I could see getting a second one to keep a reloaded one handy on standby, but really, it's no trouble to refill the spool yourself and much cheaper than buying replacements. Can't say enough about the product, it's terrific. I love my Ryobi, I have a gas and an electric one (got tired of dragging the cord around but the electric one still works great).

Works as expected  Dec 03, 2006
By J. Carlson
The spool is plastic and after 6 years of use, it was ready to be replaced. I was dreading the possibility of buying a new trimmer until I saw this on Amazon. The spool was ordered and arrived in 3 days.

Exact replacement, works fine...  Jun 29, 2009
By Bilbo
My old Ryobi trimmer needed a new spool and bump knob (and I couldn't find them locally), so I bought both of them here. Both of them work fine with my old trimmer, and couldn't beat the price for having them shipped to my door.

Perfect replacement for my Ryobi 750R  May 14, 2012
By MattW1980
I must admit that it took a little finagling to get this in properly but now that I know what I'm doing this thing completely resurrected my old Ryobi 750R that was destined for the trash because of a worn out spool cartridge. If you have a working weed eater like I did but just need a replacement spool cartridge then look no further.

This spool fit just right. It was preloaded with line. Had a little trouble loading it that way. Got it mounted. Weed whackamania.
