Craftsman Pruner Trimmer Head

This is a replacement knob for a trimmer. The plastic bump knob, which is connected to a spring, is used to secure the spool. A bump knob on a trimmer may get stuck or seized and will need a replacement. Before replacing the bump knob, remove the wire from the spark plug to avoid the accidental starting of the engine. Pull off the trimmer head housing and then use a flat head screwdriver to detach the old knob. Rotate it and then remove the component. Make sure the spring is in place then align the knob before rotating and snapping it in place. Take note that pulling the knob off may take extreme force when pulling. Some knobs are screw-mounted and a counterclockwise turn is necessary to unscrew it. This genuine OEM replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with specific trimmer models from Poulan and Weed Eater.

This is the outer cover for a string trimmer housing. It clips into the bottom of the reel and secures it in place behind the central button. It’s constructed from a rubberized black plastic. This plastic is designed to be as durable as possible, while also flexing slightly when it’s under pressure. The cover serves two primary functions. It holds the reel in place and also acts as a mounting point for the central button. While it’s quite durable, it may eventually wear out due to regular use. A few scratches aren’t going to put a cover out of commission, but look for areas where the plastic has been worn through all the way. Replacing the cover is easy. Simply squeeze the old cover and pop it off the assembly. Position the new cover over the reel, then snap it into place. This cover is used primarily on Husqvarna string trimmers but is also used on some Poulan and Craftsman models. This is an OEM part sourced directly from Husqvarna, and it is sold individually.
