Exact fit
This was for a battery operated Ryobi weed wacker, which in the discribetion fits several weed wackers, I purchased this for an older neighbor to which the head fell off while they were using it, due to not putting it back together correctly, so she called me and said it wouldn't work and I noticed the piece was missing, they said to order it. when it came quickly I took it to them and they said that looks like the piece on the front porch. lol now we have a spare part. I was going to return it but the shipping cost me twice the amount of the price of the part. Completely satisfied with the part.

Repair parts for Ryobi weed whacker
I ordered all the parts that may have caused the problem. Turned out I got more than I needed but the prices were so reasonable I have no regret.
3 dimensional schematics might make ordering parts
( for somebody who doesn’t repair garden equipment professionally, like me) a little easier.

Does this fit my product?Questions & Answers for Plastic Slider With Metal Inse
I have the Ryobi trimmer/edger. When I went to take off the slider I guess there was a spring too. I didn't see the spring. If I get a new slider does it come with a spring?

After removing the string spool, I compressed the spring and removed it. Then I removed the plastic slider, and installed the slider and spring. Reinstalled the string spool and the cover. Much better.
