Homelite/Ryobi - Spool Retainer Rh Threads,Blac - 308042002

Much better replacement than the last one I bought on eBay for my 2005 Homelite UT20004B trimmer. Yes, it's coming up on being 11 years old this summer and still running well. Only thing I had to change was this same part a few times now as they wear out over time from bumping out the line. The original part number for my trimmer was A98866A, but this part number 308042002 is exactly the same.

Gets the job done. Not as durable as the factory, but works.

Easy to install, worked as expected

The original spool retiner that came with the Ryobi trimmer I purchased in 2005 had a bolt that was not captive/sealed like this is. So, the bolt finally dropped and got lost. Took a chance by ordering this and tried it today. It works!! Great to find replacement parts for an ancient trimmer.

As others have written, the plastic is too soft around the bolt head, and after working a few times, trying to unscrew the bolt eventually strips the bolt head opening. Luckily, the plastic is so weak/soft, a pair of pliers removed it from the bolt head so I could unscrew the bolt with a wrench. Don’t waste your money.

Have been trying to find this part for some time. Toro does not show it available any longer, but this one fit perfectly

Husband was AMAZED with how just by replacing this part, his weed eater was like a brand new tool! It's a 10 year old tool, that will last many more years! If your weed eater just won't feed the string, and you thinks it's broken, try this part. It'll change your weed eating experience!

It fit my Ryobi 4 cycle s430 just like the original part

Perfect match, works great

Perfect match.
