Easy order, easy install

Shipped and arrived quickly, no excess packaging. Installed in about 2 minutes. Solved my problem of not advancing string. Worked great. Kind of expensive, but for ease of ordering the correct part and simple, no hassle repair I feel it was with it. I expect many more years of use from my 20 year old string trimmer.
