Bust Through Tough Weeds With STIHL String Trimmer Heads

There are many types and sizes of string trimmers, and the right STIHL weed eater head can help you keep your yard looking neat and orderly. Whether you are shopping on eBay for caps and bolts or an affordable full STIHL trimmer head, here is everything you need to know about buying parts for your STIHL string trimmer.

Tips for choosing the right STIHL trimmer head

Whether you want to change out the line or blades on your trimmer or need to make some repairs, eBay has STIHL string trimmer head parts to help you get the job done right.

These tips are designed to help make sure you get the right ones to keep your weeds at bay.

  • Make sure the parts you choose are compatible with the trimmer you have. Many of the FS trimmer heads are interchangeable, so an FS 55 trimmer head may also fit your FS 90 trimmer.
  • Decide if you want to buy new or used parts since both are readily available for sale on eBay.
  • Do you want to rebuild your current trimmer head, or are you shopping for a STIHL trimmer head replacement?
  • Make sure you have the right tools to take on a STIHL weed eater head removal project. eBay has whole sets of wrenches available to help you out.
Parts and accessories can make the switch easier

There are lots of trimmer heads and parts available for your STIHL weed eater. Here are some of the parts you may find for sale:

  • If you have simply misplaced the shoulder bolts to hold your trimmer head in place, you may find them for sale. That means you may not have to replace the whole head or gears.
  • Entire STIHL weedeater head gear and shield assemblies are available for sale.
  • Caps and knobs for auto and bump feed string trimmers, including the common FS line of trimmers.
Should you consider buying used STIHL string trimmer head parts?

Buying used parts for your weed eater can be a good idea for a couple of reasons.

First, if you are on a budget, used parts may be available at a lower price than new ones.

They may also be in good condition, especially if they were removed when a trimmer was new. Since some people change out trimmer heads to a blade design right out of the box, you might be able to find an almost new spool or cap.

You should also consider that some used trimmer heads may be rebuilt. So, whether you want to buy one already done or plan to rebuild it yourself, that can be a good choice to put a renewed but original part on your weed eater.
