Full details
The ALM Trimmer Line ST2288 is an essential maintenance accessory designed for homeowners who own Black & Decker Reflex Plus or Flymo twin line trimmers. It offers a specialized low-noise profile that reduces operation volume while delivering reliable cutting performance for residential lawns; however, users should ensure their specific trimmer model supports the 1.5mm diameter to avoid feeding issues.

FAQs
Will this fit my non-Black & Decker trimmer?
This line is specifically designed for Black & Decker Reflex Plus and Flymo twin line models. Always check your trimmer's manual to confirm it accepts 1.5mm line.
What is the total length of the spool?
The spool contains 25 meters of trimmer line.
Is this a pre-wound spool or a refill coil?
This is a refill coil; you will need to wind the line onto your existing trimmer spool.
Can I use this for heavy-duty brush clearing?
No, this 1.5mm line is designed for grass and light garden vegetation. Using it on thick brush will cause it to snap repeatedly.
How do I ensure the line doesn't tangle when winding?
Wind the line under slight tension and keep the coils neat and side-by-side to ensure smooth feeding during operation.
Troubleshooting
Line breaks frequently during use
Ensure you are not hitting hard surfaces like stone or metal and verify you are not attempting to cut overly dense woody vegetation.
Trimmer head fails to feed new line
Check that the line was wound smoothly without overlapping or tangling on the spool.
Line becomes brittle or snaps during storage
Keep the line in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct UV light to maintain material integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly quieter operation than standard round trimmer lines
- Generous 25m length ensures fewer replacements throughout the season
- Designed for precise fitment in compatible Black & Decker and Flymo systems
- Easy to install in standard auto-feed and manual-feed spools
Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty woody weeds or thick brush
- Requires manual winding for some older spool cartridges
- Cannot be used on trimmers requiring larger diameter line (e.g., 2.0mm or higher)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first remove the empty spool from your trimmer head and clear away any remaining debris. Wind the new 1.5mm line evenly onto the spool following the directional arrows imprinted on the cartridge; ensure the line does not cross over itself, as this is the most common cause of feeding failures. This product is compatible with Black & Decker Reflex Plus models and standard Flymo twin line units. For care, store the spool in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight; UV exposure can make the polymer brittle over time, reducing its impact resistance.
