This video provided the last missing piece on how to complete the assembly for me. Thank you so much for posting this!
Sitbrush, the number one!!!
Grazie Gennaro!
A great option to have for a string trimmer. Immediately obvious. Can't believe the comments. Just because you can type doesn't mean you should.
Thanks Tom! We agree with you! Understanding that it's a use that doesn't fit any need...but when you have this need probably it's among best tools in the market. For sure the most sustainable and eco-friendly.
Have a good brushing!
Probably also good for large-scale metalwork and painting.
Yes, one of our customers used string trimmer brushes.for renovating an old cowshed and converted it into a restaurant !!!
Thanks for making the "How to" short and to the point.
Thank you Robert! We really appreciate your feedback!
Fits my Honda
will this fit a Homelite electric trimmer. the motor is at the end of the shaft. it does not look as if it will fit
Hi, I have Bbta brush cutter 36cc 4 stroke D handle. Does this one fit my trimer? What size can I purchase? Thanks
I have a Black and decker string wacker,and I buy this wire cutter ,but I don't know how to change it ,will this work on a string wacker
Having issues installing this product to the ECHO PAS 225 model . Any suggestions the
will soon get me a lathe to make that spacer and more parts
Hello Guss!
Or you can buy an original SIT Brush Made in Italy that come a with a complete set of adapters and spacers to fit any string trimmer...
Keep us posted!
will this work with bosch art 24 ? Please suggest
Can you mount this on a Kobalt string trimmer?
My Ryobi has a bolt with 6 sides. Will it work?
SIT Technospazzole OMG I have been looking for one of these all summer! I found a company in Germany called Weber Brushes that sold them but I could never get them to respond to me. There are virtually no one in the states that sells these and I have no idea why. Do you sell a kit or do you just sell the brush?
I hope it will be helpful to you! Please contact us at info@sitbrush.com asking for this product and giving us your address so we will indicate a distributor close to you or we can ship one to you!
I have grass growing over my asphalt driveway I’m gonna use this to trim that grass back I hope it works it’s just been to hot to work outside 🥵
Use Roundup at the beginning of each year to give you a edge. That will kill the root even going through the driveway cracks. Then use your trimmer later in the year to cut any crawlers.
Would this attachment work on a Weed Eater??
Soy de aguadilla puerto rico donde consigo tough trimmer,gracias anticipadas.
Hola Ruben,
Por favor escriba a info@sitbrush.com indicando su dirección residencial precisa para que podamos indicarle la mejor opción de compra. Muchas gracias
@@SITBRUSHtv cuanto vale el producto y cuando llega.
Hi, would this work on a corded Bosh ASF 23-37 1000W? It comes with a metal blade, would it be strong enough for this too?
Hello!
Sincerely we haven't tested this item so we can't tell precisely. On a general point of view we don't recommend to use our product with corded trimmers. In this specific case you can check if the trimmer let's you take off the trimming head accessing the threaded spindle. I see that in the pictures it lets you mount a blade but I don't see how the mounting interface is/works. Hope this helps!
will this fit and work on a black and decker weed trimmer - battery operated 40V?
Hello Tom!
The version in this video is recommended only for heavy duty gas fuel trimmers but in the video we link below you can find a lighter version suitable for battery operated trimmers (and short working time). If you want to know more please contact us at info@sitbrush.com but in the mean time enjoy czcams.com/video/rK1X_owYW1M/video.html
Do they work with a battery powered trimmer??
got this and it came, BUT had been ripped at customs. only the wheeel in the box. are the attachments on my old trimmer. no instrctions in box either
Hello Kim, please double check that you received the original SITBRUSH brush that comes in a box with a large SIT red and white logo and a small kit with instructions and adapters inside every box.. keep us posted
Could you recommend any battery powered string trimmer that is compatible with your brush? Thanks.
Hello Adam, yes we have tested many and until today the only one that satisfied our expectations is the Ego Power+ Multitool with a battery of 5Ah. We are still testing other brands and models but this is the only one that passed our tests. Hope this helps!
All the ones I’ve used lasted a day…quick return. Money back.
What adaptor should I use for my Husqvarna 115iL+
Hello Frida, every original SITBRUSH brush comes in a branded box with the adapter kit inside and with these adapters you can mount the brush on any weed eater. So don’t worry about the adapters when you buy an original SIT product. Do you already have a different product?
Have you tried this brush with the Snapper 82-Volt 16-in Straight Cordless String Trimmer with Attachment Capable tool?
Hello Donald Hill. The snapper 82-volt seems to be a very powerful cordless trimmer but we haven't tried it yet. The only cordless trimmer that passed our tests is the Ego Power+ trimmer (egopowerplus.it/) with a 56V 5Ah battery. But the trimmer you indicated seems even more powerful. We will try to organize a test and in case we can we will be back to you with results.
Thank you and have fun brushing!
Donald does that 82v have the attachability?
I have a ryobi battery powered machine. How do u remove and connect the wire cutter to that. I’m having problems working it out. Hope u can help?
Hello Mike Janson!
As far as we have tested Ryobi battery trimmers can’t take off the trimming head in order to mound other accessories like blades or brushes so you will be able to mount them only on other kind of trimmers or on the majority of gas trimmers.
Hope this helps!
SITBRUSH ok thanks for the info
Thank you for asking!
will it fit in electric black and descker trimmer?
Hello Ka Aa, it will fit but it’s recommended a higher power that what can normally found on electric trimmers...anyway we are about to launch a solution that will solve your issue..stay tuned in the next few weeks!!!
Hi.. How are you doing? I just wanted to know will this brush fit on my green work electric weed eater. I seen one comment said that you have to have a very strong weed eater.. not a cheap one.
Hi Ronald McMillan! We are doing well, thanks for asking and I hope the same for you!
Even if it probably fits your trimmer you have to be aware of the power capacity/absorption.
We are performing many tests on different brands but until today we can only recommend gas trimmers or Ego Power Plus battery trimmers (56 Volts with 5Ah batteries). Thanks for asking!
@@SITBRUSHtv can the batteries be more than 5Ah?
maybe a stupid question but you didn't say or more lol
Hello Destiny K Jackson,
Yes the batteries can be even more powerful than 5Ah. This is the size that we successfully tested but of course a higher level of Ampere per hour will give your trimmer even more power… it’s to be mentioned the fact that probably powerful batteries will be very expensive/large/heavy for the use on trimmer… but innovation goes on and every year we can have something new maybe lighter, maybe more convenient, maybe more powerful.
Have fun brushing!
Great video. Is there a particular trimmer these blades will fit? I am in the UK and was looking to buy a electric trimmer and then fix the blades on but wanted to be sure it will fit the trimmer I will buy. Thank you in advance for your help.
Thank you! They will fit any trimmer since every original SIT brush comes with a set of adapters/washers. BUT this particular brush won’t be suitable for an electric trimmer. We recommend to use the lighter version you can see in action in this video: czcams.com/video/1N9tDtwtlxY/video.html. If you want to know more or if you want any indications on where to buy these products write to us with your informations at info@sitbrush.com. Thanks and enjoy your brushing!

@@SITBRUSHtv How very puplic spirited you are. I not only had no 'fittings'' with My Brush, My Bosch electric motor and gearbox, are at the 'Cutting edge end'', and cannot be removed. So my Brush is useless. Now for fun and games getting my money back.
@@MrDaiseymay Hello Philip, we are sorry to read this. Please contact us at socialmedia@sitbrush.com and we will happily assist you. Warm regards.
@@SITBRUSHtvmine did not come with any adapters?
If you are unaware there is a mechanism that allows for easily unscrewing the head, the levels of frustration will be exponentially greater as time goes on.
Thanks for the hint Krazllvan! Please send us further informations at marketing@sitbrush.com
I was thinking about getting one of these brush head's for work. But stihl and husqvarna do not recommend using them on any of there strimmers as they will break the gear box and void the warranty 🥺
Hello Jonathan,
Most of the manufacturers don’t recognize this as an official accessory yet but we are convinced that this will happen soon. Anyway these brushes work very well with powerful gas trimmers (over 1.5hp) without any damage on the gear box and this was widely tested on the field by us and by many satisfied customers. Let us know if we can support you!
Can this be used to trim sidewalk edges as well
That's what this is designed for.
Where do you get the hardware to mount it? We got the wheel and that's it.
Hello Paula Miller,
Please double check on the packaging on the brush. The original product has a big SIT red and white squared logo in every box and has “Made in Italy” clearly engraved in the metal cup of the brush. Then we can guarantee that in every SIT brush box there’s a bag with adapters and instructions and safety indications. Let us know!
What about the Black and Decker that has a wheel and the shaft a hollow cylinder surrounded by an unremovable cylinder that houses the spool?
Hello Wasabi Bluecorn,
Do you have an item # so that we can be more precise in the feedback on compatibility? Anyway we can state that until today we didn’t find any Black+Decker battery operated trimmer capable of mounting or using SIT brushes with satisfying performance. Thank you for contacting us!
I drilled a hole in the spool cap and screwed it on. I'm waiting until the grass dries before testing it. It spins fairly for a 20 V battery.
Hello Wasabi Bluecorn,
Modifying the spool or any other component of the trimmer is absolutely NOT recommended and unsafe. Plus we tested a B+D 20V (without modifying the spool/head) and it was ineffective. We invite you to reconsider your intentions and on the other side you can consider using a gas operated trimmer or a Ego Power+ trimmer that until today is the only battery operated trimmer that passed our tests. Let us know if we can support you further and thanks for contacting us.
I got the same head in the video will it fit on a home lite ut 20677
Hello Zach, we have no experience with the mentioned trimmer nor we could find reliable informations in the web. It’s important the motor size (above 1.5hp) and the possibility to take off the filament head. If you have any doubt please send us pictures of the machine with detail of the trimming head and of the trimmer label applied on the motor at marketing@sitbrush.com.
Looking forward to read from you soon
I need the sizes of the washers and where I can get them. I bought this brush head but it didn't come with any attachments
hello Darkangel8482 we are sorry to read this. Please contact us at socialmedia@sitbrush.com and we will happily assist you. Please enclose in your message the photos of the product & the label that you bought. Warm regards.
HELP! When i got to fasten the Nut on it doesn't reach the treads. :'(
You would sell a lot more of these if you can recommend some trimmers that will definitely accept this attachment. I am looking for a corded electric
Thank you very much Zubin H for the hint. We are currently working on this list and it requires a lot of testing. Can you give us a few informations on what kind of brands/models you were looking for? Until today even corded electric trimmers are not very recommended for this kind of brushes. But we need to study more before giving a definitive answer. Thank you again and have a nice day
Heck yes, can you imaging cleaning off some gnarly bad metal and having a good 4 feet between you and flying face poking badness? SIGN ME UP.
@@botakbishop1441 Per my comment above, this removes a great deal of the face poking and eye gouging from rust and debris flinging off the cleared area. Sure, just wear a shield too that also helps.
BUu if a fella is cleaning out the floor pan of a 78 cadillac deville, for example, that reach will get the bulk of everything done from the doorframe... which is a godsend for those of us old fat guys with worn out joints. Then you can crawl in for the close up detail work and minimize your time knee to steel.
Hello Botak Bishop, it’s very effective to remove grass or other stuff from hard surfaces. Alternatives would be: normal filament for trimmer but it would wear out very quickly, or a chemical herbicide but it’s often forbidden since it’s highly polluting... this is why a brush is better 😉
Will this work on a Black & Decker plug in trimmer model?
Hello itsthatguyphil! The corded/plug in B+D trimmers model we tried are too light for this application. Do you have any gas trimmer you can mount these brushes on? Thanks for asking!
@@SITBRUSHtv excuse me, but it doesn’t work for any weed eater? Any electrical? Because I bought it for an electric weed eater. The guy who sale it says is for any weed eater.
Hello Martha,
It doesn’t work for any trimmer. It works only for gas trimmers above 1.5 Hp (that allow you to take off the filament head and access the threaded spindle around which you should mount the brush) and for very very powerful battery trimmers (until today only the Ego Power + battery trimmer passed our tests).
This is also specified in our packaging/ in our safety leaflet provided with every original SIT brush Made in Italy. Please tell us in private, via email at marketing@sitbrush.com where you got your brush from so we can provide proper training and convince him to eventually substitute your product.
Thank you and Have a nice day!
Would it fit McGregor 3-in-1 30cm Corded Grass Trimmer - 450W
Hello Shyda Parveen,
Only gas trimmers are recommended for this use or very powerful battery trimmers such as Ego Power+. Un luckily no corded trimmer tested until today will be suitable for this use
*** NOTE *** To install this in Australia, you need to find a reversible, or left handed M8 nut, as none of the nuts supplied will work on an Australian Whipper Snipper. and they are very hard to find.
Thank you Ash for your note!
Thanks for the advice but where did you find the M8 nut?

Where can I purchase the washers for this item?
Hello Gandy
Please write to info@sitbrush.com in private mentioning this request and specifying your address so we will indicate the best purchasing option... our brushes all come with the set of adapters and By the way our washers kit is made with commercial washers and the safety leaflet. We can send you the pdf of the latter but we also recommend to go in the closest hardware shop with your trimmer and ask for washers that will allow you to mount the brush... in any case keep us posted
Will this damage my concrete or brick if I accidentally put it up too close to it?
Hello Kai Shan Chua, this version is the toughest brush for trimmer we have and it’s designed specifically for asphalt so if you are using it on softer materials such as irregular concrete or bricks we recommend you to use the lughter version of this brush that you can see at this link: czcams.com/video/1N9tDtwtlxY/video.html
Let us know if we can support further
Yes
Hi, will this fit a Bosch trimmer (specifically: ART 26-18 LI Grass Trimmer)? I have serious patio weeds and this looks just the thing ...
Hello Mike!
Bosch 26-18 LI Grass Trimmer is too light for mounting brushes and actually it can be considered more like an edger. Indeed you can change the small blades/nails (Durablades) but you can't change the full trimmer head accessing to the threaded spindle where to mount other accessories like brushes or larger blades.
Our recommendation is to buy (or borrow) a gas trimmer or a very heavy duty battery trimmer (they are usually very expensive and hard to find in the market).
Please let us know if you need further indications
@@SITBRUSHtv OK, many thanks!
@@mikecowlishaw6409 Thank you and let us know if you are able to find a solution for your application or if you need further assistance!
I bought this but it doesn't fit my grass trimmer. Any suggestions on which electric grass trimmer I should buy for this brush attachment?
Hello Ranjan Raja. What type of trimmer do you have?
With electric (battery operated) trimmers we still don't have a solution but we are currently testing different options. We can already tell you that it won't fit any "edger" because edgers let you only change the spool while they won't let you take off the whole trimming head in order to mount the brush.
Anyway for lighter trimmers you should try this lighter version of the brush

Does it fit a black & decker grass hog xp electric
Hello Faith,
This B+D grass hog XP just lets you change filament spool. In order to mount a brush you need to be able to take off the full trimmer head and mount the brush on the spindle, then tighten it. Right now the only electric trimmer that lets you run this brush properly among the ones that we tested is the Ego Power + trimmer. Or a wide variety of gas trimmers with motor size above 1.5hp
Thank you and have fun brushing!
Can this be installed on a bent shaft trimmer such as the STIHL FS-38?
Hello Vijay. The STIHL FS 38 has a declared power of 0.9 hp while we recommend the use with trimmers above 1.5 hp so in this case we strongly recommend you to chose a more powerful model for using it with a SIT brush
I hope this helps... And thank you for contacting us!
@@SITBRUSHtv That helps. Thanks very much.
You are welcome! Thank you for asking
What is the cheapest trimmer that can handle the head attachment
Hello woodoochile333, there are many gas trimmers very affordable from many brands so we just recommend to pick the right motor size (over 1.5 hp)
Hi would this work on a karcher cordless strummer
Hi Geoff! This brush doesn’t work on a Karcher cordless trimmer. At least not with the models made by Karcher until today. It works on gas trimmer above 1.5hp in motor size. The only cordless trimmer that successfully passed our tests is Ego Power+ multi tool.
Have fun brushing!
what kind of trimmers are you talking about, is a straight shaft or a curve shaft trimmer
Hello Codfish862! We prefer and recommend trimmers with straight shaft. What kind of trimmer do you have/prefer?
Thanks for asking!
What size is that bolt/nut normally?
Hello Gabe,
The bolt is very specific for the trimmer. Most common ones are M10 and M12 (always with the left-handed thread) but then every tool manufacturer has its own specification. We recommend that you check your tool manual or you go in a hardware shop with your tool and ask for the right nut
Hi will this be compatible with a weelt650 strimmer? Thanks
Hi Kamran Meah. No it’s not compatible with Weelt650 trimmer (electric corded). You should use it with a gas trimmer with over 1.5hp power. Have fun brushing!
would this fit onto a Flymo Contour 500E
Hello Royston Harris,
Only gas trimmers are recommended for this use, or very powerful battery trimmers such as Ego Power+. Unluckily no corded trimmer (like Flymi contour 500e) tested until today will be suitable for this use.
Thank you and have fun brushing
Will,this fit echo gas trimmers? Any additional hardware needed?
Hello Dave,
Do you have any specs (power, HP, cc) of the trimmer?
We recommend the use on trimmers with power above 1.6HP for intense use. Every SIT original brush for trimmers comes with a set of washers/adapters and the safety and mounting instructions but in any case you can find standard adapters/washers in any hardware shop taking with you the trimmer and the brush. Please keep us posted in case you need further indications... and have fun brushing!
how can you put them on ryobi cordless grass trimmers?
My Ryobi has the bolt with 6 sides. I dont think these will work
Won't that mess up spring bushings since there's no flex in the wire when it hits something
Hello Paul!
The brush will not damage the bushings since actually each single wire hitting the hard surface is thinner than the filament you would normally use. Moreover being the brush in a wheel shape it will generate a homogeneous momentum of continuous rotation with less stress peaks on the mashine. Hope this helps!
Awesome gunna try it to 👍

Will the 9ah Dewalt battery powered 60v work with this?
Hello TheMass33. We haven’t tested the new 9ah Dewalt 60v battery trimmer but we will sure do and then we will be back to you. It looks very powerful but we must test it before approving it. If you can’t wait though you can check if it allows to take of the filament/trimming head and if it allows to mount other accessories like blades.

is this can be used with bosch UniversalGrassCut 18-260 ?
Hello Flybywirekennel, unluckily Bosch Universal Grass Cut 18-260 is not compatible with our brush. This Bosch tool is designed as an edger and it’s very light, it just allows you to take off the filament spool but it won’t let you take off the full trimming head and mount something else, like our brush. Let us know if we can support finding something else
@@SITBRUSHtv thank you really much your answer, it helped so much. Would you write compatible devices for sitbrush?
Thank you for asking. As a general indication we recommend to use these brushes with gas trimmers with higher power than 1.5 hp.
For battery trimmers we are still in the testing phase cooperating with a few trimmer manufacturers. Until today we couldn’t find a solution that guarantees a satisfying use of our brushes, even the lighter version in Nylon, with battery trimmers BUT as soon as we find out something we will be back to you or we will publish a new dedicated video. Keep us posted and have fun brushing
Does it fit on Stihl FSA45?
Hello Walter Ricci,
Unluckily Stihk FSA 45 is considered more an edger than a trimmer and it can’t mount this brush.. until today we recommend the choice of gas trimmers or very powerful battery trimmers (only Ego Power Plus has been successfully tested and approved)
hi does this fit my Ryobi gas string trimmer model#Ry252cs curve shaft
Hi Kim
It’s a 25cc Model so it should work even if we haven’t tested this precise item. We had a look at the user manual found on Ryobi website but we couldn’t check if you can take off the trimming head in order to access to the threaded spindle around which you mount the brush. But since you have it you can check it quickly before purchasing the brush. Anyway we are confident it should work. Please make sure to buy a sitbrush original brush when looking for the “brush cutter brush” because the market is full of imitations and they don’t even come with the necessary adapters to fit every trimmer! Have fun brushing and keep us posted
@SITBRUSHtv you can get to spindle on ryobi but it is a six sided bolt.
dose this fit a flymo strimmer
Hello lain Duncan, I'm sorry but this won't be suitable for a Flymo trimmer. As far as we were able to study, these are more like edgers and you can't take off the filament head, you can just change the filament spool. This is the first reason why. Second reason is that they are very light duty and this brush will be to heavy to be operated by these machines. Let us know if we can support you further
I bought one but it does not fit a Worx 45Volt string trimmer.
Hello Imntacrook, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it looks like that all the Workx 45 volt trimmers we could find are more "edgers" than "trimmers" and the majority of the edgers won't allow you to take off the trimming head in order to mount the brush. You can only change the filament spool. BUT no worries. If you bought an original SITBRUSH brush Made in Italy you can return it (if still new) in the shop you bought it from and we will take it back with a 100% refound. Where did you buy it? Please make sure it has the SIT logo on the box and it has "made in Italy" on the brush. Let us know if we can support you furtherly.
Would this work on B&D ‘s corded electric trimmer?
Hello Dil Ruba! The B+D corded electric trimmer is not powerful/heavy enough to run this brush properly. Not the models we tried until today at least. This is the reason why we still recommend the use on Gas trimmer with at least 1.5hp.

Salve, ho comprato la vostra spazzola Extreme, che vorrei montarla su uno STIHL FS 120 R , infatti mi sembrava mancasse qualcosa nella confezione.... ed è proprio la rondella piccola che si mette prima di avvitare il dado di bloccaggio, nella confezione ci sono 3 rondelle ben più grosse e di dimensioni tutte diverse... Ho qualche dubbio nel montarla
Buongiorno Enrico, grazie per averci contattato e per aver scelto una delle nostre spazzole. Una precisazione: rispetto al video il diametro esterno delle rondelle potrebbe cambiare ma ciò che è importante è il diametro interno che permette il centraggio sul perno del suo decespugliatore stihl. Nel suo caso lei dovrebbe montare prima la spazzola, sulla coppia conica, poi montare la rondella d’alluminio con il “gradino” che aiuta a centrare la spazzola ed a seguire una delle 3 rondelle, quella più stretta sul perno del decespugliatore e che con il suo diametro andrà in battuta sulla rondella d’alluminio a “gradino”. In questo modo quando, concludendo, lei stringerà il dado di serraggio, questo spingerà la rondella d’acciaio contro la rondella d’alluminio garantendo una tenuta più solida.
Farlo è più facile che scriverlo ma se lei avesse ancora dei dubbi ci scriva a marketing@sitbrush.com dove le potremo condividere ulteriori istruzioni o eventualmente un numero di telefono per sentirci in videochiamata e guidarla nel montaggio.
Buona giornata
@@SITBRUSHtv grazie potrebbe lasciarmi il contatto per la videochiamata, nel caso avessi problemi, grazie

No, unluckily Black+Decker based on our experience doesn't have yet any model in range that is powerful enough to support this kind of trimmer brush (and hardly ever you can find a B+D trimmer that can mount something else beside filament)...until today at least and based on what we tested.

Hello Daniel Corbin, it’s a pity you didn’t receive any adapter but eventually you purchased an imitation. Please double check the box it came with (the original SITBRUSH box has a big red and white logo with SIT written inside) and the brush that has “Made in Italy” clearly engraved in the metal cup. In every SITBRUSH box there are safety and mounting instructions together with an adapter set. Please keep us posted
Will this brush fit a black and decker grasshog?
Botak Bishop I’m not sure how you posed the question, but this is not a welding power brush, this is a brush for string trimmers- and the Grasshog is a string trimmer.
Hello John Ferreira
Until today we couldn’t find any Black+Decker battery trimmer that could mount this brush and run it properly. But we are still testing. Until today we can state that only gas trimmers and Ego Power Plus battery trimmers are very effective with this brush
SITBRUSH it’s not battery operated, it’s electric wired.
Hello John, sorry for the misunderstanding. Actually our observations are valid for corded electric trimmers too...
Fits on Stihl FS-91R?
Hello Heliosphan,
Stihl FS-91R has a power of 0.95kW or 1.3hp. We recommend a power level above 1kW or 1.5hp but we tested that even a 1.3hp motor as your Stihl FS-91R will work without any issues for at least 30 minutes continuous work. We recommend to choose more powerful trimmers for extended working necessities (more than 30 minutes per day)
Thanks for your request and have fun brushing!
These will only work on a weed eater with a clutch drive. If you have a direcct drive like most weed eaters, it will be nearly impossible to start. The weight of the wire wheel is too heavy causing the pull start to not be fast enough. I just installed one on a warmed up machine and I could not turn the engine fast enough to start it.
Hello Hyper Butiki, I confirm that the majority of the light trimmers have the “direct feed” that you mention while the majority of the gas trimmer above 1.5 horse power can mount and run this brush with much satisfaction!
Thanks for your considerations
Will this fit a curved shaft trimmer?
Hello jeffj1701a, generally speaking yes, it fits, the limit is on the motor size (higher than 1.5hp). Thanks
@@SITBRUSHtv do u have instructions on how to make it fit on a curved shaft trimmer? I can't get it to fit on mine.
Hello Jeffj1701a, please have a look at the last picture and last 2 videos in this page
www.sitbrush.com/Spazzole-per-decespugliatore-PDF.php
There should be no difference with other straight shaft trimmers if you can take off the normal filament head
is it a universal trimmer head, that can fit on any trimmer? I have a Black & Decker Electrick Trimmer. and I would really love to use this wired trimmer head on it
Hello Stacey! Yes the brush is “universal” and it comes with a full set of washers with it. BUT this specific brush isn’t recommended for the use on electric trimmers. I recommend you to see and try the CO170 Nylon version you can see in this video
czcams.com/video/1N9tDtwtlxY/video.html
If you want to know more please contact us at info@sitbrush.com. Thanks again and I hope you will enjoy
Lies! Won’t fit all trimmers. I ordered one and it absolutely does not mount to my trimmer. False advertisement. I’m literally looking at my disassembled trimmer now and it will not mount in any way without modification.
Hello @@KiddFlow40 Can you please send to marketing@sitbrush.com further informations:
1. picture of the brush and packaging you bought
2. model of the trimmer you bought.
As a thumb rule we can say that the brush, with the set of adapters it comes with, can be mounted on any trimmer that gives access to the threaded spindle. Some trimmers won't let you disassemble the trimming head and in this case there's no way you can mount the brush. This happens frequently on lightweight electric trimmers.
Please write to us and we will do our best to support. Thanks
Can i put a wire brush in place of a speed feed?
Hello Phillip Belon, we had to study a little bit and we found out that there are quite a few different types of speed feed trimmer heads but you have to take off the full head and access the threaded spindle. The brush must be mounted around it.
Hope this helps
@@SITBRUSHtv thank you SO MUCH!! I dont want to sound ungrateful, but I also did some research, found the same answer, BUT I never would have gone down the right path if i hadn't found your video. Thank you thank you SO MUCH.
(The wire brush is a beast!! F**k those speed feed heads!)
Thank you so much Phillip Belon for your enthusiasm! Have fun while brushing !
@@SITBRUSHtv thanks for all the hard work y'all do for us weekend warriors!
Thank you Phillip! I like the concept of “weekend warriors”!
I asked the question before I ordered “will this work on a Black & Decker battery powered”? They said yes! 😤
Ah that’s frustrating! Who said so? You should take it back where you bought it
I have just broken my Black and decker trimmer. This does not work on all trimmer
Hello Mary Tremble,
I’m sorry for what happened to your trimmer. Can you please inform us what model it was? We recommend the use of original SIT brushes with trimmers above 1.5hp or 1kW, as written in the safety instructions provided with every brush. We’re you using a SITBRUSH product? We would love hearing your feedback here or by email at marketing@sitbrush.com since it will help us improving or being more clear in the instructions provided.
Thank you very much for your comment
Can this go on a ryobi weed wacker?
Hello jsantiago02.
It depends on the weed wacker model/size.
- Usually no problems on gas trimmers while it's not suitable for light battery trimmers/edgers
- For tougher battery trimmers (Ryobi has some 40V in range) you need to check first if the trimmer head can be take off in order to mount the brush head. Anyway we recommend a lighter version of this brush that can be found at this link czcams.com/video/1N9tDtwtlxY/video.html
I hope this helps but let us know further informations or if you need more assistance. Have fun brushing!
Wow never thought of doing that and never will either.
Hello David!
Why don't you try?!? It's safe and very effective!
If you have specific doubts you can contact us at info@sitbrush.com and we can send you more instructions.
Have a great day
Once those wires get loose...and they will .You better have above average safety gear on !
This is always true. Consider that these brushes are originally engineered for hard metal working/heavy duty removal...it will take a while for “soft” asphalt and plants to consume this brush
How is that any different than using them on an angle grinder? Lol more dangerous on an angle grinder.
@@superwedgieExactly, and the action is taking place much further away from you.
I purchased this item and there was nothing in the box except the brush. There were no washers or anything else. This item DOES NOT fit either of my trimmers, I have a Craftsman gas trimmer and a Black & Decker cordless trimmer. The description when I purchased it said it would fit most trimmers and these are two of the most popular in the states. Please help so I don't have to return it.
Hello Arnold,
I'm sorry for this inconvenience. Can you please tell me what brush brand you purchased? Where did you buy it? If you have doubts please send a picture of the brush and the packaging at marketing@sitbrush.com.
The video refers to the original product, SIT is the brand and "Made in Italy" is stamped on the brush.
Our original brush comes with a complete set of adapters which let you mount it on almost any trimmer. At least it can be mounted on your gas trimmer.
Please be aware that, based on our experience, the Black+Decker trimmer is an "edger" in reality and it doesn't let you take off the trimming head. it just allows you to take off and change the filament spool.
Anyway for light trimmers we recommend a lighter version of this brush that can be found at this link czcams.com/video/1N9tDtwtlxY/video.html
I hope this helps but let us know further informations or if you need more assistance. Have fun brushing!
I've got the wire wheel but need the nut and washer where can i get them from?
Hello Steve! Our original SIT branded brush should come with a complete set of washers and adapters (while the nut is usually provided with the string trimmer). In case you received an incomplete set please contact us with more details at info@sitbrush.com. Anyway be aware that both the adapters and washers are pretty standard and you can find them in an average hardware shop...keep us posted and have fun brushing!!!
Disappointed, cant find whasher and nut
But ,I ordered from Walmart
Robert Rezaei , same here. I received my wheel today but sans nut and washers.
I’m very sorry Robert but I think that Walmart is not selling our original SIT branded brush. Please send us a picture and I can confirm. Anyway together with all the SIT brushes for trimmer we supply a set of washer BUT without the threaded nut which should be supplied with by the trimmer manufacturer. If not, or if lost, check the trimmer instructions for the nut type then it should be easily found online or in a hardware shop. Please keep us posted on this
How much inch is it?
Hello Ape! This one in the video is 8” in diameter. We also have in range the 7” knotted wire and 7” crimped wire
Let me know if we can support! Best regards
I've sent a request twice to the so trends people who seem to be incapable of answering the simple question..does it work with electric battery operated strimmer's. Still waiting for a reply. Maybe they don't understand English?

Hi. Which strimmer would you recommend with this steel brushed? Thanks
Hi Shay! We don’t have any brand preferences but we can absolutely recommend a professional or semi professional trimmer with 1.6hp when using a large brush like the one in this video (200 mm = 8in). And even this recommendation strongly depends on the kind of use you are thinking about if continuous for many hours a day or just for a few hours a month for a regular backyard maintenance. What kind of application are you thinking about? Or what machine options are you considering?
So we can be more precise...but in the mean time I hope this helps
Have a nice day!
@@SITBRUSHtv hey thanks for your reply. I would really prefer a battery operated strimmer or an electric corded one. It'll be to deweed between the block paving in front driveway & back garden slabs have crinkle cut edges with 1 inch gaps that are alowing weeds to constantly pop up. Both the areas are aprox 22ft by 15ft so not very large & I will only deweed probably 2 or 3 times yearly. Thanks for your time & advise & I hope this info helps? Cheers
@@SITBRUSHtv Pretty much same situation, but for me, I'll be stripping a metal roof for mobile home. Will this brush be up to the task? Also, recommend or suggest specs for both, electric or gas trimmer.
In advance, I thank you very much for your help and advice/recommendations.
@@cesarrodriguez9597 Considering the state-of-art of the string trimmers in the market we must recommend a gas trimmer. About the brush: if the rust is "light" we recommend the Liz cord crimped wire version you can see in this video: czcams.com/video/9XbAWl4cqD0/video.html
If the rust is old and hard you should use a knotted brush like the one in this video you just commented or in this video:
czcams.com/video/Y94M4TbGAuc/video.html
I hope this helps and once you are working on it please share with us some pictures or tag @sitbrush on social media (Facebook and Instagram)

I just received my trimmer, and it does not fit on my weed eater. I use my weed eater around the house, for edging and cutting down weeds. I have a TroyBuilt, and I see no reasonable way to mount this head. What weed trimmer unit would you recommend for residential use?
I don't know if it matters, but I'm in the USA.
The wire head keeps spinning itself off. After 5min of use, it has completely loosened the nut.
Hello Aaron Stevens. This is not supposed to happen and since the brush has a plain bore it’s not the reason of your issue. Doing some troubleshooting I can guess one of these 2 reasons:
1. The threaded nut is not the original one or it’s not the right one (M14 against M10 for example but it depends on your trimmer and what is specified in the instruction booklet) or it isn’t a self tightening nut. Indeed the more the brush spins the more the nut locks itself
2. The spindle is too short and the nut doesn’t catch enough threads to tighten or the spindle threads are worn out.
Let us know or send us pictures at info@sitbrush.com at the attention of the marketing department mentioning this conversation.
Thanks

Does this fit on a Ryobi 18 volt edger?
Hello Len Domingo,
Edgers are often too light for mounting anything else than filament. Actually the majority of them, like the Ryobi edger, won’t even let you take off the trimmer head in order to access to the threaded spindle where you can mount other accessories like a sitbrush. We recommend gas trimmers but if you want to stick to battery trimmers then the only one that successfully passed our tests is the Ego Power+ multitool. Hope this helps!
My wire wheel didn't come with that 😔
Hello Oliver, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience but it looks like there's someone in the market using our original video/pictures and selling a fake product. Where did you buy your brush? If you want please send a picture of the brush and the packaging at marketing@sitbrush.com and be aware that the original brush comes with a big red and white SIT logo in the box and with "Made in Italy" marked in the metal parts of the brush. If you help us fighting this bad service provided by others it will be appreciated. Thanks

Why?
Hello Bigmac!
Because with this brush for string trimmer you will save A LOT of time in the removal of unwanted "green" stuff around your asphalt or walkway!
Have a great day!
SIT Tecnospazzole You should have shown in use. My first thought also was why or what is it used for? It looks like it would do more damage than good.
Hello 40mmrrsmith! The use is shown on the same playlist of this video or visit www.sitbrush.tv/st on your browser. It’s actually very effective and each metallic wire is a lot thinner than the nylon ones you would normally use. Of course, as anything, it must be used carefully and far from any person, pet or vehicle...as you would normally do with the nylon filament
Can this fit on a worx trimmer?
Hello Tiz, We haven't tested any Worx trimmer yet but we can recommend to you to double check if the model lets you take off the trimming head in order to access the threaded spindle where to mount the brush. Based on what we saw in Worx website even the tougher models like the 56V 13" cordless string trimmer doesn't look like a real trimmer but it looks mainly like an edger to us. Even in terms of weight it seems very light for the application. In any case for lighter trimmer we recommend a lighter brush like the one in this video: czcams.com/video/1N9tDtwtlxY/video.html
Thanks for your request and let us know if you are able to find the proper model of trimmer or if we will have further recommendations for you we will keep in touch.
