Uchidodo Strimmer Spool for Black and Decker – 6 replacement spools, 30 ft line (0.065 in) with cover and spring
Product description
The essentials
If your Black and Decker strimmer’s cutting line is running short or you simply want a tidy replacement ready for the next tidy-up session, this Uchidodo strimmer spool bundle is aimed at that specific problem. It’s a replacement spool set for models that use an automatic feed system, so you’re not fighting with manual winding when the line needs attention.
It comes as a value pack: six spools plus a spare spool cover and spring. That mix is handy if you tend to keep one spare on hand, or if you’re looking to refresh the line for longer periods rather than replacing bit-by-bit. On paper, it’s designed to be a straightforward swap with no tools required for inserting or removing the spool.
What it does and why people buy it
This product is essentially the consumable part of a trimmer—pre-spooled nylon line and the coil assembly that sits inside the head. The main practical appeal here is the combination of line length and spool design.
The line is listed as polyamide nylon with a diameter of 0.065 in, and each spool includes 30 ft of line. In real-world garden maintenance terms, that translates to fewer reloads for the same patch of lawn or edging work—assuming your cutting style is similar. It also supports continuous use: the line is described as durable and flexible for ongoing work, rather than something you’d expect to be fragile after a few sessions.
There’s also a “fast and clear cut” approach in the description. The spools are made for the automatic feed system, using centrifugal force and aerodynamics to reduce drag. That’s the kind of detail that matters when you want the head to keep feeding properly instead of constantly dragging or leaving you with uneven cutting.
Compatibility (what’s covered and what’s not)
The listing states it’s suitable for a range of Black and Decker grass trimmer models, including GL280, GL301, GL425, GL430, GL4525, GL5028, GL530, GL545, GLC120, GLC13, GLC1823L, GLC1825L, GLC1825N, GLC2000, GLC2500, GLC3000, GLC1423L, GLC3630L20, ST4525, ST5530, ST5530CM, STC1815, STC1820, STC1820CM, STC11820PST, ST1823, ST182320, STC1840, STC1840EPC, BESTE625, BESTE628, BESTE630, BESTA525, BESTA530, BCSTA536, and BCSTE636L1 (among others listed).
It also claims compatibility with certain original coil types (including A6481, A6485, AF-100, AF-100-3ZP, AF-100-BKP, and AF-100-2). That’s useful if you’re trying to match the part rather than rely purely on the model name.
That said, the usual caveat with spool replacements is that “fits most” doesn’t always mean “every version”. If your trimmer head has a different mechanism or expects a different spool/cap arrangement, it may not slot in as smoothly as you’d like—so double-check your current spool/coil reference before buying.

The value pack angle: what you get in practice
Instead of buying a single spool, this set gives you six replacement spools. It also includes a spare spool cover and a spare spring, specifically described as replacements for RC-100P cap and RC-100P spring.
In everyday use, that can matter more than it sounds. If you’ve ever had a trimmer where the head feels “off” after a while, it’s often the cap or internal spring that takes wear. Having spares ready can extend the time between troubleshooting sessions.
One limitation to keep in mind: if your main issue is not the line, but rather the head housing or a worn drive component, then a spool bundle won’t solve that. This is best viewed as a replacement line supply and head consumables pack, not a full repair kit.
Where it shines, and who should skip it
It makes sense if you want:
- Automatic feed replacement spools that reduce the hassle of manual re-winding
- A slightly longer line run per spool (30 ft each, per the listing)
- Spare cover and spring to keep the head operating as intended
It might not be the best match if:
- Your model doesn’t appear in the compatibility list, or your current coil/cap reference doesn’t match what’s described
- You’re expecting a solution for deeper head problems beyond line wear
- You regularly need a different line diameter than the stated 0.065 in (since that’s the key measurable spec here)
How to make sure you’re buying the right spool
Before ordering, it’s worth comparing what you’re removing. The listing mentions the spool can be inserted and removed without tools, which usually means the swap process is fairly simple. Still, confirm:
- The line diameter used by your current spool (0.065 in is the stated diameter)
- That your trimmer head uses an automatic feed system compatible with this style of spool
- That the spool cover and spring align with the described replacements
If you do those checks, the rest should be fairly straightforward—drop in, snap into place, and get back to edging and quick grass control.

What’s included in the box?
The pack includes six replacement trimmer spools, plus one spare spool cover and one spare spring.

Final verdict
Is it worth it?
A solid choice if you’re maintaining a compatible Black and Decker strimmer and you want automatic-feed replacement line with spares in the same pack. The 30 ft per spool and the inclusion of a spare cover and spring are the parts that make it feel more “useful” than a basic single replacement.
You may want to skip it if your trimmer model or your current coil reference doesn’t match what’s listed, or if your issue isn’t actually the line/cap/spring. When compatibility lines up, it’s the kind of replacement bundle that saves you time and keeps the head working without constant manual re-winding.
