Do you have to purchase the pre-packed spools are can you use your own line?

I use my own line but I've found its impossible to get a hand wound spool to feed correctly no matter what I've tried. At the same time, prepacked spools work just fine for feeding line.

I purchased the the B/D pre-packed spools because they were at a great price at a local store called Menards. If you have a Menards in your area, be on the look out for these spools when they go on sale. I have gone thru 2 spools with no line feeding problem. But to answer your question, you can self wind your own line on to the empty spool but be sure to do it correctly or it will not feed.

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.

You can use your own line but frankly you can get great price/deal on prepackaged spools through Walmart and Amazon

You could spool many reels. Tell me what reels you are wanting to spool. the reels themselves and the packaging tells you of line capacity with different diameters! There is never a need to find the midpoint of a spool unless you are fishing sea fishing rigs? Even then it would be highly unlikely??? I could be missing the question here entirely however!

Yes, by hand. I've done it so many times now, I can estimate how much line I need for my grass trimmer. This allows me to cut the amount of line I need from the Maxpower spool and then wind it into the grass trimmer. The entire process takes me less than two minutes.

No spool cap. Spool and line pre-wrqpped only. Just as pix shows. Go to manufacture, maybe they offer parts.

I just put new line on my old spool, 5min, you can get new spools at lowes I think but why.

you can buy the spool on line by the model or just re-load the empty one with the type of string you like thinner is better

No. I needed lines so we got some pin striping tape in black & made our own lines. Worked out well.

If a B&D; spool can be home-wrapped (and it seems likely), you can probably find out how on the Internet, and the line size might be in the tool's specifications. I'm too lazy to wrap my own lines so I buy spools when on sale through Amazon, and I hated wrapping spools with my last trimmer!

Hi Melanie, Yes, the spool of line is easy to install and fit's perfectly. Just pop off the bottom cap, which is orange, pull out the used spool. To put the new spool in you need to thread the line through the eye of the housing and then put the spool into the housing and reattach the orange bottom cap and your ready to trim.

20 lb line is a better choice and yes it comes pre spooled. We got these for our daughter and her husband for Christmas and they use them all the time and love them

The only way is to remove the spool cover by squzziing the prongs on the spool cap then remove and wind. Refer to Owners Manual. But Yes you can . I bought a 2 pack refill kit from Amazon for $7 it's from B&D original equip . I would highly recommend doing that instead of buying cheap line and doing it yourself . You might save a buck but it even comes pre loaded and that's hard to beat . Hope that gives you something to think about .

It does come with the lines and no kit is needed. We were not sure and ordered the kit and did not need and had to send back.

It does not come prespooled with line. However, I have bought many baitcast reels over the years and none of them have ever come prespooled. You can take a reel to Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas or your local bait and tackle shop to have it spooled for a fee.

If you are talking about the actual trimmer spool...I did not have any luck doing so. You can get a different attachment though. Fyi, my original trimmer had isn't that bad...just hard to pull off the cap to replace the line.

Yes, you thread directly from the vertical pins that hold the spools. I've had mine for two years, and love it.

No the reel does not come with line.You can get an extra spool from replacementparts.com for $17.87 but you have to put line on yourself.

I have used 5lb spools of various brands and they fit fine. Dont forget to get a cutter. I thought it had one built in but it doesnt. Really a nice buy on this.
