This trimmer is really powerful and worked for all my needs when I have to cut the grass or trim the edge. Only difficulty is to wind the string and I find it little hard.
I got this to upgrade from an old cheap 24v trimmer. Multiple times every time ive used it, on occasion when pressing the trigger it seems to jerk a little but then wont turn on. It refuses to turn on after pulling the trigger multiple times and the only way to get it running again is to completely remove the battery and put it back in. I wouldnt expect this from a high end trimmer when my low end one never had this problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I cannot imagine that you have sold this trimmer and have no alternatives for replacement spools...tells me that you equipment has a design flaw.

Hello there,
While our warehouse is, unfortunately, out of stock this part can be purchased with other retailers such as Menards, Walmart, and more! Just search from part number 2936602/2936602ME, SB00L00, or 2936602.
You may also rewind to spool using .080" line found at your local hardware store!
I am very happy with the purchase. Works as advertised and I was able to clean up my yard. Battery life is good. It would have been nice if the shaft was telescopic so shorter people could usei it more effectively. Overall a great trimmer that meets my needs.
So far it has beeb great, blower is very powerful, actually pushed rocks across my driveway. Weedwhip work great, edges very nicely too. Only concerned about when I go to reload the spool, it is a bit tricky to get everything reseated correctly.
Like another post I purchased to use with a Ryobi universal attachment and it does not work with my Greenworks edger. It starts and then dies after about 2 seconds. I have rechecked the connections several times.
Very annoying because I also purchased the Greenworks unit specifically because of its advertised ability to work with the Ryobi attachments.
