This is the best.....Its easy to load.....the string never binds or gets tangled......for me it's pure satisfaction. Here's the down side.....usually when I find something this satisfying it discontinued

The plastic spacer provided is too thick to allow the head to screw on to the shaft of the Echo. Assembly without the spacer causes the head to make contact with the plastic frame. Operating without spacer installed could burn out the trimmer. Discarded spacer and used several flat washers instead and head now screws on and works correctly, Quick fix if you realize the problem and have a selection of washers available, real problem if not. Good product otherwise.

I notice trying to trim flat the blue keeps hitting the ground and wears out. So I now trim at an angle so the blue is off the ground the trim shortest. UNIVERSAL FITS MOST BRANDS OF TRIMMERS.

The signature blue tapper easily breaks after minimal use. I've had my Husky for two summers now after buying it new from Lowes in May of 2012. I had to replace it last August(2012) and again this year it busted while tapping (September 2013). Unfortunately you cannot buy just the blue tapper to replace, you have to buy the entire spooling head which runs anywhere from $28 - $50 depending on where you get it. So needless to say I have several working spool heads and no tappers left... It's costing more than I want to spend to keep it running

My 43cc strimmer destroyed its flimsy Original Equipment spool after just 2 usages so I was forced to swiftly shop around for a quality replacement. The T35 slotted straight in and immediately proved to be more than up to the job running 3mm square wire through my rock strewn gorse and heather thicket. It has taken a fair number of hard knocks in the process but despite a few battle scars it's soldiering on undaunted. I would certainly buy another.

I bought off EBAY a powerful 43cc HGF (German make) multi-tool: strimmer, brushcutter, chainsaw lopper and hedge trimmer. It came part-assembled and my confidence in it grew as I put the parts together, they were robust and well engineered .... except for the strimmer spool which felt insubstantial. Sure enough, it lasted two uses before it burst apart scattering its component parts to the 4 winds! MacGregors groundcare division in Inverness sold me a T35 and a reel of 3mm square nylon line, a combination that has made short work of my rocky ground with its heather, tussocky grass, gorse and birch seedlings. It has taken a good few knocks and scrapes in the process, stalled completely on one occasion when the machine snarled up on a hidden length of Polypropylene string, but has kept doing its job perfectly despite the hard work and a bit of unintended abuse. It is easy to re-string and if I ever manage to wear it out I'll certainly buy another, Husqvarna designers and engineers know their stuff and have created a 1st class product.
