A little bummed
I had put my product number and part I was looking for in the search and I thought I had gotten the part I was looking for. No dimensions to confirm by picture only and they were wrong. I don't have a clue where they even go. They don't fit on my trimmer anywhere. Not worth the return to me for a few bucks. I will definitely call before I order again. Fantastic service and turn around from order to my hand. That is important to me....but so is getting what I want.
