I'm at wits end trying to find pre-wound spools for our Makita XRU12 weed eater! Home Depot doesn't have them, even though that's were we bought it. They just told me to buy the line in bulk, but I don't have the time or patience to wind it myself. I can't even figure out the parts number. I THINK it's 198386-5 according to a parts list I found online, but Makita's website says that's the parts number for the whole head, I only want the spool. https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/198386-5

I may have to learn to wind it myself, but I won't be happy I bought this thing! At best, it would be disappointing because my wife picked this out. We're both on our late 60s, and this one is light enough for my wife to handle, and we both like the bump-and-feed and that it's battery operated, no cord or gas to hassle with.

Try part number 456642-2 spool
I have that manual and was looking at it, but I'm guessing that's just the spool w/o the line. I guess I'll have to contact Makita. Thanks anyway.
