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.

Placed an order with two items and they arrived separately, with deadline dates for each, requiring separate trips to the store. This means one and a half hours of travel! Will NEVER use you again!

Lowes doesn’t care about customers offering online
Listed on Lowe’s website as a replacement head for Kobalt 80 volt string trimmer. Package came and was identified as a replacement head for Greenworks string trimmer. It is not compatible for the Kobalt trimmer. Waste of time and money. I also purchased a Kobalt mower and they don’t have replacement parts for it other than the battery and they don’t even make the mower anymore. I am done with Kobalt tools from Lowes. Get EGO products instead.

not a universal head
Would Not Recommendthis doesn't fit a 40v kobalt weed eater
Hi KobaltDude,
Thank you for your review. We understand how disappointing it can be when a replacement part doesn't meet your expectations. ...
Fit my older 80v trimmer
Would RecommendThis 'universal' head fit my older model Kobalt KST 140XB-06 80v trimmer. It doesn't look 100% identical to the orignal head but it spun on without a problem and my old trimmer is back to full function.

Hi James,
We're sorry the replacement head wasn't the right fit for your trimmer. While this head is designed for select Kobalt 80V mode...
For OLDER 80v models only
Would Not RecommendThis is not universal in any way. It is only for older models of the 80V Kobalt string trimmer. It will not fit their latest 80V models or any other Kobalt string trimmers. Making that clear would save a lot of returns.
Not the fit
Would Not RecommendAgain as everyone else has already said. Not the right fit. It would be great if this part actually could be found so you don't have to completely buy a new one.
