Replacement spool For those who've tried it, do you recommend buying any .065 in. spool and winding it manually, or buying the ones specifically designed for this trimmer?

My main complaint with this spool is that it only has one line feed. Can I buy a spool with 2? The single line feed seems to just swirl the grass around but not cut it so well - I think this would be solved by a double feed.

I changed my spool for the first time last week. I've had the trimmer for two years. Granted, I have a very small yard, but I never imagined it would last that long. A 3-pack was pretty reasonable at Lowes.

I have done both. I bought a single spool at ~$8 (has ~30 ft). I then bought some bulk line, ~400ft, for $6. I put the new spool on my trimmer. And then manually wound about 30 ft onto the empty spool. It took me all of 2 minutes. Its much easier then some other spools I have tried to add line too. I prefer the line I bought too compared to what comes on it. It seems to last a little longer while edging. I just picked it up at my local Ace.

Hi Stephen, I use .090 inch line in mine, and is real easy to wind the line on to the spool. You will like this one.

I saved the packaging of my Replacement Spool 88175. It says that this spool will fit your Toro String Trimmer # 51352. It was a perfect fit on my Toro string trimmer that I'm still using to this date.

I am sure if it will fit your machine are not. It would not fit my trimmer so I returned the spool to Amazon.

I have not yet changed the line on my GH710 but am almost positive it uses 2 pieces of line. I buy precut refills that I wind on the spool myself. I have found the line more that adequete thickness to not only trim along side of house, but even edge around the drive way and sidewalk. You either got a defective line spool or you are not using the trimmer according to directions, be sure you read directions for optimum use. I have had absolutely no problem with it honestly.

I'm using .08, seems to do fine, still you can only get about 4-6 feet on the spool.only issue I have is because the line doesn't break as much as the line shipped with itevery time you stop it it automatically lets out more line, so it cuts off and wastes line,still it works great and I beat the heck out of it ( no mercy)

I purchased this item for my LST136W. The packaging does not list the LST136W as one of the models for which this spool fits but I compared to the spool that came with mine and they are identical. It fits and it works with the LST136W. So, order away!

I purchased the Black & Decker ST7700 13-Inch 4.4 amp Automatic Feed String Trimmer and Edger, and this is the correct replacement spool for mine, but I don't know if it will fit your model. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I bought the trimmer last summer, used until November, and a few times this spring. I haven't had to replace the string yet. It autofeeds appropriately.....not too long or too short. Compared to my last cordless trimmer from B&D;, this one is much lighter and better.

Mind is a Craftman Weedwcacker model-358.795310, year 1997, 17",24 cc, the nut went on half way, but worked well last summer and is working well now. I use the same spool line I already have from Sears, just cut 4 to 6 (16" pieces) and go to work on a long driveway, along the fence, walkway, sidewalk, and 2 flower beds. Don't know if yours is the same, from what I read on the reviews it worked well on other craftman weed eater/trimmers. I had nothing to loose, my tap and go was worn out and broken, but the engine is running find, did'nt want to just throw it away just to buy a new one, also the four strings does a better job than the old two strings.

Yes (From appearances and 3 weeks of heavy use... it is a better spool than the original...head seems more robust) Note: Should only reload with .065 line to keep head rpms up.

Yes, that is why I purchased 2 of these for replacement line for my Greenworks Weed Eater. Just follow the instructions that you got with your Greenworks on winding the spool with replacement line. I hope this helped you.

According to Toro, the 11 inch to 15 inch electric trimmers (models 51347, 51358, 51346) take replacement spools 88035 (comes in a bag), 88175 (comes attached to a card), 88052 (comes in a 2-pack container). So, yes the 88175 is compatible. It just comes in a different retail container. If you bought the 88052 you would get a retail package with two spools in one pack.

Must buy replacement spools. They are not expensive and will avoid line jamming that comes from rewinding spools.

You can read the instruction manual online to get further information. But it uses .065 line--NOT .070. You can wrap it yourself, but the recommendation is to use a factory-wound spool. The reason for that is that it is nice and straight on the spool. No tangling whatsoever. If you wind it yourself, you might get some tangling. One thing I will say is that we have whacked a LOT of weeds in our backyard since getting this weed whacker about a month or so ago, and haven't run out of our first spool yet. We like this product so far!

This would be probably a good option for you, though dragging the cord around is a bit of a nuisance. It would be lighter than a rechargeable one, and not having to bump it to extend the line is a plus. I will say that every trimmer I've used requires you to manually unwind the spool when it gets low, which is always aggravating.
