Some reviews mentioned that it is not a continuous spool. Is there more than one splice within?

Can't say about what other folks got. The first one I ordered was continuous and the second one has been continuous so far.

Mine is a continuous spool and I've been very happy with the quality. I can't speak for anyone else, but splices are highly unusual in rope with a woven outer covering.

I'm not an expert. I did give this thing a low star rating, and a B&D; representative contacted me. Maybe if you do the same, someone from B&D; will contact you. Or try their website. I'm still pretty frustrated with this thing. I bought some bulk line and wound the existing spool, and it's semi-functional. Good luck.

Yes there is one on the trimmer when you by it and replacements are available from worx.. one also comes with replacement spools..

I am far away from home right now or would tell you the size of three wire. It is fairly heavy-duty, I'm guessing 4 Guage With heavy waterproof covering. I see no reason why you couldn't splice the wires.

That would be 8 spools. I don't know if it's rated to withstand the current demand

Each of the ribbon posts have a large lip on the end of them. You do not need that lip, so I suggest that you cut off that lip, and the spool will come right off of the post.

This is a very simple rudimentary spool for cords. It's just a place to wind your cord. To answer your question, you can allow any amount of cord to be unwound at one end. However if you want some unwound cord at the other (buried) end, when you start winding it on the spool, leave your desired length unwound before you wind up the rest.

The model no of the spool that I purchased for it is 88512. I am sorry I bought the trimmer though, because it is impossible for me to install a new spool on it. Because it is a dual spool, one line goes one way and the other goes the other way. I just had my 55 y.o.son try to do it for me and he could not do it either. So now I have a trimmer and 2 spools that I can't use. Excuse the venting. You didn't ask how I liked it, but had to get it out.

Inside of the spool is a clip to attach the wire, but the clip is for a small gauge wire. Without that clip the spool cannot reel in the cord. Do you have something that accommodates a 12-3 gauge wire to substitute?

I just called B&D customer svc. and they said that these spools are refillable. I personally wasn't going to purchase these if they weren't but knowing this now, I can have 4 spools total that are filled and ready to go.

I had to splice mine but if it is long enough without splicing that has to be fine. No problems with splicing mine.

I have not yet changed the line on my GH710 but am almost positive it uses 2 pieces of line. I buy precut refills that I wind on the spool myself. I have found the line more that adequete thickness to not only trim along side of house, but even edge around the drive way and sidewalk. You either got a defective line spool or you are not using the trimmer according to directions, be sure you read directions for optimum use. I have had absolutely no problem with it honestly.

Yes, spool is self feeding. I have never had a problem with the line not feeding. They just don't last very long

Yes, that is the model I have. The spools do unwind when you install them. My current one had to be untangled several times before it got into a rhythm. They work so I am about to order again.

Yes you can tear off any length you want. The spool is just tensioned, it does not have any set ratcheting length where it stops.

It doesn't have a start thread like plastic spools, but I didn't have any problem finding the beginning of the thread and I've used several of the spools.

You can basically do either. I have done both and either works OK. It is easier of course to get the pre-wound factory units and they do package them in such a way, that they do not become unwound during transit, unlike the unit I received, the spool was unwound to start, so I had to redo it anyways. I'd say try both and see what you prefer, but both apply in any case, just depends on the individual I would say. The factory does do a good job and getting them wound perfect however. I suspect a machine does this by the perfection of the winde myself.
