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

I mainly cut brambles and similar vegetation.. I had a bump head that constantly jammed. I’ve also tried a metal blade but that suffered if it hit rocks and it does not mulch the cuttings, so I had to remove them to leave a tidy job. I also tried a Stihl DuroCut head, which is similar to the Jet Fit but does not take the excellent Oregon Techni Blade line. The Jet Fit is easily the best. It’s easy to change the lines and it works very well on tough brambles with 7mm Techni Blade line. It mulches up the cuttings well, so I don’t bother to remove them, which saves a lot of time compared to a metal blade. Some reservations. The 7mm Oregon Techni Blade line that I use on brambles lasts pretty well but is really expensive. I am reluctantly prepared to bear the cost for the convenience. For grass or light vegetation cheaper line would probably be fine. Inevitably, about half the length of each pre-cut line is wasted because some of it is inside the head and when the line gets very short it needs to be changed. With a bump head, in theory, all the line is used. So maybe it is not so good from an environmental perspective. The fitting instructions are practically non-existent. I’m not sure if I have it correctly attached but it works. The packaging involves a huge amount of plastic and is ridiculous. There is no indication of how to open it and it seems to be impossible to do so without breaking it.

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.

This system is very good, there are a lot of pros and a few cons, so overall I am pleased with the product. If you are going to purchase the head, i would suggest purchasing extra flexiblade line at the same time, as whilst very good, the line is not as durable as it would appear from the advertising. Pros: *It should fit to any strimmer that is capable of taking a cutting blade, so ultimately brushcutters etc. *the head is very light (well made) so spins very quickly, which means gentle revs are fine. *The line change system is excellent and certainly a welcome change from old bump feed systems etc. Very quick and easy to use. *line makes an excellent cut. Cons: *the line is not as durable as would appear. If you are strimming up against rocks/hard surfaces you will wear the line out quite quickly. I would suggest buying additional rolls of line at time of check out (you will be back quickly to do this anyway!). *fitting is not very well explained, but when done it is fairly simple, you just have to trial and error until you are able to lock down the new head with appropriate spacer (supplied) and nut (supplied). Remember it locks anti clockwise.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT. WHEN USED WITH 4MM CORD WILL TACKLE ANY GROWTH

This is the best strimmer head I've used for easy, rapid line replacement. I've used it at work on projects to clear invasive weeds and on our smallholding to clear and maintain overgrown areas we're bringing in to cultivation and found it very hard to beat. The Flexiblade line which goes with is really hard wearing and unless you hit rocks or hard wood it will last for ages. Carry long nosed pliers to pull the used line through the head. The wastage of line which is a minor issue's a trade-off for the efficiency which the product offers. Line waste can be reduced and the life of the line extended by reversing it as you go about the job, it takes seconds. 100% tried and tested with both high and lower powered machines in all terrain and weather conditions, smashes bracken and new growth in brambles, use a blade for hard plant growth but it will knock down small thorns and older stands of brambles if you're prepared to use more line. A clever, well designed quality product.

Tengo una desbrozadora de 36cc 4t. Va un poco justa pero con los hilos de 7mm se desbroza muy bien zonas con mucha maleza. He probado con 2 hilos y con 4 hilos, creo que da mejor rendimiento con 4 hilos, aunque sea mas exigente para la máquina. Corta bastante bien correon y ceñisgos con tallos de diametro considerable (mas de 15mm), carderas grandes, y tallos leñosos. Con hilo de 7mm (oregon techniblade dentado) la durabilidad es muy buena, y el consumo de gasolina bastante bajo. Hay que tener cuidado de dejar el hilo 1cm sobresaliendo, como dicen en el manual, para poder quitarlo fácilmente con unos alicates. Creo que se puede usar con cualquier tipo de hilo. He probado con hilo de 3mm pero al haber maleza de tallo leñoso y muy crecida, no me duraba nada. Puede que para cortar hierba verde solamente vaya mejor este hilo fino.

Super Teil. Wenn einmal montiert keine weitere Arbeit nötig. Betreibe das Teil mit 4-Kantfaden 4mm, Faden hält perfekt. Man steckt den Faden einfach nur ein und lässt 5-10mm andere Seite raus stehen, so kann man wenn der Faden mal abbricht ihn restlos entfernen und sofort einen neuen einstecken. Kann ich nur empfehlen. kein Ärger mehr mit diesen Fadenspulen, wo der Faden verschmilzt oder nicht heraus kommt und ja auch mal Leer ist und man mühevoll ein neuen aufspulen muss.

Très bon produit

Perfecte oplossing om makkelijk met draad te maaien. Dit kan iedereen
