Poor parts. Cannot replace new cord Line.


General Comments

The Spear & Jackson SPJBC28 is a good strimmer until you run out of cord. Cannot comment on Blade as I have never used it. Bought last year & never had to replace cord line until now.
Referred to both handbook & Help line, problem is that the retainer knob holding the spool in place is meant to come off when turned anticlockwise, it doesn't & now I'm fuming with anger as the so-called HELPLINE is only an answering machine. I'm still awaiting a call back.

    Yeah, same thing happened to me. The main nut that screws down the cutting head tightens up under use. When you try to remove it (reverse thread) the nut simply turns in its plastic housing. Bad design on an other wise good machine. Oh and customer service is very frustrating... I was going to buy a Spear & Jackson leaf blower, but this lack of service is putting me off!
