Can you replace the trimmer/string head - I would rather use the "Maxpower 1101PT PivoTrim Trimmer head" that I use with my gas trimmer.

If you're asking if the trimmer head on you current trimmer will replace the head on the Makita trimmer, who the hell would know that? Contact the factory. If you're asking if the string head is replaceable on the Makita trimmer. Of course.

Because the Makita trimmer is light duty I'd be reluctant to use another head. I recently bought it and light duty is all I use it for.

The cutting head is a single string and looks like it is the only thing that fits as it connects to the motor directly. Works great though. 3.0 amp battery last quite a while.

Generally the gas heads don't fit the electric trimmer heads. The Makita head only uses one strand from the head. Not nearly the rpms from a gas trimmer. Love the trimmer, light weight & easy to make adjustments to. Not super powerful, but good enough. Now I don't tear the crap out of my fence & gutters.

if you need help with the Fiskars trimmer contact the Fiskar company.. I have contacted them on several occasions for replacement parts and have always been pleased with their help.. one time they replaced a whole head on another pole saw, because they could no longer supply the replacement parts for it.. and I still have that saw/ pruner as well.. they have all the parts for repairing any of their products.. that is why I buy Fiskars..

This tool is for the "extend a" type of gas powered weed string trimmers... my understanding is that it will fit troy troybilt and perhaps some other trimmers. ..

How do you obtain the replacement string for this trimmer? The other brands have replacement spools for their trimmers which are sold through Amazon. I asked Amazon's customer service this question and was given Greenworks' e-mail address but haven't received any response from Greenworks -- is there a "generic" spool that fits this trimmer?

No I just turn the trimmer on it's side and change the handle position. They do offer a trimmer head I be leave. Watch your eyes....And be steady or you will dig a trench if you are not careful.

I bought mine just for that purpose but it did not fit the trimmer.whiich is the GH1000 I ended up using just the inner spool and line. Seems B&D; has made enough of a change in design that this spool does not insert properly into the shaft.

It says it fits any gas trimmer. I bought replacments trim here on Amazon.. I think you could by heavy line and cut your own.

You do not need to replace stringer head, just string. I have not needed to replace string. Weak power, difficult self feeding line. I own many Makita tools this my least favorite.

I am guessing you HAVE to replace the handle, otherwise it would not be a good idea. If so, I do not think the head is too heavy to put the shorter handle on it, but I do like the way it handles with the factory length.

Unfortunately NO. When the manufacturer quit making the units, replacement parts also disappeared. Your charger may still be good, unless it has been damaged, and the battery could now be too weak to recharge. You are not alone in your disappointment. Too bad another manufacturer has not decided to make these handy, useful tools whose parts match all those Total Trimmer users.

Not if you just buy the replacement head. All the individual parts are available on the web if you need additional parts.

This head is to big for your trimmer it is for commercial trimmers you will burn up your trimmer find a smaller one.

Not having ever heard of greenworks power head 21142, I can only guess. One ad. says it accepts most gas trimmer attachments.

I had an old Roybi trimmer that died and replaced it with the reconditioned one. And yes the old attachments work with this power head.

very unlikely. The device is designed for gas powered trimmers. due to the additional weight of the new head and arms it stresses the drive shaft and the power source well above the levels that an electric is designed to operate.

I have direct experience only with Honda's string trimmer and the Pivotrim Pro (greatly improves the result), but you may find this Youtube video to be the answer for your question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MnBYqs56oI

If it uses the same shift as the gas powered, then yes. This cutter is more robust than a string trimmer so power wise, the battery may not hold up long.
