Just hfow big are these spools? I don't see an actual size dimension in the description. Lots of reviews say they are smaller then expected?

They are smaller than I expected. I would estimate they are approximately 3 inches tall maybe slightly less.

I just called B&D; customer svc. and they said that these spools are refillable. I personally wasn't going to purchase these if they weren't but knowing this now, I can have 4 spools total that are filled and ready to go.

The answers to Sheryls' original question are poor. Length and width is not enough info lacking thickness. And there are 3 different thicknesses listed; 1/4", 1/3", 5/16". Looks like there was some guessing going on without real knowledge. So which is it? I wouldn't buy these without knowing.

I have my Dad's old Royal Arrow. In it he had spools that were 2" in diameter and the ribbon itself was 1/2" in height. I read elsewhere on Amazon that those are the standard dimensions for many old typewriters.

Kenny, Stren makes various size spools. However, it depends upon Amazon as to what sizes they offer. Other retail outlets and catalogs will carry different size spools if Amazon doesn't have the one you want. And remember what old fishermen say, fishing is a jerk on one end waiting for a jerk on the other. Tight lines.

If they're less than 1 7/16 in. in diameter and less than 1 3/4 in. high - assuming that you want to stand the spools on end.

Sorry, I don't /haven't used that brand. I do want to say that I only use the standard 500yd spools, so I cannot speak to their use with large cone style spools.

Overall dimensions are 3" by 6", 1/2" thick (due to lighter holder). Once you load with cord and/or lighter, that will determine the overall thickness. This is a very solid spool but still very light. The amount of cord loaded will also determine the overall weight for your bag.

They are 4.5 X2.5 inches. I've been using them for existing holes for years and they do very nicely. Just remember they are only to be used for low voltage wire.

These are 3/4 inch which is the biggest of the set of 3 like the ones made by Pittsburgh - Item#37909 at Harbor Freight which also includes the 1/2 and 3/8 inch sizes $14.99 for set of three. I agree that Texton should tell the diameter also. I took a chance and ordered them and they were not the size I needed either. That is the reason I ordered from Harbor Freight to get the correct size since the price was right & the Pittsburgh pliers are really nice looking pliers and I'm a Snap On person for most tools. Hope this helps.

In the description it states "40 Weight, 500 meters (550 yards) each spool" the 500 m is the length of the thread, the weight is 40. You have the correct thread.

That's funny. They are definitely not 1.6 x 4.2 x 6.1 inches. More along the lines of the smaller dimensions. These are mediums. I know command makes large hooks. Could be the dimensions for large hooks listed on the medium description page.

They are smaller than they look in the picture. They are "standard" size as often found on new tents -- slightly over an inch long, slightly less than a half inch wide. They work great!!!

They are 3 meter length and look to be about 14 gauge wire. I didn't disassemble them to check out the gauge but look to be 14 gauge based on being about the same size as my other 14 gauge speaker wire. I bought them on sale and for the money they are pretty nice and would buy again.

I am not sure if you are asking for dimensions, or how long I've had them. I've been running these with no problems since the purchase date shown on Amazon.

Hi, David! The original typewriter spools are 1-3/4" in diameter and 3/4" high, but finding that size is well-nigh impossible. I found some 2" x 3/4" ones and will have to roll the new ribbon back onto the old spools. Does this help?
