MOECSHSY 1.6mm double autofeed strimmer spool line (Flymo-compatible) – 4 pack
Product description
Quick overview
If your Flymo strimmer starts feeling more like a chore than a tidy-up tool, a replacement spool and line can make a noticeable difference. This MOECSHSY 4 pack is designed as an autofeed system replacement for several Flymo models in the Contour / MiniTrim / MultiTrim families, using a 1.6mm double line.
On paper, the main appeal is practical: you swap the worn spool out, and the autofeed mechanism uses centrifugal force to feed out more line when needed. That’s the sort of feature that saves time versus hand-winding, especially if you’re doing regular edging or clearing light overgrowth around paths and borders.
That said, it’s still a replacement consumable. If your trimmer has other issues (like a damaged cutting head or blocked feed parts), a new spool won’t fix the underlying problem.
What it’s for (and what you’ll notice in use)
This product is meant for day-to-day strimming when the existing line has gone short, frayed, or doesn’t feed reliably. The autofeed approach is there to reduce manual spool work, so you spend more time cutting and less time rebuilding.
A small, real-world example: imagine you’re trimming along a driveway edge. As the line wears down, the trimmer head can draw out fresh line automatically as you keep working. Without that, you often end up stopping, removing the spool, and winding new line—fine if it’s occasional, but frustrating when you’re just trying to get the job done.
It also claims “less drag for more efficient cuts”. In practical terms, that’s the kind of wording you’d look for if you find your current line drags, bogs down, or seems to underperform in thicker grass. Whether you’ll feel a big jump depends on your exact conditions, but it’s clearly aimed at improving cutting feel rather than just being a bare replacement.
Key takeaways on compatibility
Compatibility is the make-or-break point with strimmer spools. This pack is listed as compatible with a range of Flymo models, including Contour, Contour XT, Contour 500, Contour 500 Power Plus, Contour 500XT, Contour 700, Contour 700 Power Plus, plus CTXT25 and several EIT / ET / MET230 twin variants. It also covers multiple MiniTrim Auto and Mini Trim / Multi Trim models (250D/250DX/300D/300DX).
It’s a solid list, but do take a moment to cross-check your exact model name from your machine’s label or manual. The wording “compatible with” can still be model-sensitive, and the last thing you want is to buy a spool that looks right but doesn’t fit properly.
What stands out (pros)
The strongest selling points here are the consumable and usability angles:
- Autofeed replacement spool approach: designed to reduce the tedious work of hand-winding.
- 1.6mm double line: a clear line size you can match to your tool’s requirements.
- Material claim: the line is made from ABS and nylon resin fabric, positioned for flexibility and durability.
- No tools installation: it says you can remove the old spool and replace it without extra tools.
- 4 pack value: useful if you prefer having replacements ready rather than waiting until the line is completely done.
Limitations to consider (when it might not suit)
This is not a “universal for everything” type of buy. If your Flymo model isn’t in the listed compatibility range, you may have fit or functionality issues.
Also, while it aims to be more efficient with “less drag”, line performance can vary depending on grass type, how thick the growth is, and how aggressively you’re trimming. If you tend to tackle long, tough growth regularly, you may still find you need more frequent line changes—autofeed helps, but it doesn’t make the line last forever.
Finally, it won’t be the solution if your cutting head has mechanical faults. If the feed system is jammed or worn out, a new spool may feel like a quick fix—but it can be money wasted if the underlying problem remains.
How to install and what to check before buying
Installation is described as straightforward: remove the old spool line and replace it with the new one, with no additional tools required. That’s the sort of setup that suits most homeowners.
Before you buy, it’s worth checking: - Your exact Flymo model (not just the general series name). - Whether your current system uses an autofeed spool (this listing is aimed at autofeed replacement). - Your preferred line size. This pack is for 1.6mm double line, so don’t assume it matches if your machine requires a different gauge.
If those align, this becomes a practical “keep a spare set” purchase rather than an experiment.

Mini FAQ
Questions people ask before buying
Will this work with my Flymo Contour?
It’s listed for several Contour models (including Contour, Contour XT, Contour 500 and more). Confirm your exact model number/name to be safe.
Is it suitable for MiniTrim and MultiTrim too?
The compatibility list includes multiple MiniTrim Auto and Mini Trim variants, plus MultiTrim 250D/250DX/300D/300DX. Again, match the exact model.
Does it replace the spool only, or the whole head?
The description focuses on replacing the spool line as an autofeed system replacement. It’s not framed as a complete cutting head replacement.
Is manual winding still needed?
The point of this spool is to reduce manual winding by using an autofeed mechanism. If your machine’s feed doesn’t function properly, you may still end up troubleshooting.
Final verdict
Should you buy it?
It’s worth considering if you own one of the listed Flymo models and you want an autofeed spool line replacement in 1.6mm double form—especially if you’re fed up with hand-winding and want a simple swap with spares in a 4 pack.
It may not be the best match if your Flymo model isn’t on the compatibility list, if your trimmer’s issue is mechanical (not just line wear), or if your tool requires a different line size/gauge. In those cases, it can be smarter to resolve the root cause or confirm the correct line specification first.
