Can you please tell me if you carry a grass trimmer that DOESN'T have string cutting? In other words, do you have something with a PLASTIC head?t

We do not stock a grass trimmer the doesn't use the string to cut. We do stock an edger model #LE750. This is equipped with a metal cutting blade.

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.

I purchased mine through AMAZON at the same time I purchased my shredder. LawnMaster customer service is excellent and should be able to arrange one if AMAZON no longer carries the replacement. My original resharpened very nicely and did not have to be replaced as yet. The extra I purchased is still in the shipping envelope it came in. Good luck and enjoy the rest of the summer.TomTD

I did not find any at Home Depot. The B&D; design appears different from most others.This trimmer head is a very poor design I would not buy it. I believe lots of people are upset with this product.I had to jury rig the trimmer. Got rid of the spool and attached a line with a hose clamp to the center post and put the cap back on.It works but vibrates allot. But works for the little I use it.

It's a string trimmer in a housing. From my experience, if they are green and soft it does a decent job. The tough ones like roses will not shred. It will break them but not much more.

The trimmer worked fine but the issue for me was the stupid self feeding feature that, for all practical purposes, requires you to buy the factory wound string. They copied the marketing strategy used by ink jet printers; they work fine with a good price point but soak you for the ink. Most trimmers are like this now. I searched and found a Ryobi (Model # RY41131, $70 on line through home depot) that comes with a pre-cut line head and an old bump and feed head. I love it and I don't have to shell out a ton of money for spools.

Hey Debra, I bought mine from Amazon, it's a flimsy POS which does not cut anything. Even the best trimmer is not a proper tool to clear an acre of thorny bush. I've done mine with Tramontina sugar cane machete, that's the best tool I've found. If you are a strong person buy a powerful gas propelled Stihl weed cutter and replace the string unit with a saw blade. You'll need tall boots or the brambles you just cut will turn your legs into a burger. Best solution - hire Jose and Pepe who know how to use a machete or just one guy with a skid steer and a bush hog and save yourself a lot of trouble.

If you're asking about string trimmer, the answer is yes- no tools required. Should take less than a minute. Just make sure you pay attention as you take it apart so you can reassemble in proper position. I trim a half acre lot every other week and probably only use 2 rolls per season ( about 5-6 months near Phila)

I don't use one. I think it's better to leave the cover on and mulch it into the grass. I clean it each time I finish mowing.

Yes, it does. This trimmer comes with a pre-loaded string head, a turf blade meant for heavy growth like hay & witch grass and all of the adapters necessary for attaching brush blades. It also has two different cover guards designed for each application. It's a great trimmer/light brush cutter for the money.

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.

I was asked by Amazon if I had an answer to your question. Unfortutanetly at this time, I have yet to use the bagger for grass much less leaves.

It is not designed to have the cutting head removed. It might be possible to adapt it, but I would not buy it with the idea of using the pole for other purposes.

Hi. My trimmer is using string at a very reasonable pace. so, I think there is something wrong with yours or you are doing something I am not. I am using mine for mostly just grass, as opposed to trying to whack down tiny trees, wild plants in a field, etc- maybe they break the string. Also- do not bang the trimmer on the ground as if to get the string to lengthen- the instructions warn against that and it is a challenge for me since my previous trimmers all required me to bang it on the ground to feed the line. Hope this helps.

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.

The Husqvarna brushcutter does not have a fixed head available. Just the bump feed head is offered.

I tried cutting bushes with it. It's insufficient. Hard to hold and does not cut anything very thick.,, however I love the small cutting grass unit.I have 2 of them. When the battery goes down on one I have the other all charged. I never use the longer blade.
