Discussion for the Black And Decker GH400 Type 3 12 String Trimmer
It's never good when a tool outlasts the availability of parts for said tool. The manufacture has discontinued that part with no substitute or replacement part number. You may have to do some serious web searching to locate one or try to fabricate one that will work.
Good luck,

I bought a handle from Lehman's. It is not the same as the handle that was originally on the trimmer, but it is sure better than no handle. I think you can buy these other places, too. It is called "Stout's Backsaver Grip." They have a website: link removed Hope this helps.
The spool housing on my GH400 type 3 trimmer does not attach tothe motor spindal anylonger. Is there a replacement part for that? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks

Unfortunately the Spool Housing was sold as part of the motor assembly which has been discontinued. I did also check with Black & Decker and they no alternative. I think it is time for a new trimmer. :(
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Yeah I thought so. Problem is the rest of the unit is in mint condition. But you are right. Time for a new one. If anyone needs parts off this one let me know and we can work out postage.
