Legit!

Would Recommend

Slick contraption! I cleared 1/4 acre of pucker brush and even some small saplings (1/2"). You stop the head from spinning by sticking a punch or screwdriver into a hole on the backside of the weedwacker head. The unit itself acts like a wrench... grab it and twist (reverse thread).

Universal fit Coarse Thread Metal Blades.

Would Recommend

It came with different sizes of nuts and bolt to fit a male or female end for the weedeater, but they only fit coarse threads. The weedeater have has a male end with the fine threads. I didn't know until after I had to rip the packaging open. The packaging is not open friendly, so I had to cut and rip the packaging to get it out. After that ripping the packaging, I didn't feel it was right to return it. I tried to find a nut with fine threading, but i couldn't find a nut with the right size an...

works fantastic

Would Recommend

Cut through all the brush, including the weed trees that were about a quarter-size thick. It was like a mini chainsaw. Very happy with the purchase. Also very easy to install on Black and Decker straight weedwacker.

Beast for Backyard Cleanup, Watch Out for Wildlife

Would Recommend

The Universal Fit Metal Blade String Trimmer Head is an absolute game-changer for heavy-duty yard work. I used it to prep my overgrown backyard garden for winter after letting it run wild for over a month, and it made quick work of high grass and stubborn weeds. It even managed to immobilize and mortally wound a garden snake hiding in the thicket—proof of its power! The blade is extremely powerful, so it's worth being cautious of any critters in your yard. The installation was straightforward, a...

Not universal fit

Would Not Recommend

Bought the Shakespeare Brush Cutter trimmer head at our local Lowe's. It is not universal fit at all, regardless of what the package says. None of the hex head bolts (3 different sizes) included in the package will fit the shafts of either my Troy Bilt or Bolens trimmers. Both shafts are threaded clockwise and the threading on the bolts appears to be counterclockwise. Be warned.

Works like a champ!

Would Recommend

This product exceeded my expectations for the amount of money that was spent. It works excellent for cutting down small trees and vine growth that would normally not be able to be cut by normal string.
