EGO Power+ AH1530 Replacement Rapid Reload Plus Trimmer Head (Clockwise) for EGO 15-Inch String Trimmer Models ST1502SA/ST1502XY/ST1500XY/ST1504SF/ST1500SF, Black

Works flawlessly! Don't waste your time buying knockoffs, because they don't work. This worked on my 24v Kobalt weed eater. The only adjustment I had to make was sharpening the cutting blade due to the thicker string.

Easy to assemble and a perfect fit.

This makes replacement of string much easier and it was relatively easy to replace the original head (which was junk). Had it been priced more reasonably, (since the OEM was not very good) I would have given it 5 stars.

I ordered this as a replacement head for my ST1500SF (split shaft 15" trimmer) because my original head was causing significant vibration during use. I suspect it was because of hitting the string release against the pavement over time, which ground off enough plastic to throw the head out of balance. This new design has a free-floating disc to hit when extending the line, which hopefully preserves the useful lifespan of the part. The head is not considered a warrantiable part of the tool, so Ego will not offer to cover a replacement (this isn't a knock against Ego, just be aware).This head is definitely compatible with the ST1500SF, and it is a "revised" part to the original AH1500, but there are a couple things to be aware of. My original head had the green marks that you needed to line up when reloading string.My original head was attached with a 9/16" nut that requires a deep-well socket to remove due to the deisgn of the nut. You can get it off with a rachet or an impact wrench, but you have to hold the body of the existing head in place. Once you remove the old head, leave the flat gray flange in-place on the spindle of the motor. I also kept the small metal washer that was on the original head, but the instructions for the new head do not mention this at all.When you affix the new head, it's a 1/2" nut that you can use a regular-depth socket on. It's a bit tricky to get the nut started by hand because of the plastic body of the head being so close, but use some patience and be sure to get a few rotations by hand to avoid any chance of cross-threading. I would not suggest using a power tool off the bat. You can then finish off with either an impact wrench or a ratchet, again while holding the plastic body to tighten it.The new head is slightly harder to split open by pushing the tabs in, but generally you should not have to do this regularly. Otherwise it operates as deisgned and is quite a bit easier to load new string. Hopefully the free-floating disc in the middle keeps this one going longer than the original.

I ordered this to replace the original part on my EGO trimmer. This once was easy to install and fits well to where you couldn't tell it was a replacement. It's held up well and is easy to reload.

I just replaced my EGO string trimmer head ST1500ST with......the new EGO model head AH1530. I also watched the You Tube video explaining the procedure from 'Around the Home'. I must say, it wasn't all that difficult to replace. After taking it apart as described, I used a 9/16th socket to remove the long nut on the original trimmer head. I did have to give it some extra elbow grease to remove. I had to use a 1/2" socket to install the new smaller nut that does come with the new trimmer head. Initially when opening the packaging, you can hear it move around in the unit which I thought at first was a broken part inside.Once everything was assembled, it was a joy to push the unit down and hear the click that keeps it in place. Feeding the string through the small holes and turning clockwise is a huge plus now!!Lastly, gave it a brief test drive. Yayyyyyyyyy!!!! Works very nicely. The replacement head, the video, and the whole procedure of replacing was great. I hope that this review may help someone else with their string trimmer mission!! :):):)

I can mess up the easiest task. I often read the installation instructions AFTER a failed attempt. But I decided to read and install in that order. Gotta say, installation of this item was a snap and subsequent installation of trimmer line no longer results in me cussing and throwing things. HUGE upgrade!

Excellent replacement for the broken one. Only problem I had was in separating the pieces. A flathead screwdriver was required to press in the clips. One it was apart, it was a breeze replacing the broken one with the new one.
