Would Not RecommendThis trimmer head is horrible. The bump feed feature does not work at all and the quality is extremely poor. Spend your money on something better.
Familiar and universal
I’ve replaced the head on my string trimmer many times, the part just seems to wear out with use. My 12-year-old son was able to install it on his own, so you can too! Comes with a lot of different hardware and I imagine would work with most trimmers.

Does not fit
Would Not RecommendUnfortunately does not fit and is therefore completely worthless. Had to open the package to try it and therefore cannot return it. Total waste of money.

Works, but not very durable
I’ve bought those three times now. Seems like they last about a season and a half. It works well until it wears out. Problems is, is the bumper is plastic and wears from basic use.

Not worth the effort
Would Not RecommendThe bump knob disintegrated the third time I was using it and the string keeps catching after you try and load it, which is a fun proposition

Wore out quickly
Would Not RecommendI purchased this June 2026. It's August 10 and the bump knob is completely worn out. I don't use my trimmer commercially, only my yard and a couple rental properties.

EHHHH
Would Not RecommendTrying to install on a Bolens BL160. Directions very vague. Was told by Lowes garden center and Google that this head would fit and work on my model, although my model is not listed on the package. Could not get it mounted properly no matter what parts I used and in which order per directions. Cannot find any videos to assist.

cheap plastic
Would Not RecommendPlastic tab broke off on install. Directions are terrible. Stick with your original weed eater manufacturers replacement.

Hard Winding Up New String
Hard to load string. Might get easier with some use.

Time consuming to thread
Learning how to thread the line, instructions were not clear and the pictures were very small. After figuring it out, each time I rethread the line, it's still difficult to feed it through the head. Instructions say to straighten out the end of the line - good luck with that!! Even raking the line across my knife blade (like curling/straightening ribbon on a scissors) won't straighten it enough. You have to twist the line around quite a bit to get it to pass through to the exit port.
