Oregon Jet Fit 2 Line Easy Load Aluminium Universal Strimmer Head, Trimmer Head for Grass, Weeds & Thick Vegetation, with FlexiBlade 4.0mm Trimmer Line, Fits Most Straight Shaft Strimmers Over 25cc

The media could not be loaded. I don't know about you, but I hate the bump heads that most strimmer manufacturers supply as standard. They are always playing up, re-spooling with is a nightmare and they are just more trouble than they are worth! I wanted a strimmer head that was easy to use and had a simple system for changing the chord. This Oregon Jet-Fit is absolutely brilliant!It is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle working out how to fit the head, there are several different sized washers and it is just a case of trial and error. There are no instructions. See the video for how I fitted it to my Honda strimmer. In all fairness it is not difficult to sort out. The manufacturer states that it will fit almost all makes and models.This is the second Jet -Fit head I purchased, the first was returned because I wanted to use the thickest Flexiblade (4mm) and the head that I ordered would not take 4mm. So be careful when ordering as there is very little information on the pages as to the size of Flexiblade these heads will accommodate.I have a large area of scrub to clear, some of it very thick. I have been using the Oregon Brushcutter Blade very successfully, but this is a metal blade and is not very practical for general strimming. It keeps striking rocks and stumps under the scrub and strimming up to walls and fences is difficult, with the Jet-Fit this is not a problem. So now that I have moved on to an area that requires scrub and general strimming activities I need a head with strimmer chord. The Jet-Fit deals with the thick scrub, see the video, but it does tend to wear out the Flexiblade quickly on the very thick stuff. On the video the scrub was just thick and there was not an issue with the Flexiblade chord.I absolutely love the Jet-Fit it deals with everything with ease. Changing the chord is very quick and easy. It is a joy to use. One thing I did notice is that the description says it is supplied with 3mm and 4mm Flexiblades. I bought a spool of 4mm flexiblade and it is way thicker than the blades supplied. I have been using the spool not the supplied blades. The Flexiblade is very hard and you need to decide whether you want to buy a spool and snip it (which is a little difficult for the 4mm) or buy the pre-cut lengths. I would advise you to get some flexiblades with the head if you decide to get it as it only comes with 2 precut lengths of each diameter.If you are looking for a good all round strimmer head for a number of different tasks, this is the head for you. I would suggest going for the 4mm flexiblade if you are intending to strim thick brush. I do not think you will be disappointed with this product.

These are so much easier to use than a normal bump feet the line does not break but it does wear down but overall very good

I'm a retired builder, so it isn't as if I have a lack of practical, common sense. This head comes without any instructions whatsoever, and it is left up to you to figure it out. I appreciate that there are many configurations of brushcutter spindles etc, but Oregon could at least explained what you were trying to achieve. It comes with a wide variety of washers, intended to allow you to make the head work for your machine, if you can work it out. My Husky brushcutter was easy, just one washer, and once I had worked out what to do with the bush I was in business, but I fear this will not be the case for those unfamiliar with all this. If I had used it on my Stihl machine I would require extra parts, not included.If you are not practically minded I would strongly recommend you buy this head from a local dealer, and have him fit it on the counter.I have yet to use it, but it looks well made, like all Oregon stuff. After spending £50 on a big spool of Jet cord to go with it I'm hoping it is a success, but nothing can be more frustrating than the bump heads, and I get through three of those a year.

I bought this to attach to my new Honda UMK42E. I was sick of 2-stroke motors and crappy bump and release spool mechanisms. I bought this largely on the strength of the reviews on this Site. I think the only negative review I saw was from a professional gardener who took issue with the waste and cost. I am not a professional. I don't care if there is a little extra cost as long as I never have to spool another strimmer line onto another reel.....life is too short. I just tried this out the other day for the first time. In short it was fantastic. Fitting it was extremely simple. My strimmer came with some connections suitable for attaching a brush cutter and, importantly, the nut which secures the device to the drive shaft. I guess there are so many variations we cannot expect Oregon to provide this. But still if you don't have all the bits and bobs to connect a brush cutter you may be faffing around having to find a nut that fits. In operation it is brilliant. I cut for 40 minutes using the same two 4mm lines. It cut through brambles, nettles and tall grass. Even the tall grass doesn't get wrapped around the shaft (although that is probably as much to do with the Honda attachments as anything else). After 40 minutes the lines had reduced by about 40%, so I replaced them in 20 seconds! I cant believe that all strimmer's don't come with this mechanism.
