmer. The threads are to small and striped my threads.

Stay away from Kobalt products
Would Not RecommendIt's sad that Lowes and Kobalt don't even know what parts work on their own equipment. When Kobalt doesn't have parts they won't stand behind their products.

Be careful - you may not get what you wanted
Would Not RecommendI ordered a weed eater head for my Kobalt - she sent me the wrong size - I ordered a 40 volt and received a head for an 80 volt - now I have to drive an hour ( one way ) to take to the store in Corbin to get my money refunded - Not a happy customer Er

Need an allen wrench
Would RecommendThis was fast and easy. All you need is an allen wrench to keep the head from spinning to unscrew the whole head. It is on top to the side where shaft meets the part you are removing. Then just screw on the new one!!!
