Overview
Keep your string trimmer ready for action with this pre-wound replacement spool. It is built to the same dimensions as the OEM spool, so it drops right into the trimmer head with no modifications. Aftermarket spools provide the same cutting performance as factory originals at a better value.
Key specifications

Compatibility
This spool is designed for HART string trimmers as listed above. Confirm the spool part number, line diameter, and trimmer model before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
Installation notes
Remove the spool cover from the trimmer head. Extract the old spool and clean out any grass or debris. Insert the new pre-wound spool, feed the line ends through the guide holes, and reattach the cover. Verify the line extends the correct length before trimming.
Common questions
Q: Will these RAC143 spools fit my HART HLST011VNM string trimmer, and are they preloaded with 0.08” line?
Yes, these replacement spools are made to fit the HART HLST01 and HLST011VNM, and they also match several related models listed, including HGST061VNM and HGST041VNM. They come as RAC143-style 0.08” spools, so they’re intended as ready-to-install replacements rather than requiring you to wind line from scratch.
Q: Can I use these on a Toro 51481T 40V 13-inch trimmer, or are they only for HART models?
They are also compatible with Toro 51481 and 51481T 13-inch 40V trimmers that use the 88545 0.08” spool style. The key thing is matching both the spool type and line diameter, so if your trimmer calls for the 88545/0.08” setup, this part should fit properly.
Q: Do I need any tools to install these RAC143 spools, and is there anything I should check before using them?
In most cases, no tools are needed; you typically remove the spool cap, lift out the old spool, and drop the new one in with the line routed through the eyelets. Before trimming, make sure the cap is fully seated and the line feeds freely, because twisted line or an incorrectly seated spool can cause poor feeding or extra wear on the trimmer head.
