Do you have to purchase replacement spools or can you buy the string and wind the spool yourself?

I'm sure you can buy string, wind it yourself and save money, but I'm not so sure the string will auto feed as well as if you were to buy the pre-wound spools. Haven't had the trimmer long enough to try it.

I haven't ran out of string yet but it looks like you can just get more string and rewind It yourself

You can rewind the string yourself on any of them. Takes about five minutes.

I think it easer just to purchase them. The LST136 has a self feed mechanism and if you don't wind the string just right it won't feed. Amazon has a pack of 3 for just $14

AF100, they come "winded" per say, and they fit almost all automatic feed black and decker. I had a corded model of BD and it used the same af100. they also come in three packs and are fairly inexpensive.

You can basically do either. I have done both and either works OK. It is easier of course to get the pre-wound factory units and they do package them in such a way, that they do not become unwound during transit, unlike the unit I received, the spool was unwound to start, so I had to redo it anyways. I'd say try both and see what you prefer, but both apply in any case, just depends on the individual I would say. The factory does do a good job and getting them wound perfect however. I suspect a machine does this by the perfection of the winde myself.

This does not. Most reels when sold individually don't come with line spooled up - a lot of combo's/kits will come with everything rigged up though.

The other tip I want to offer.. If your buying this dont buy the pre-cut string make your own.. I bought a spool of low noise twisted commercial grade line.. I pre-cut 4 pieces when I am edging so if you loose string its a quick change.. The string is 130 -@ 150 ft. Cuts very nice and edges wonderfully.. You also don't need 4 pieces of string I only use 2 at a time... Good luck...

It does come with string. 75ft I believe. You might want to get a bigger spool though.

The unit comes with an installed spool line. You will need to purchase line and wrap it around the spool when needed.

Yes. You can re-load the spool that came with the machine. I bought a much thicker string because the small string that comes with it breaks way too easy. Now with the thicker string it works great. I'm very pleased with it and the battery life is good.

These spools are designed to feed out two strings and therefore have a split or dual wound spool. If you really wanted to buy a big roll of the correct size diameter plastic string and rewind your spool, you could do it. I prefer to avoid the aggravation of needing three hands to do it and the replacement spools are only about $9.00 for a package of three. They last all summer long, and it is much easier. The string is blue in color, and fairly thin.

I tried restringing the original spool and it didn't work well . . . unwound too fast and wasted lots of string I found it much easier and less expensive to just replace the entire spool. These spools last quite a while.

You can easily rewind the spool and reuse it over and over. I use a specialty line in mine that has multiple edges that help maximize the battery life.

No Greg, the Symetre does not with an extra spool. Replacement spools are available. I purchased one, however I thought it was pricey!

My Greenworks Model 21052 trimmer uses dual line spools. If you cannot get replacement spools from the manufacturer, you will have to buy bulk line from any hardware store, and rewind the spools yourself. Be patient while doing it.

Removable from what? It comes on the spool and cannot be removed from the spool for replacement. You have to replace the whole thing.

Just found where you can get the spool. www.peoplepoweredmachines.com. I just ordered one.

You get a pack of 12 (6in) lines on Amazon or you can get a 91 foot spool of .170" line for $13 and cut your own. My 32" riding string trimmer uses the same line.

Yes, they do tell you what size string to use (.065" diameter). They also have instructions and a diagram showing how to replace the string on the spool. Unfortunately, neither is very clear, so it's best just to look carefully at how the string and spool fit before taking it out. It's actually not that difficult even without the instructions.

If you check the gauge of the line you can usually buy pre-packed spools that are cheaper than Black & Decker. I'm not sure what you mean by using your own line.

Yep, very easy, thread the pre-cut line through the end of the shaft. No spools. Just takes seconds to replace with new line. The whole machine works great.
