the auto feed feeds line when you DONT WANT it, and doesnt feedf when you DO want it, leading to breaking the line.

i was so happy once i swapped to shindy type heads.

they work EVERY time, and as long as you dont take the line cutter off the snipper, so you dont get too much line out, they work brilliant.

have probably worn through 10 heads for the t230, and 3 for the fs130.

brilliant.
Yes, you are absolutely right. In my opinion if you aren't using a speed feed you are wasting your time and money. I drill the spool hole out so I can put 2.7 to 3mm line in. I won't use anything else any more.
