I somewhat agree with the guy from Vegas that this is a waste of money, EXCEPT that this is about the only way to get extra spools for your Black & Decker weed whacker. Note that you can buy a spool of 600 feet of .065 line from Amazon (Desert Extrusion brand, price is $8.80 for 600 feet in March 2007). Then, with the bulk line, plus these 3 spools, plus the spool that came with the weed whacker you can have up to 4 spools ready to rock and roll at minimal cost. Unlike the guy from Vegas, it takes me more than 2 minutes to hand-wind a spool, but not a lot longer, it’s pretty easy to do, my main advice being I find it better to not try and wind more than 25 feet onto a spool even though it presumably can hold 30 feet of line. Everytime I wind more than 25 feet I get a lot of jams until the line gets those extra few feet chewed off. Hope this helps.

Underpowered, horrible battery life, shoddy construction
Very disappointing. Battery life is 15-20 minutes, very little power. Don’t even think about using this on tough weeds; it barely cuts grass.

Product is just like I expected. Shipped in brown box. I ordered two sets and they came just as I wanted. Perfection.

Black & Decker Trimmer Line
I like the convenience of the Black & Decker cordless trimmer and the automatic line advancement feature, but it went through the 1st spool in only 3 quick sessions on an average…

What the other reviewers fail to mention, maybe because they failed to try, is that the AFS on the trimmer continues to work flawlessly with hand wound string, and at less than 1/4 the cost it’s seems like a huge waste to buy the pre-wound spools. It only takes 2 minutes to rewind a spool, so even when I do run out in the middle of a job, I just look at it as a 2-minute break from yard work. Of course, if your one and only concern is convenience, you may be looking at the right product. Be aware, if you’ve had trouble with rewinding trimmers in the past, it may be because you’re using old line, which tends to get brittle over time. Buy some new line and try again. If you buy the three-pack of spools three times, you just paid for your trimmer again.
Thanks for reading,

ps. Two stars for effort, but the cost is just ridiculous.

Amazon-great source for these hard to find items.
We attempted to buy these replacement reels for our Black & Decker string trimmer locally and were unsuccessful. Amazon offered these at a great price and we jumped at it.

A better value than I expected
I really hesitated before purchasing a cordless Black & Decker weed eater, in part because of the automatic-feed string system.

Incorrect product for edger
Incorrect item. The spools were supposed to be the double stringed ones for a newer grass hog edger.

Cheap Chinese Junk
This stuff sticks to itself and jambs up the weed wacker every 30 seconds,you would be much better off finding some quality string and winding your own spools.

weed eater
When I saw the weed eater on the info commercial, I really hedged to buy it. But I did not worry about it if it was on amazon.com.

Good But a Tad Pricey
I usually rewind my old spools but needed some newer ones. I really like to auto feed of this design.
