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 Not RecommendThought this would extend the life of my Kobalt 80v weed eater but I was wrong. It takes a rocket surgeon to first figure out how to remove the old trimmer head.

Simply can’t get the bolt threads on the frame to start connecting to the female threads on the replacement trimmer. I now have a useless paperweight.

I have Kobalt mower, trimmer, hedge trimmer and chainsaw and absolutely LOVE them but I am terribly frustrated by availa...

Bad quality, broke in 2 months
Would Not RecommendI do not like how craftsman used cheaper material for the most important part of the string trimmer. The top button no longer depresses and is worn down to the point where you can see inside the head and it won't budge.

Would Not RecommendDid not fit the Kobalt weed eater and there was no other options. Thought that being it was a Lowe’s product this would be easier to buy. Could not get it in the store location either.
