Ugly Head hybrid Trimmer Review 

Why would anyone give a down vote for such an informative video? Is it because of the product?

This is Hands-Down the BEST Trimmer Head available on the market! I was really surprised on how well the yellow plastic blades worked and how long they last. I live in Texas and I cut down all of the native grasses with this head. Its amazing how quick and simple it is to replace the strings. I use a Titanium String which last much longer...and I pre-cut the strings and put them in a Fanny Pack so I have them with me out in the field..Super Easy, works better than any other on the market!

i am tired of replacing line on a trimmer. Thanks this helped in making my choice.

You SOLD me on this one and I’ll tell you...I am SO Impressed with the way this thing gets the job done. I had a whole field of “Mexican Hat” flowers/Weeds..this thing cut it all down in no time at all. Extra blades are inexpensive (WalMart). I keep a supply of them in a Fanny Pack, along with some pre-cut string (Titanium 0.095”).

Not too bad. The string is really putting a heavy load on your engine and alot of strain and heat in your clutch. As a professional lawn care business owner and worker. You really need a Husqvarna 525L they are an absolute beast of a trimmer. We run the heck out of them and and they just keep going. They are very powerful machines and I think you would absolutely love it. Light weight, powerful rugged and very reliable. If you don't get one you are missing out. It is one of our favorites out on the job.

I love these heads only $30 and you can switch between clearing brush and using string in 10 seconds plus the string lasts way longer then any bump feed I've used

Severely disappointed at first but after learning a couple things It's ok. Broke two blades in the first 5 minutes on horse weed and grass that was about 3 foot tall. Don't even think about woody stuff. Horse weed stalks were probably up to 1/2 inch thick. Smaller ones up to 1/4" were ok. First thing I learned was keep the RPMs down. Spinning at full speed it seems the shock of hitting a thick weed broke the blade. I also found that the blades did much better after they wore down a bit of a curved edge on the tip. That let them slice rather than grab the weed stalk and I could run up to higher RPMs. Third thing is go at the weed stalk head on, jabbing forward. Sweeping and coming from the side grabbed and pulled the cutter into the weed. It does not cut through the stuff like butter. Thick clumps of tall grass, also go slow. It's a lot of work, more work than I hoped. A metal blade would do the job a lot faster but we are SO dry in California I don't want to start a fire with a spark off a rock. This at least won't do that and I was able to get it done once I figured those things out.

Great video...very instructive. I saw the Ugly Head at Lowes and felt it would be an easy replace ment for the sorry bump head that came on my Troy Bilt string trimmer. Looks like I made the right choice according to your video.

Be careful when those blades break when you hit something hard and pieces of them go flying. Do not use them wearing shorts or thin pants.

Nice review, but I highly recommend using ear protection when using power equipment, especially gas powered string trimmers. Those are loud as hell. If not, you’re going to be very hard of hearing by the time you’re 60.

thanks for posting this video. I followed the steps to install on my Craftsman 26cc two cycle trimmer weed wacker. I install it as tight as possible, but then after running for a few minutes the head flies off. I tried different setups then shown here and also even using the bolt that came with the original head, nothing works, very frustrating.

Thanks for the sharing! It helps a lot when I am considering to replace the current trimmer line spool. Did the blades give a more powerful cut than the lines or they were similar?

which trimmer is best to use with ugly head hybrid thanks

The head seems to work quite well. I believe the black plastic cup that the nuts and bolts were in is supposed to go above the head to prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft.

I have this and never did figure out how to add that cone part to the bottom. The instructions were terrible. Appreciate the vid though. Anyone else figure out how to add the cone part or just not necessary?

I use just the strings. Works well.

It almost looks like you used straight gas instead of mixed but I guess you must be using synthetic oil which has less color? If not oh well you're in for a surprise.

I bought one and it did NOT hold up. Yellow blades snapped off very quickly.

How do you get the ugly head back off

Does anyone put it on Kobalt electric trimmer?

Great review, plus I learned how to appropriately load string to this as one was given to me as well👍

I have one of these…I only use either the blades by themselves or the trimmer string by itself. Both is just to much for a 25 cc motor.

Good review, well done.

curious as to why you're trying to cut down brush using the string and not the blades kinda backwards

I've used the blades before and there great. Can take down hog weeds and Johnson grass.

Does anybody make a brush cutter attachment for BATTERY powered weed eaters?

keep up your good work

Whoa, a gas-powered fidget spinner!

Very impressive with the blades, I took a look on my local amazon site but it doesn't appear to be available this side of the pond, however there are some bladed alternatives so I may well try one out. I have a 26cc weedeater also and although the line works ok it is a pain having to keep feeding it out as it breaks easily, Good review

Had a friend back in Iowa made blades for cutting heavy stuff out of old hacksaw blades, kinda dangerous if your to close..lol..but they bolted on the head, in pairs only, unlike the Ugly Head..Nice for your needs !!

The blades work the best you can cut all day without stoping

that spacer only lasts me one season. if some of these parts were metal it would be better. they make it where it will break and you have to buy a whole new one instead of just getting a new spacer

No ear protection?

Those blades are pretty impressive. If only they last for the price you paid.

I had one of these on a Ryobi string trimmer and it voided the warranty.

Your machine and the job are so incompatible! Get a bigger, more powerful brushcutter. Your strimmer was made for work around the garden and flowerbeds!

I like it,I hate weeds in my garden.

Looks like a good deal but for that price they should have give you several sets of blades and a roll of string for it too just my thoughts on it.Cause its made of the plastic the head is and plastic is cheap to make !!

Trace the blades on some old butter knifes using a bit of the handle , sharpen a little , might last longer.

Design flaw! The threads aren’t reversed so when you hit thick grass the head flies off!

shouldn't the blades have their cutting edge facing the same way, and in the proper direction? Looked to me like you had a blade on backwards.

This doesn't fit my Craftsman 316711023.

Always is better the spool

I wish you had used the blades and the string at the same time. Instructions, nah never heard of 'em. ;)

Good-oh!

The blades are garbage

You would be more impresed if you bought the real trimmer asnd not this child's toy...

hey check us out, free demo if you email us? @landtohouse

Гениально
