Not always a replacement like they said it would be

Very disappointed with the outcome of this purchase. It was supposed to be a direct replacement for my 40V Kobalt trimmer. It did not fit, and when I considered returning it, there would be a net expense to me. Never again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Tim Swanson,
Thank you for your feedback. We sorry to hear the part was not compatible with your string trimmer. We kindly recommend contacting Kobalt directly for inquiries on replacement parts to ensure that you purchase the correct parts for your string trimmer.
I’ve been happy with my 48v duel battery trimmer. Until I had to replace the trimmer string. I’ve ordered 3 different ones non of them fit… why do you have to make sooo many?
Such a great product and addition to my Greenworks 80v mower and blower. I love that the speed of the motor is adjustable during use and not just an “on/off”.
It didn’t fit my trimmer. It’s the 3rd one I have purchased. I’m beyond frustrated

I'm a guy who likes to tinker on small engines as a hobby. And I drive a diesel. So I would be the last guy to go electric. But a buddy let me try his 80v string trimmer and wow -- now I'll never go back!
I'm thrilled with the ease of use. Zero prep time, just start cutting. It cuts the total job time in half. And the battery life is amazing. I can do 3 full trims and still don't need to charge it. Highly recommend.
