Garbage

Would Not Recommend

Upon opening package, not all part were there (Yes, factory sealed) Even after installing per directions, the string keeps getting wound around the shaft of the trimmer (Newer Craftsman trimmer, just wanted a new bump head). Do NOT buy, garbage (BTW this is the second type of Shakespeare trimmer head that has failed me. The other was the load and go, and after a year of use, the string just flies out of the loader socket (yes it is a .095 echo string)

Bought this to replace a worn-out bump feed on my Troy Bilt string trimmer, included the correct thread adapter and took less than 10 minutes to change out. Loading line was significantly easier than previous head.

Easy install but major problems in operating

Would Not Recommend

My original Troy-Bilt trimmer head was terrible. The line would always get stuck in the head and I would have to stop, take it apart, and re-feed the line. I bought this replacement head to alleviate that problem. Installation was a breeze although the instructions weren't detailed enough. My trimmer is a TB35EC and it is about 6-7 years old. It has always worked great. After installation, I started the trimmer . Pulled the trigger and it immediately died. Started it again, pulled the trigger a...

works great until it falls apart

I thought this would be a great upgrade head but the unit isn't built well and wore through in 4 months. it started dropping pieces in the lawn during the sixth trimming of our lawn.

Shakespeare Replacement Trimmer Head - NO/GO

Would Not Recommend

Despite claiming that this Trimmer Head will fir on the Kobalt 80V Max Trimmer, it WILL NOT FIT! Very frustrating trying to get Parts for this Trimmer. I am now on my 3rd Trimmer Motor with Shaft, just because the Trimmer Head keeps failing. I have 2 80V Max Batteries which still Work, but I guess I need to stop the insanity!
