CRAFTSMAN Genuine OEM String Trimmer Line, Weed Eater and Weed Wacker String, 0.065- Inch, 30-Feet of Replacement Spool, 3-Pack Spools (CMZST0653)

What It Is

This is a 3-pack of genuine Craftsman OEM replacement spools pre-wound with 0.065-inch diameter trimmer line, each containing 30 feet of line. Designed for gas and electric string trimmers, edgers, and brush cutters that accept pre-wound spools or bulk 0.065-inch line.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Line diameter: 0.065-inch – fits most light- to medium-duty trimmers (e.g., Craftsman, Weed Eater, Poulan, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt). Not compatible with 0.080-inch, 0.095-inch, or larger line sizes.
• Spool type: Pre-wound spools designed for Craftsman and many universal trimmer heads that accept drop-in spools. Check if your trimmer uses a bump-feed, fixed-line, or quick-load head.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Genuine Craftsman OEM – ensures exact fit for Craftsman/Weed Eater models; may also fit other brands with compatible spool dimensions.
• What to verify before buying:
  • Measure your current line diameter (0.065" is thin – common for electric trimmers and smaller gas models).
  • Confirm your trimmer head accepts pre-wound spools (not bulk line only).
  • Check spool hub width and center hole size – this spool fits most Craftsman/Weed Eater heads, but older or proprietary heads may differ.
  • If your trimmer uses a fixed-line head (manual line feed), you may need to cut the line to length after installation.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy – most users can replace a spool in under 5 minutes. No tools required for most bump-feed heads.
• Quality: Genuine OEM line is slightly stiffer than many aftermarket brands, reducing tangling and improving feed reliability. 0.065-inch line is best for light weeds and grass; not for heavy brush or thick vines.
• Common gotcha: The pre-wound spools may not fit all universal heads. If your trimmer uses a speed-feed or quick-load head, verify the spool’s center hole diameter (typically 0.5-inch).
• Value: 3-pack at $19.99 (~$6.66 per spool) is competitive with aftermarket options, and OEM line often lasts longer due to consistent thickness and material quality.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Craftsman or Weed Eater trimmer that uses 0.065-inch line and want hassle-free, drop-in replacement spools with reliable feed performance. It’s a solid choice for homeowners maintaining small to medium lawns with light trimming needs. Skip it if you need thicker line for heavy brush or have a trimmer with a proprietary spool system.
