Craftsman 797-00022 Spool Retainer

Product Description

The CRAFTSMAN 797-00022 is a spool retainer designed to secure the trimmer line spool on compatible string trimmers and brush cutters. This small but critical component holds the spool in place on the trimmer head, preventing line feed failures and ensuring consistent cutting performance. Licensed technicians and equipment service professionals install this part as a direct OEM-style replacement when the original retainer is cracked, stripped, or missing. It is a standard wear item in string trimmer head assemblies and one of the first components to inspect when spool ejection or line-feed problems occur.

This spool retainer is suited for residential and light commercial string trimmer applications. It fits trimmer heads found on walk-behind and handheld grass trimmers used in lawn care and landscape maintenance. The raw description references Troy-Bilt parts and accessories cross-application context, indicating this retainer may serve overlapping equipment lines that share compatible trimmer head assemblies. Equipment dealers and small-engine service technicians routinely stock this type of retainer to support fast turnaround on trimmer head repairs.
