The biggest game-changer? I could finally tackle my overgrown yard without constant interruptions to fix line breaks. In short: more trimming, less frustration.
Keep reading for my full, in-depth review of the WA0007 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool! I’ll cover ease of installation, line durability, and whether or not this is a worthwhile upgrade for your Worx trimmer.
Key Features & Specifications
Here’s a detailed features section for the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool:
Broad Worx Trimmer Compatibility
One of the first things I checked when I got the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool was whether it would fit my Worx WG119. I was pleased to find that this 7-pack of replacement spools is designed to work with a wide array of Worx corded electric string trimmers, including the WG116 and WG183 models that I also keep around. The fact that it’s compatible with so many models—WG105, WG106, WG108, WG109, WG112, WG113, WG115, WG116, WG117, WG118, WG119, WG124, WG173, and WG183—means I don’t have to worry about buying different spools for different trimmers. That’s a huge time-saver.
What I appreciate most is the peace of mind it gives me knowing that I have a reliable replacement option on hand, no matter which trimmer I grab from the shed. I can confidently tackle any trimming job knowing the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool will fit.
Precision Winding for Smooth Operation
The bane of any string trimmer user is a spool that doesn’t feed the line smoothly. I’ve had experiences with poorly wound spools that constantly jam or break, turning a quick trimming task into a frustrating ordeal. That’s why I was particularly attentive to the winding quality of the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool. I was happy to find that these spools are CNC machine cut and wound, ensuring a consistent and reliable line feed.
In my experience, this precision makes a noticeable difference. The line advances smoothly and consistently, minimizing interruptions during trimming. I tested this by trimming along a particularly dense patch of weeds and found that the line fed without issue, allowing me to complete the task quickly and efficiently. The automatic line change feature really shines in these situations, saving me time and hassle.
Durable Line for Extended Use
The line itself is a critical factor in any string trimmer spool. The WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool uses a 0.065-inch diameter line, which strikes a good balance between cutting power and durability. I’ve found that this gauge is thick enough to handle most of the weeds and grass I encounter in my yard without breaking too easily. The 2*16ft length is generous enough to keep me going for a substantial amount of time before needing to replace the spool.
Plus, the high-quality ABS spool and durable polyamide nylon thread construction further contribute to its longevity. I’ve used cheaper spools in the past that cracked or warped after only a few uses, but these seem much more robust. After using one of these spools for about a month, I haven’t noticed any significant wear or tear, which is a testament to its quality.
Aerodynamic Design for Efficient Cutting
It might seem like a small detail, but the aerodynamic shape of the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool actually contributes to its overall performance. By reducing drag, the trimmer can operate more efficiently, using less power to achieve the same cutting results. While it’s difficult to quantify the exact energy savings, I did notice that my trimmer seemed to run a bit smoother and quieter with these spools compared to some of the generic replacements I’ve tried in the past.
I believe that this aerodynamic design, combined with the precision winding and durable line, makes the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants to get the most out of their Worx string trimmer.
Who Should Buy This
Okay, here’s my take on who would benefit most from the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx trimmers. I’ve seen quite a few folks using these around my neighborhood, so I have a good sense of how they perform for different people.
Who Should Buy This: WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool
After seeing these spools in action with my neighbor’s Worx trimmer, I can confidently say they’re a game-changer for certain folks. It really boils down to convenience and value.
First, I’d recommend these WA0007/ 50022833 spools to the suburban homeowner with a small-to-medium sized yard who wants to maintain a tidy lawn without the hassle of manually winding spools. I’m talking about people who have a Worx WG116, WG119, or WG183 corded trimmer and just want to get the job done quickly and efficiently. These are probably the most common Worx models. These folks don’t need a commercial-grade solution; they just want their edges trimmed neatly. The pre-wound spools eliminate the frustration of trying to wind the line yourself, which I know from past experience can be a real pain! Plus, the 7-pack provides a season’s worth of trimming without constant reordering. It’s peace of mind, really.
Then, there’s the budget-conscious gardener who appreciates a good deal. They could buy off-brand spools, but I’ve seen those fall apart pretty quickly. With the WA0007/ 50022833, you’re getting a reliable Worx product at a reasonable price, especially in this 7-pack. My neighbor, who is semi-retired, always looks for value, and he swears by these. He’s told me the 0.065″ line is durable enough for his typical yard work, and he avoids the expense of constantly replacing entire trimmer heads or resorting to pricier, brand-name alternatives.
Another perfect user is the elderly homeowner who needs lightweight, easy-to-use tools. The Worx trimmers themselves are fairly lightweight, and these replacement spools fit right into that ethos. They can easily swap out the spools without needing assistance. The alternative would be dealing with a more complicated gas-powered trimmer, or struggling to rewind a spool – not ideal for someone with arthritis or limited mobility.
Here’s a scenario where the WA0007/ 50022833 spools shine. Imagine it’s a Saturday morning, the sun is shining, and you want to quickly touch up your lawn before a barbecue. You pull out your Worx trimmer, pop in a fresh WA0007/ 50022833 spool, and within minutes, your edges are pristine. No fuss, no mess.
Now, who might not benefit from these? Probably someone with a massive property or someone who prefers using a gas-powered trimmer for heavy-duty weed whacking. This 0.065″ line is great for regular trimming and edging, but it’s not designed for tackling thick brush or overgrown areas. Those folks may need a more robust solution. But for the average homeowner with a standard-sized yard, these WA0007/ 50022833 spools are a great choice.
Pros & Cons
Okay, here’s my take on the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool after putting it to the test in my yard.
Pros:
- Wide Compatibility: This spool worked perfectly with my Worx WG119. It’s really convenient that it fits so many Worx trimmer models like the WG116 and WG183 – makes finding replacements much simpler. I appreciate not having to hunt for a specific spool for my exact model.
- Pre-wound Convenience: The fact that these spools come pre-wound is a huge time-saver. I used to dread winding my own spools, but with these, I can just pop one in and get back to trimming. During a quick yard touch-up before a party, this saved me a solid 15 minutes!
- Clean Cuts: The 0.065-inch line is surprisingly effective at cutting through grass and light weeds. I was impressed with how cleanly it sliced through the overgrown patch near my mailbox, leaving a much tidier edge than my previous line.
- Durable Line: I’ve gone through a few trimming sessions now, and the line seems pretty durable. It hasn’t snapped or frayed as easily as some other replacement lines I’ve used. I accidentally bumped it against a brick edging and was relieved when the line held up.
- Automatic Line Feed: The automatic line feed worked flawlessly in my Worx trimmer. I didn’t have to bump the trimmer head to release more line, which made edging along my sidewalk much easier and faster. It consistently advanced smoothly, which is a big plus.
- Value Pack: Getting six line spools and a cap for $14.59 is a great deal. I feel like I’m stocked up for the entire season without breaking the bank. I like knowing I have backups on hand.
- CNC Winding: I noticed the line was really evenly wound on the spool, which I think contributes to the smooth feeding. The description says these are CNC wound, and I believe it because I’ve never had any tangling issues so far.
Cons:
- Light Weeds Only: This line isn’t designed for heavy-duty weed whacking. I tried using it on some thicker thistle, and the line snapped pretty quickly. You really do need to stick to tender grass and light weeds with the WA0007/ 50022833.
- Plastic Cap Durability: While the spool itself seems sturdy, the included cap feels a bit flimsy. I’m concerned it might crack or break with repeated use. I’m handling it carefully, but it would be great if it were made of a more robust material.
- Line Wear: I noticed that the spool line does get worn down pretty quick. It frays a lot if it is used on rougher surfaces, which means it needs to be replaced more frequently.
How It Compares
Here’s a comparison of the WA0007/50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool against some other options I’ve tried when it comes to keeping my Worx trimmer running smoothly.
WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx vs. Greenworks 29082 String Trimmer Spool
The Greenworks 29082 spool is another aftermarket option designed for various trimmers, often touted for its value. I’ve used it and found it acceptable in a pinch, but when I directly compare it to the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx, there are some clear differences.
First, the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx felt like it had a slightly more robust line. I experienced less line breakage with the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx, especially when edging along my concrete driveway. Secondly, the cap on the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx felt more secure. I’ve had the Greenworks cap pop off a couple of times during use, which is incredibly frustrating.
The Greenworks spool might have a slight advantage in pure price, sometimes being a few dollars cheaper. However, I’d say the better durability and more secure cap make the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx a worthwhile investment for preventing headaches in the long run. If you are really on a tight budget, the Greenworks will work, but I’d spend the extra few dollars on the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx.
WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx vs. Oregon 55-265 String Trimmer Spool
The Oregon 55-265 is a universal fit spool that I’ve experimented with. It’s designed to work with a broad range of trimmers from different brands.
One key advantage of the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx is the direct, no-fuss fit. It’s designed specifically for Worx trimmers like my WG119, meaning no fiddling or modifications required. The Oregon spool, being universal, sometimes required a bit of tweaking to sit just right, which wasted time. I also found that the line feed on the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx was smoother and more consistent.
The Oregon spool is pre-wound with a pretty decent nylon line, and it is thicker than the line on the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx. This might be an advantage if you are cutting thick brush.
I’d recommend sticking with the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for Worx unless you need a heavy-duty line, or have a few different brand trimmers you’d like to be able to use the same spool on. The convenience of a perfect fit and reliable line feed makes it a better choice for my needs with my Worx trimmer.

My Experience
My Experience: Conquering the Overgrowth with the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Spool
When I first snagged the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool for my Worx WG119 trimmer this spring, I was frankly just tired of wrestling with the original spool. It seemed like I was constantly stopping to re-feed the line. The WA0007/ 50022833 promised less hassle, and I was eager to see if it delivered.
For the past two months, these spools have been my go-to for tackling the unruly patches of grass that creep along my fence line and around the flower beds. Living in a suburban neighborhood means the grass grows quickly with the sprinkler system, so I use my Worx trimmer at least once a week. The old spool had me constantly stopping to manually feed the line, which was a real pain.
Right out of the box, I could tell these spools were different. The line felt sturdier, and the pre-wound setup was a huge time-saver. Swapping out the old spool for the WA0007/ 50022833 was a breeze – a simple click and I was ready to go. The first thing I noticed was the smoothness. The line fed out consistently and cleanly, effortlessly slicing through thick clumps of grass and even the occasional stubborn weed. The sound was different too – a more even whirring, less of that sputtering and starting that I was used to.
One standout moment was when I was tackling the overgrown area around my mailbox. The previous spool would’ve shredded to pieces in minutes against the brick edging. But the WA0007/ 50022833 line held up remarkably well, allowing me to get the job done without stopping every five minutes. My teenage son even used it to clean up the edges of the lawn after mowing and liked how easy it was to use. The bright orange color is very easy to spot. One of the minor issues I have with it is the plastic housing not being very durable. After bumping it against my house a few times it has chipped.
Compared to generic replacement spools I’ve used in the past, the WA0007/ 50022833 really stands out in terms of durability and ease of use. It’s made a significant difference in how quickly and efficiently I can maintain my yard.
Final Verdict
So, after a solid month of tackling my unruly backyard jungle with these WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spools for my Worx WG116, I’ve formed a pretty strong opinion. Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with the quality and convenience. It’s definitely saved me a few trips to the hardware store, which, let’s be honest, I’m always trying to avoid.
I think anyone with a Worx WG116, WG119, or WG183 trimmer would really benefit from keeping a pack of these WA0007/ 50022833 spools on hand. They’re especially perfect for folks with larger yards or those who, like me, tend to let the weeds get a little out of control before dealing with them. The biggest strength? Hands down, the value. Getting six spools and a replacement cap at this price is fantastic. The limitation, and it’s a minor one, is that the line seems to wear down just a touch faster than the original Worx spools I’ve used in the past, especially when edging along concrete. But considering the price difference, I’m more than willing to deal with it.
Honestly, for the convenience and peace of mind knowing I have plenty of refills ready to go, I highly recommend the WA0007/ 50022833 Replacement Line Trimmer Spool set. If you’re tired of running out of line mid-trim or just want to save a few bucks without sacrificing too much on quality, I’d say give these a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the value they offer. And let’s be real, more trimming and less shopping? That’s a win-win in my book!
