                  Short life span
                  I bought this for my 7 year old Ryobi gas powered weed eater, which still runs great but the head was cracked. Replacement head only lasted for 2 hours of run time before plastic parts started to wear down & stripped. Wouldn't recommend for the gas trimmers.

                    The Ryobi bump feed worked exactly as anticipated, it installed easily and works perfectly. The cord advances as expected.

                    Easily broken
                    I bought this trimmer head thinking it would be an easy swap out for my Ryobi trimmer. Turns out, it is easy to break if you don’t get everything seated properly. Now I can’t get it off to return it. Frustrating.

                        This weed eater is trash and requires constant money.
                        Cost $30 for a replacment head that last one year or less with use and is a complete rip off needs to be a class action suit against these defective heads they keep selling. This is my 3rd head in 3 years, and never have ever had this issue on other weed eaters..... Complete joke.....

                          Melt Down On First Use
                          REEL EASY+ Bump Feed String Head with Speed Winder Cannot recommend this replacement head at all. Had a literal melt down the first time I used it rendering it questionable to use for safety reasons. Don’t know if the destroyed parts are necessary or just waiting to throw plastic shrapnel in all directions. I used this head only once and other than the winding mechanism, it’s a complete failure in my opinion. Bought this because it looked like a good option for loading the line on the head. Put it on the trimmer without much difficulty. I watched the video and that was easy to follow. The instructions are not really precise, and the print is small for my less than perfect eyes. Winding mechanism worked well. There is some wobble as the speed winder does not lock onto the knob and has to be wound on a single plane. Started doing my yard work and noticed immediately that the trimmer wasn’t cutting as expected. I had to tilt the head more than normal to trim the grass from my sidewalks. Looking closely at the new head compared to the old, it appears the knob and housing raise the distance from the surface about ¼ inch more than the older head. The spacer may also add a bit more distance, but overall, it is definitely taller than the original head. So now I have to tilt the trimmer a bit more to get a closer (shorter) cut. Ran out of string and saw that the line had actually jammed inside the reel. The outside string had worked itself into the ‘bump’ gap. Couldn’t pull it out so disassembled the head. Looked inside and found the string had actually fused itself to the spool. You can see the orange remnants of the string I cleared off and how it actually melted a groove into the spool. The white line guide actually tore/melted itself apart. Those are the two white pieces on the bottom of the picture. I can’t be sure, but it also appears the alignment tabs on the upper housing were also worn down and possibly tabs on the lower housing. Can’t be sure because I don’t remember what it looked like before I used it and nothing to compare it to. I don’t know if the white line guide is critical so I did not remount this head. I still had the original head and put it back on to finish the yard. The string jam (string getting caught through the bump gap) never happened in nearly 30 years of use of the older system. This new head has some definite durability issues. I would have returned it, but had already tossed the packaging and it’s not worth the time or effort for $31. For now, I will stick with the older head. It may be inconvenient to load, but at least it lasts and I don’t have to worry about any safety issues.
