    Hi all,

    This screw fell from my strimmer.

    Any idea what its called? Where can I get one? What tool fits in it?

    Thanks

    P.S. Should I be a hand model?

    Looks like a Torx headed bolt to me.

    If there is a bit of grass on it, could be off the guard. check exhaust too

    Just replace it with a regular hexhead or allenhead type bolt.
