This reel is a genuine MTD replacement part for a lawn trimmer, which is designed to cut grass, shrubs, bushes, and weeds. The function of a reel in a lawn trimmer is to collect the line in the reel housing and then unspool the line from the housing while the lawn trimmer is in use. Within the lifespan of a lawn trimmer, it is likely that the reel will suffer some damage. This might result in issues with unspooling the line, rendering the lawn trimmer impossible to use. Damage to the reel might occur as a result of general wear and tear, overuse, exposure to the elements, or collision with the ground or another object; additionally, the reel could suffer from gradual deterioration in the form of anything from small cuts and nicks to serious piercings and erosion. If the reel is damaged to the point that the lawn trimmer is unusable, the reel should be removed and replaced immediately. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This reel is compatible with the following brands: MTD and Craftsman. This part sold individually.
