Where the nylon line gives up, this keeps going
Trimmer line is fine on soft green growth. Put it against the dried mat of weed, moss and old stalk that fills the joint between two slabs, or the strip at the foot of a fence, and it wears away in seconds. You spend the morning feeding out more line and the strip still looks the same.
This is a different cutting head for the same machine. A dished steel plate carries a ring of tightly twisted steel wire tufts around its rim. Spun on a brush cutter, those wires beat the growth out of the crack instead of slicing at it, and they take the loose surface film with it — no chemicals, no kneeling, no wire brush on a stick.
Read this before you order: it has to fit your machine
This is a cutting attachment that spins at high speed. Fitting it to the wrong machine, or to a machine whose guard is missing, is how people get hurt. Two minutes with your own machine now saves a return and a bad afternoon.
The wheel has a plain round center bore of 1 in (25.4 mm) — that number is printed on the manufacturer's own dimension drawing for both sizes. It is made for a straight-shaft brush cutter or trimmer whose gearbox takes a blade of that bore. If your machine takes a metal blade already, measure the boss the blade sits on. If it only ever takes a bump-feed line spool, or the shaft between your hands and the head is curved, this is not the attachment for it.
What we can tell you about fitment, and what we cannot
We would rather be straight with you than sell you a wheel that will not go on.
Documented: the center bore is 1 in (25.4 mm), round, with a ring of rivets around it. The wheel is a drop-on attachment — it sits over your machine's own drive boss and is held by your machine's own washer and nut.
Not documented, so we will not claim it: the manufacturer does not publish a thread size, a thread direction, a maximum speed, or a list of machines this has been tested on. So we do not print one. Check the fixing nut and shaft on your own machine against the wheel's bore before you buy, and use the same washer and nut arrangement your blade uses. If you are not sure, your machine's manual will name the blade bore it accepts.
Two sizes, and you choose one
The two sizes are the same wheel built to a different diameter. The 6 in (15 cm) is the one for joints, edges and the strip along a fence — smaller sweep, easier to steer into a corner, less load on the machine. The 8 in (20 cm) clears a wider band per pass, which is what you want on a long run of path or a big patch of established weed.
Both share the same 1 in (25.4 mm) bore, so the size you pick does not change what it fits.
What actually arrives
One wheel, in the size you select. That is what the manufacturer's packing list says, word for word: one weeding wheel.
It is listed as one wheel only — no mounting nut, washers or adapter. The product photographs that show those parts are the manufacturer's assembly diagrams, not a picture of the box. Fit it using the washer and nut that already hold your machine's blade on. If your machine has never had a blade on it, source the fixings for your model before the wheel arrives.
How it is put together
The hub is one piece of pressed steel, dished like a shallow saucer so the wire ring stands proud of the plate and meets the ground at an angle rather than flat on. The wire is not loose bristle: each tuft is a rope of fine steel strands twisted tight, riveted into the rim, so it stays stiff under load instead of splaying out on the first pass.
That stiffness is the whole point of the tool, and it is also why it needs respect — a stiff steel wire leaving a spinning wheel travels a long way.

Questions people ask
Will it fit a push lawn mower? No. This is an attachment for a hand-held straight-shaft brush cutter or trimmer, not for a walk-behind or ride-on mower deck.
Will it fit my curved-shaft trimmer? Almost certainly not. Curved-shaft machines are generally built for line only. Check your manual for whether it accepts a blade at all.
Does it come with the nut and washers? No — the packing list is one wheel. Use the fixings your machine's blade uses.
How fast can I run it? The manufacturer does not publish a maximum speed for this wheel, so we cannot give you one. Do not run your machine above the speed its own manual allows for a metal cutting attachment.
Can I use it on gravel? We would not. A spinning steel wire will throw loose stone a long way. Keep it to hard surfaces, joints and soil-bound growth.
What is the “multi-size set” option? Honest answer: the manufacturer lists it without saying what is in it, and the photograph supplied with it shows mounting hardware rather than a wheel. Until we have that in writing we would rather you ordered by wheel size, so you know exactly what is coming. If the multi-size set is what you want, message us first and we will confirm it before it ships.
Which size should I get? Joints, edges and fence lines: 6 in (15 cm). Long runs of path and bigger patches: 8 in (20 cm).
