- Reviewed in Canada on June 30, 2021Verified PurchaseSo it didn’t work for my application and I knew it wasn’t going to but I thought I try anyways but it is well built feels like it would last a bit hard to say how the bump action will hold up but from I worked on with it and trying to get it to work on my echo it felt fine and price wasn’t bad either

- Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2023Verified PurchaseThis replacement trimmer head works perfectly with my STIHL straight shaft trimmer. The speed feed works great and it came with the proper adaptor for my trimmer. Easy to install and highly recommended..
- Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2022Verified PurchaseI took a chance and ordered this for my Makita Trimmer. I was initially disappointed that there was not an adapter that would work, however, I was quickly able to tap the red adapter that came with it, the red adapter insert is close in size to the Makita insert and it tapped nicely.
It would be nice if this was a real universal head replacement and if it was I would give it a 5 star rating, that being said, I don't think that it was ever intended to be installed on a cordless Makita, non the less, I made it work.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2025Verified PurchaseDoes not fit a Milwaukee trimmer as advertised. The Milwaukee heads suck. But there is a recess in the top that allows the head to tighten down on the plate. With this head, the plate continues to spin after the trimmer head stops.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2023Verified PurchaseMy Oregon trimmer head arrived quickly. They provided necessary attachments for my husquava trimmer . It is easy to thread and wind. Very happy with it.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2022Verified PurchaseIt is of no value to me because it did not say that it only works on gas trimmers. If i had checked further i would not have bought it. Otherwise i do not know how it works or give a good or bad review of this trimmer. It sounds wonderful and i thought it would be good but like i said, it doesnot work on non gas trimmers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product - non-existent instructions
Verified PurchaseThe other day, I got so frustrated with trying to reload my Stihl Line Trimmer that I just threw it all away and said, "There has to be a better way". THIS IS IT! It's so easy to load and does an outstanding job of cutting the weeds and grass. I told my wife, "This could be one of the best purchases I have ever made".
There are lots of adaptors and parts that come with it, so it can be used on a variety of trimmer brands, but THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO INSTRUCTIONS!!! Once again, thank God for YouTube and the people who are willing to share their expertise with us nincompoops. Once I saw which adapter I was supposed to use, and how to put it together, everything fell into place. I just don't understand how a manufacturer can offer a product this good, and fit so many different models, but offer absolutely NO INSTRUCTION. Why couldn't they at least put a QR Code leading to a website that shows how to install it. Very aggravating, but the frustration was offset by the joy of knowing I'll never have to load a standard trimmer head again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only for petrol trimmers.
Verified PurchaseThis head only fits on petrol trimmers as they have a left hand thread. Electric and battery trimmers have a right hand thread as they rotate in the opposite direction. Hmm.
Nothing in the ad or in the packet stating this.

5.0 out of 5 stars How it comes apart
Verified PurchaseThis is a great product…. Only thing that you have to make sure of is take a picture of how it comes apart.
If you have to change the threaded spindle to fit your machine make sure it goes back together the same way.
