The Black and Decker GH1000 Type 2 string trimmer

摘要

After my disappointment with the performance of string trimmers with 0.040- and 0.065-in. strings, I bought a futuristic-looking Black and Decker model that used professional-size 0.080-in. line. Around the end of the two-year warranty period, the string stopped spinning, even though the motor was still turning. Prying into the interior, I saw that the drive belt had broken and the drive pulley had melted. I replaced the belt with a $7 belt from eReplacementparts.com. Although the company sells the aluminum drive pulley for only $1.42, it does not offer the plastic drive pulley. I spent an hour and still couldn't figure out how to disassemble the drive pulley. I did make sure I got a spare be the new one won't last long.
