If you are referring to the Worx GT trimmers, this line should work: LoNoiz .065-Inch-by-300-Foot Spool Commercial Grade Spiral Twist Quiet 1/2-Pound Grass Trimmer Line, Blue LN065DS-12You would need to cut 16 foot lengths and then wind it on the spool.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, that is why I purchased 2 of these for replacement line for my Greenworks Weed Eater. Just follow the instructions that you got with your Greenworks on winding the spool with replacement line. I hope this helped you.

I have not had to replace the line yet. However Amazon sells pre-wound spools Toro 88528 3-Pack Dual Line Replacement Spool for 48-Volt Trimmer, 0.065-Inch. I personally went to wal-mart and just bought a spool of 0.065 line i got one that has lines cut into it giving it a star look so it has sharp edges. Which i belive will cut some of the tougher weeds easier.

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.

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.

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

There's really no reason you couldn't buy the line of the same diameter and wind it onto the existing spool but not sure what you're really saving since it's only a plastic spool.

I have not used up my first spool, but from what I have read, you CAN re-spool the line. That will certainly save us some cash for sure. YouTube has many videos showing how to re-spool. Not sure if there is one for Worx weed trimmers, but it should follow the same methods as others.

I've replaced the line spool, not the entire head. Mine's over 15 years old with all original except for fuel lines and grommet and a new spool.

I'm not an expert. I did give this thing a low star rating, and a B&D; representative contacted me. Maybe if you do the same, someone from B&D; will contact you. Or try their website. I'm still pretty frustrated with this thing. I bought some bulk line and wound the existing spool, and it's semi-functional. Good luck.

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.

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

This is it, Andrew. It's an easy swap.....most of the time. Sometimes the old cartridge will be stuck which will require a Moen puller. Moen is not a favorite of mine. I have 1 Moen left. I'm switching to Delta. They are pricey but work better for me.

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?
