The No Brainer from Tanaka couldn't be easier to install and use on your string trimmer. It took me longer to get it out of the package than it did to install it on the end of my Poulan gas powered string trimmer. I really hated replacing the line on my trimmer spool and never could get the line and spool put back just right so it fed out without getting stuck or tangled. The No Brainer really lives up to its name as it truly does take all the guess work out of changing your line and your downtime is minimal when the line needs to be replaced. The design is very well thought out and I have no doubt it will stand up to long term use. I should have bought this a long time ago!
Great Product! June 12, 2008

Although I've only used this head one time, I love it! I bought the pack of Tanaka string line, also on Amazon, for 6 bucks which pushed the total just over $25, making it eligible for free shipping, which made the string "free". As the other poster mentioned, this product seems to be of high quality and should last a long time. I have the peace of mind that I won't be trimming a hundred yards from my house and have to stop and tear apart a complex bump-feed head and mess with the #*$&%@ thing for 20 minutes. The Tanaka string is very quiet and very tough, I use it for edging and it lasts a long time, just carry another string in your pocket in case you need it. Excellent!!
 "No Brainer"-Mixed Review July 31, 2008

Tanaka has one great patented idea. HOWEVER, they need to stress in BOLD PRINT if one owns a straight shaft or curved shaft weedtrimmer--it really, really matters.
Tanaka is good about including different sized arbor adapters that can be mounted in place within the center of the cutting head for various makes of trimmers. I ordered my cutting head quickly being so impressed with positive reviews. Subsequently, I had to purchase a rethreading tap from an auto parts store for $3.00. This was necessary because the arbor Tanaka included in the set of arbors was a left-handed thread. Therefore, I used the rethreading tap to make my arbor adapter right-handed thread. In the end, I'm still happy that it worked out.
Tanaka, if you're listening/reading, please include as many arbor adapters with the cutting head as possible to accommodate just about any weed trimmer made--whether it's curved or straight shaft. Consumers would still be agreeable if the kit was a little higher priced.
