These spools are sold in a 3-pack to save you time and money and are backed by a 2-year full warranty.

I'm not very happy with this product. The way the line is wound around the spool for some reason it will not advance automatically. I have to continuously remove the spool cover and physically advance the line by hand.

Being 'righthanded' with two left hands I have great difficulty to evenly rewind the spool. I am sure the R&D dept. of B&D is capable of developing something to make this 'task' easier, faster and do it better.
Just wondering why they don't. Anyone out there to second a motion?

Easy to replace. So far so good. The 18V trimmer is everything I expected.The line lasts along time if you just have edging to do around your yard that is just grass.

I don't tend to endorse products but I am more than happy with the whole range of B&D 18 volt yard tools. I started purchasing them last year and now own them all. Easy to switch from one tool to another in short time and with lots of batteries (some come with two) I always have fresh. I've found that the weed-eater works well even tho in second year. Spools are too easy to use to bother winding my own!

It seems kind of chinzy for $100, I doubt it will last very long. It does an OK job on the light weeds. The battery doesn't last very long, so it is a good thing it came with 2. They take a long time to charge.
