I have a Black and Decker Trimmer. When I try to use it, the entire part that contains the string falls off (the spool housing falls off). The spool housing is completely threaded since it is plastic, and the motor screw is metal.

What do I replace? I've tried looking for replacement spool housing, but I can't find any specifically for my model. Actually, I can't find many hits for replacement spool housing parts at all. I checked Amazon and they basically said that this trimmer was a piece of junk and that similar things happened to them.

Would it be viable to add a few drops of thread lock?
