Choosing The Right Spool & Line
Selecting the correct spool and line for your grass trimmer is crucial for optimal performance. Always check your trimmer's model number before purchasing, as spools are designed to fit specific models. The line thickness matters significantly – 1.5mm line suits lighter domestic trimmers and fine grass, whilst 2mm line provides greater cutting power for thicker vegetation and tougher weeds.
Consider spool length based on your usage frequency. Longer spools (6m-10m) reduce replacement frequency for regular users, whilst shorter lengths (2.5m-3m) suit occasional gardeners. MyToolShed.co.uk clearly labels each product with compatible trimmer models, making selection straightforward. For 240v electric trimmers, ensure your replacement spool matches the original manufacturer's specifications to maintain warranty compliance and safe operation.
Pre-wound spools offer significant advantages over bulk line, including faster changeovers, consistent line feeding, and no tangling issues. Check whether your trimmer uses single-line or dual-line systems, and verify if you need the complete spool assembly or just the line cartridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my trimmer spool?
This depends on usage frequency and grass conditions. For domestic users trimming weekly, expect to replace spools every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Professional landscapers may require replacement after every few jobs. Keep spare spools on hand to avoid downtime.
Can I use any brand of spool in my grass trimmer?
No – spools are model-specific. Using incorrect spools can damage your trimmer's feed mechanism or cause poor cutting performance. MyToolShed stocks manufacturer-compatible replacements from ALM, designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for reliable operation.
What's the difference between 1.5mm and 2mm trimmer line?
Line thickness determines cutting capability. 1.5mm line suits light-duty domestic trimming of fine grass and is ideal for smaller 240v or battery-powered trimmers. 2mm line provides more robust cutting for overgrown grass, weeds and tougher vegetation, typically used with more powerful trimmer models.
