A flange nut's unique wide flange design distributes the nut's pressure over the part it is securing. In return, it creates an even fastening surface, which reduces part damage and nut loosening. This one-piece all-metal fastener has a lock nut version that features a protruding circular flange. This drastically increases bearing surface, compatibility either for irregular or oversized holes, and surface tension reduction. Flange lock nuts are the preferred type of fastener for many lawnmower models because it can provide better fastening than regular screws, which are known to loosen under extreme vibration. However, it’s important to know that flange lock nuts are susceptible to wear and tear due to constant vibration exposure. It is essential to replace the broken flange lock nut immediately to prevent serious damage to the lawnmower.

Bump head trimmers use the impulse of a bump against the earth to release a measured amount of cutting twine from the spool. In actual use, this happens so quickly that an observer may not realize the user has bumped for more twine and resumed trimming. A simple but absolutely necessary piece of this procedure is the bump head spring that sits beneath the plastic bump cover and the cutting head. The spring signals the cutting head to release twine. While this system functions quite well and is the default method used by most grass trimmers, it should be noted that the spring can fail for a couple of reasons. First is simple overuse, revealed when the spring doesn't produce enough bounce back to cause the spool to release twine. This is the result of constant bumping. A second problem that arises is the stress the spring undergoes when twice spools are constantly changed. It is often the case that springs are incorrectly placed and bent in the process. When replacing the spring, it's essential to use one like this one, an OEM certified replacement that identically matches the original. This spring is compatible with Craftsman, Bolen, and Troy-Bilt trimmers.
