Description
Overview:
This Reel for Makita BHX2500 and BHX2501 is a genuine Makita replacement part for the recoil starter system. The reel sits inside the starter housing and holds the pull cord, guiding it smoothly during pull-start and rewind. Manufactured from hard‐wearing plastic for long service life, it is engineered to the correct dimensions for reliable engagement with the starter spring and pawls. Replacing a worn, cracked, or distorted reel restores consistent starting and helps prevent rope snagging or uneven rewind. Designed for Makita petrol-powered handheld tools, including the BHX2500 and BHX2501 leaf blowers, it fits selected brushcutters and multi-tools listed below. As an OEM component, it installs cleanly in place of the original reel and supports routine maintenance on professional and domestic machines.
Key Features:
- Genuine Makita OEM part for assured fit and performance (MPN: 451937-8)
- Direct replacement for the original recoil starter reel
- Durable moulded construction to resist wear, heat, fuel, and oil exposure
- Accurate profile for smooth cord tracking and fast, even rewind

- Restores reliable cold and warm starting on petrol machines
- Suitable for regular maintenance on trade, hire, and domestic equipment
- Genuine part status reduces risk of poor fit or premature failure
