    Replacement head for Ryobi String Trimmer

    After the bump spool jammed twice on Saturday morning on my string trimmer I went out yesterday and got a side-load aftermarket replacement head. Unfortunately there weren't any bolts included that fit my trimmer. Would a different brand head work? Would it be possible to find a reverse-thread bolt of the size I need?

    The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

    I have a cman trimmer and went into the blue box and got a "universal" adaptor head for it that takes think plastic cutting strips. It has 2 sprung loaded slots to slide the line into so you end up with a 4 line cutter. I think it was made by shakespere.

    Overal a big improvment on the bump thing that came with it.

      I replaced the one on my weed eater with a grass gator form the borg. It loads from the side and uses the heaviest string you can find, I think I have .090 in mine. It gives you four cutting lines and made a big difference in mine
