What Customers Are Saying

The Kobalt 80V string trimmer offers mixed performance. Some users report the replacement spool is easy to install and works well. However, many experience difficulties finding compatible replacement parts, which are often out of stock. The lack of clear product information and instructions is also a common complaint.

Doesn't fit

Would Not Recommend

The old trimmer head is no good and had to be replaced. This replacement part does not have the correct threads to fit the shaft on the motor. Completely useless.

Wrong way thread for my older 80 volt Kobalt

Would Not Recommend

Wrong way thread for my older 80 volt Kobalt trimmer. I am 70 years old and have had two of the trimmers for about 4 or 5 years now. I was disappointed to be forced to buy a new 80 volt trimmer only because the thread was wrong, but product indicated it was for an 80 volt Kobalt trimmer. No model numbers were noted on the the product information.

Replacement trim head for Kobalt model KST 1680-06

Would Not Recommend

I contacted Lowes about the inability to find a Kobalt weed trimmer string replacement for their model KST 1680-06 weed trimmer. I had been trying on line and visited a Lowes store 3 times without success. I finally phoned the Lowes Kobalt facility and was told they would send me the correct part for $38.38 including shipping. When the part arrived it was evident that it was not a direct replacement, so I called back to complain and after back and forth discussion with them, they admitted it was...

Disappointed

Would Recommend

It says universal fit when it was ordered, but when the box came in, it only fit the Kobalt 80 V and of course mine 40 V and it did not fit. So I returned it. If you’re sale the Kobalt products you should have replacement parts available and there are none. Of course my five-year warranty ran out a month ago so now I have a pile of junk.

I needed replacement head for a 24-volt Kobalt string trimmer. This item came up as the result in the search on the Lowe’s website. Once received, the box states 80-volt. This item is too big for a 24-volt trimmer. Apparently, a replacement does not exist for a 24-volt Kobalt string trimmer. Disappointed that Lowe’s doesn’t state that outright. And disappointed that replacement parts are not carried for all Kobalt battery equipment. My only recourse is to buy a new string trimmer. Will l...

I have been trying to buy a string head replacement for my 40-volt grass trimmer for about a year and a half. This new universal replacement from Kobalt was supposed to be the solution. It did not fit either. So, Kobalt wins. I have to buy a new Kobalt trimmer to go with all my Kobalt batteries and chargers.
