Overview
This pre-wound replacement spool drops directly into compatible string trimmers, eliminating the hassle of hand-winding line. Worn or empty spools leave trimmer owners without a cutting edge mid-job. Keeping spare aftermarket spools on hand ensures minimal downtime and consistent line feed during yard work.
Key specifications
- Pre-wound replacement trimmer spool
- Direct-fit for listed trimmer models

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
Power off the trimmer and press the tabs on the spool housing to release the cover. Pull out the empty spool and clear any debris from the housing interior. Drop in the new spool, route the line through the eyelets, and snap the cover back on.
Common questions
Q: Will the AC80RL5 spool fit my HART HLST01VNM and Ryobi P2008A trimmers, or are those different spool styles?
Yes, this AC80RL5 replacement spool is made for the HART HLST01/HLST01VNM/HLST011VNM and HT20V13TB 40V hybrid string trimmers, and it also fits the listed Ryobi models including P2008A and P2008VNM. If your trimmer model matches one of the listed numbers, this is the correct spool style to use.
Q: How do I install the AC80RL5 spool on a Ryobi P20150 without the line tangling or feeding backward?
Remove the spool cap, take out the old spool, and set the new AC80RL5 spool in the head with the line routed through the eyelets before snapping the cap back on. Make sure the spool sits fully in place and the line unwinds in the same direction as the original spool, otherwise the auto-feed may not work correctly.
Q: My HART HT20V13TB keeps breaking line quickly—does that mean the AC80RL5 spool is wrong, or is there something I should check first?
Frequent line breakage is usually caused by running the trimmer too close to concrete, chain link, or edging surfaces rather than a spool fit issue. Check that the spool is seated properly, the line exits cleanly from both eyelets, and the trimmer head is free of packed grass or debris so the line can feed smoothly.
