20 Best Weed Eater String For Thick Brush (2023 Updated)

This stuff is 10 star to me. Gator Magnum Trim Line is great. Cuts through the hardiest of things. Lasts longer than normal line as it is larger and has the kevlar in the middle. I use a fixed line head and will use much less of this than on a bump head and why?? no idea, just do.

Tripped over this gator stuff years back and happy I found it. I love it and recommend it. Some say too expensive, but you use less of it, so is a great pay if forward trade off. I will always use it.

I am sorry , and I hate to complain , but this was worse than worthless. I might have been better off on my hands and knees with a pair of scissors. The day I bought this product , my grandson mowed three small lawns.

We had to constantly forward the line , often having to open the bobbin to retrieve the line. The line just kept breaking. The borders / edges of these three small lawns are now full of bits of blue plastic.

I don’t know if it is a bad batch , or if it is so old that it is dried out , or what , but 50 or 60 feet of strimmer line for three small lawns is ridiculous. I might not have bothered to say anything , but you asked.

This size of trimmer line is recommended for my Bauer trimmer. So, I reckoned to spend almost half the price for 100’ line and rewind the line unto the spool myself instead buying the Bauer two-pack of the itty-bitty spools with only 10’ of line on each spool.

How how hard can it be to rewind the line onto the spool myself? If I can do it pert near anyone can do it.

Pros: None really Cons: Poor durability requiring many re-spools. Poor overall performance. Seems soft, spongy and undersized in diameter. Same price as much better quality Xtreme line Summary: Ordered this by mistake, and what a mistake it was! As great a product as their peppermint-striped Xtreme line is, this more than makes up for it! On my first spool, I was able to go about 50 feet in a straight line on rough terrain before it ran empty.

After switching to the Xtreme line, I was able to go about 5X farther on the next spool with line still left when I needed to stop for a refuel. Recommend avoiding this one. Go for the peppermint-striped one which is the best line I have ever used.

Price is the about the same.

Being weary of the lightweight trimmer line troubles experienced with my battery-operated double line string trimmer, I had hoped this “commercial” line would bring relief from the constant re-loading or rewinding of the line but unfortunately it is not the case.

The line is a bit stiffer than the other products but otherwise behaves exactly the same as the other wimpy trimmer line sold most anywhere. It breaks off, jambs, or flies out of the trimmer head on a constant basis with no improved performance whatsoever.

I am careful to wind it in the proper direction and re-assemble just as the instructions recommend and it is the only way it can be done to my knowledge. The problem isn’t prevalent in the electric (plug-in) or gas powered trimmers previously used, but the battery-operated unit that I have seems to have no cure, even the pre-wound spools don’t perform well.

I wanted to try a replacement line in my Worx edge trimmer and tried this brand. It works great and is a lot cheaper than buying the replacement cartridges. You have to hand wind them yourself but it will be worth it over the long term in savings.

This line cuts well and I have had no issue with the operation of the trimmer.

I was unhappy with the breakage of the generic brands that I had purchased. I thought I would step up and get a better product. I found that this product broke much faster than what I had been using that cost less than half as much.

To experiment, I put one line of each product in my trimmer. The Husqvarna product broke off after very little use while the other product continued to be usable. After trying 8 or 10 times. I threw the roll away.

I’ve been using trimmer line from Stihl, Echo, and other well known companies for a long time. None of these cut as fast and complete, or lasted as long, or ran without binding as well as Husqvarna’s Titanium Force line.

I’ve hooked on this line ever since. It really saves me a lot of time weed whacking.

I recently bought a Husky Line Trimmer. It came with this line. I was amazed at how long it lasted! I went all season working my 1 acer yard. I edge the road, drive, planter boxes, fence line and under fruit trees.

Previously I re-spooled every week during the Summer months. I went back to my dealer and asked for the line that came on it. they didn’t sell it but very condescendingly assured me they were the pros I their line was best.

Well it wasn’t. I feel back into the weekly respooling. Now that is not a huge task. My Husky is very easy to respool. but, to stop interrupts my stride and really slows me down. I am happy again, I have the right line.

Yes, it increases power by accelerating faster, cutting better, more goes on the spool with less effort. It cost a few cents more per pound but delivers so much more. I DO believe that the pro’s know best! But pros are in the yard not the store!.

This square section trimmer line is very good for cutting heavy brush. It is the largest diameter that will fit on my gas powered wheeled trimmer. The only thing that can kill it so far has been dried sapling “stumps” or prolonged contact with concrete walls.

One of the most durable string trimmer line there is. Where I am for, we get a lot of tuff weeds that grow. I hit a lot of stones at the same time and of course other hidden obstacles. This line resit breaking and wrapping.

This is like my 3rd role and love this thing. Works perfect with my Shindaiwa Brush cutter.

I tried different strings, but the machine didn’t work properly until I tried this string. I certainly recommend this product. Above all, I received the product before my expected date.

For the weekend warrior tackling the garden edges to produce crisp clean lines that makes the guy nextdoor envious the Gator Speedload system is awesome. Feeding traditional line onto a line trimmer is almost as hard as starting an old trimmer.

The Speedload refills just presses into place and work. No jamming, no fuss. The little refills work out more expensive than spools of line, but if you’re not a professional gardener it’s well worth it.

Growing tomatoes, these clips work very well. Better than twine, no mess after growing is done. Reuse next year.

This is a high quality, long lasting, sharp trimmer line. It keeps our property’s rough lava-rock terrain in order. It allows a hardy grass cover to take over. It kills mimosa patches. We use none other for our Echo SRM-2620.

If you want something with excellent quality trimmer line, this is it! Other brands did not cut as smooth and as fast as these trimmer line. I cut through thick weeds and tall grass so quickly effortlessly.

Which saved me the gas and time with other brands I’ve tried. Save your money, get this and you’ll see the difference!.

Echo knows their products well and how to make them better. I own the echo 580T trimmer. what a powerhouse. The only thing that can make it better is better string. Not only is the string. 105 line, which my trimmer can easily handle, it also is constructed much better than the other string types that are available.

wow , just Wow! bought this months ago and today used it as I used up my old roll of what I thought was fine. THIS warrior twist really does gut better and to my surprise it cuts heavier stalks than the other line I used.

I run this in my Stihl fs 56rc and it does spin faster, but is a little smaller diameter than my previous line, but thankfully it breaks less and lasts longer than my previous line. So yeah I am ordering it again to be sure I get the same string that outperforms the other string I used for years.

This works longer and tougher than the other brands I’ve tried. I don’t spend time stopping to refill or changing batteries (Worx 56V) any longer. It whacks the weeds and small brush easily. Repeat brand patron.

The spiral shape of the line results in constant tangles/snags in the spool and the material is not heat tolerant; therefore, using the line creates friction and associated heat and the plastic melts together.

My best advice: pay a bit more and get a better product.

For the last 5 years I have been buying spools of trim line. I started with vortex and than decided to try others, who promised more strength. I am now back to buying vortex, since none were any stronger, The spool gives you much more line than the pre-cut stuff, and I find it a no brainer if you want value for the money.

The real issue I have with all of the lines is breakage. What I do now to reduce this from happening frequently is I take a plastic ” Lays Potato Chips Stax” container they are a dollar at Dollar Tree.

I clean it out and cut a piece of sponge about 2″ by 2″ which I soak under water and ring out very lightly so most water stays in the sponge. I put the piece of sponge at the bottom of the container and than I pre-cut about 20 to 30 pieces of trim line which should last me about 2 months.

I fold evenly all the pre-cut lines and put them in the container and close the top. The moisture from the sponge seems to give the trimmer line after being in the container for a period of time, more flexibility and reduces the breakage.

It obviously also makes storing and replacing lines easy.

So far so good. I have only used it once and it didn’t break at the head like a previous name brand product I was using. UPDATE I used the line again yesterday. So much better than the last name brand line I bought from a dealer.

That line kept breaking at the spool. This line didn’t break once. I trim weeds along a rock wall and chain link fence. Great product. I am totally impressed.

Before you commit to buying 230 feet of this line, I would try to find a smaller spool of it. This trimmer line is kind of an Overkill. It’s heavier than other. 95 lines. Which is good, and yet bad at the same time.

This line puts more stress on the engine and the clutch of your trimmer, and also has the capability to sling rocks into $400 storm doors and $1,000 Windows a lot easier. Next time I’m going with Echo, or cyclone.

This is just way too heavy, but if you’re working out in the middle of a field somewhere and damage to property doesn’t matter then this is your product.

Purchased Cyclone line to use in my Ryobi trimmer, replacing Ryobi pre-cut line segments selling for $8 for a small package. The Cyclone line is stronger and far more long lasting and durable. Cyclone line is easily cut to size and represents huge savings.

Superior quality at lower price is well worth the few seconds required to cut line segments. Fantastic product arrives in its own storage container that can hang on pegboard.

My EGO line trimmer came with 3 15′. 095 lines. After 3 major uses I was out of all 3. I ordered the Cyclone online because of its sharp edges (not a circular line). I cut to length and have already used twice.

It seems to last a lot longer than the line that came with the trimmer. Good value and works great. All pro and no con.

doesn’t break easily very strong not used to that after buying useless name brand for yrs.

Dont waste your money buying this strimmer line, it snaps virtually every time you try and cut anything, very frustrating Buy a more expensive one

The small Stihl trimmer is not my favourite as I have a 4 stroke bigger machine which is more effective. This machine is much lighter and so easy to use for a quick tidy up or by my wife also popular with the neighbours.

The line is easy to fit and doesn’t break too easily so ideal for this job.

Great product, just what i was looking for. Arrived quickly. Dry day, so straight out there . Job done very smart garden. Thank you

You WILL NOT receive anywhere near “equal to 9 spools”. What you WILL get is ONE 3 pack of standard replacement spools. I still have a partial pack of the last replacement spools I purchased from my hardware store.

You can see from my photos that these are no different than standard spools. BY NO MEANS are you getting the equivalent of 9 spools. (Spools received on left of photo. spools I already have on right).

This kit solved a problem between myself and my employer. I have the replacements to run TWO Black and Decker trimmers now! However, they didn’t hire any help to run the second trimmer. So, I don’t have to stop as often to roll replacement cord! I’m two gardeners in one!.

What I got is not what is pictured. It does not appear to be Black and Decker but seems to be a replacement and not the original brand. They were loose packed and not bundle like the picture shows. Although I have not tried to see if they work it looks like the original spool on the trimmer.

It is a decent deal for a 3 pack but if you are looking for the Black and Decker brand look somewhere else. I only gave this 3 stars because of the false picture.

This 5lb. spool of trimmer line should lasts about 3 years at doing 6 yards a week all summer long. This is a great quality string holds up better then any other string that I have purchased over the years.

The cutting strength and design is virtually great. Buying bulk trimmer line is definitely the way to save money!.

Trimmer line is a consumable product. Echo Cross-Fire is very sturdy and gets the job done! This bulk roll will save a LOT over smaller package sizes.

this is the best money can buy for a 0. 095 trimmer line its good & tuff & lasts a long time if you know how to use your trimmer properly its more economical to buy this 5 lb roll than to spend about $16.

00 for a 1 lb roll at your local big box store>>>>>>>>>> hands down ECHO products are made here in the good ol USA !!! keep America going by buying made in USA items >>> the job you save might be your own ER.

I use this line with an Echo Rapid head, which is rated for. 130 max. This triangular shape line. 155 will fit snugly into the trimmer but only in a specific orientation, so that means to me the effective diameter of the.

155 line is much less. That said, I have to admit I am running this line with a Stihl FS131, and literally this lasts through an entire yard of brush cutting. The only reason I have had to put in a new line is when I ran the trimmer line into a stucco wall, and even then I took out chunks of stone before the line broke.

The triangle line seems to cut very well, and the main thing is it will fit in the Echo head. Replacing line takes a second, and that’s only when I need to.

This is the worst trimmer line I’ve ever used. I’d rather use pruning sheers than have to reline a trimmer every 3 minutes with rino tuff trimmer string. Complete junk. Id give it negative stars bit i can’t if I want to post a review.

This is junk! Do not buy it. Very poor quality. I spent more time replacing the line then I did cutting grass

I prefer this line over others. It works just fine on the fescue and can handle the tuff warm season grasses that I mostly deal with, here in Southern California. Other lines fling rocks and sticks and where out faster.

go rino tuff line.

Super strong and durable! If you dont like changing string often this stuff is for you! Because of the 3 edges it cuts well too. I love the strength of this string

Bought this while in the store purchasing some other items and didn’t want to make a second trip on the way home. After using this 8 or 10 times, I wish I had of stopped elsewhere to get my regular brand! The quality was very poor, the line seemed brittle, as if it was very old.

The line would bind in the cutting head after only a few minutes of a new reload, and it would get stuck on itself, and you’d have to stop take it apart, throw it away, and start over with a new piece of line.

As another reviewer said, it seems like the cutting edges would bind on each other and totally gum up the works. The line would take a “set” quickly, and when you stopped the trimmer for any reason, the line would quickly retract into the holes in the trimmer head ! It also seemed like there was no quality control in making it, as every 10 ft or so the line would have flashing along the edges from the mold that it ran through to make it.

All in all I would never recommend it or use it again. Absolutely too time-consuming and frustrating!!.

Was not real sure about this trim line when I was buying it. I knew Harbor Freight would not have a problem if I didn’t like it. After a few minutes I was convinced this was a good trim line. It actually lasted better than the big brand stuff even though it is not as thick as the big brand stuff.

With the color being bright orange, it makes it very easy to see just where you’re cutting! My next visit to the Freight I will be picking up another pack of trim line!.

Another impulse buy. But another great product. I am very pleased with the durability of this line. I mean if you are trimming around chain link fences it will eat the line pretty quick but if it’s not hitting a chain link fence it’s pretty epic.

I have tried several trimmer lines in the 0. 095” diameter. Shakespeare, Husqvarna Titanium, and many others. This Milwaukee polymer lines far outlast all of them. Especially against woody plants and chain link fences where most brands are too brittle and break off easy.

Milwaukee polymer line lasts so long I am still one the first reel of line that was installed when I bought it! Two seasons of hone yard work and lasting many times longer than other premium lines. It cuts very well too.

I rarely use my M18 trimmer on full speed as this line cuts down all but the biggest weeds and grasses at half throttle. I am very satisfied and will he buying more if this first reel ever wears out!.

I didn’t thing the line that came with the Milwaukee Trimmer and Quik Lok trimmer would be any good. Wrong!!!! The original line from last year just ran out. So I bought a spool of this. This line cuts cleanly and is very durable.

Thumbs up! Only knock is the Milwaukee premium pricetag. This spool should last a few years though.

Was happy with the product, this size line is very hard to find. In the long run it would be more cost effective to purchase a new line trimmer which utilizes a more commonly attainable size line.

Finally found what I need for my trimmer that I use in the summer time. Thanks.

I have been using this string since the late 90s it feeds the best in my echo trimmer and does a great job.

This is pretty thin line more suitable for an electric trimmer. I bought it because my echo was getting jammed with my. 95. So frustrating! This worked and the echo 225 SRM no longer jams, however I have to replace the line really quickly.

I am in hard, dry terrain with tough weeds which eats up line fast. I did find a. 95 line that is completely round and smooth that works best. I don’t know why they make lines that are almost corrugated in shape.

They jam inside the speed feeders.

Seems to last longer and do a better job. I’ve been using a string trimmer for almost as long as there have been string trimmers. One is constantly looking for a long lasting string – I may have found it.

I’ve always tended toward the larger, heavier lines – I may have been mistaken. This smaller, lighter line turns at what seems like faster speeds, cutting fast and cleaner. I feel like I’m not going thru a lot of line.

I’ve used this line for just a little while but really like it. As of this writing, I would recommend this product. I think it cost a little more – but last longer and cuts cleaner.

Look, I am a carpenter/Cabinet maker by trade. I bought this trimmer on a whim for my wife. When she seen my bank statement and what I did, she went off. We already have 4 of the dang things. They are all gas powered.

After it arrived, fully assembled, and I showed her how to slide the battery on. I couldn’t stop her. It was pre wound with string, she was like, no oil, no gas, no more pulling that cord and all the other stuff – I cleaned this up for you.

Anyway, she did all the back yard and the front yard while it was getting dark she loved it so much, another plus, that night she was like, Mark, my arms and back DON’T hurt, and she retracted her statements about when I first purchased this trimmer.

Give it a chance people. Anyone can have an off day and something not work exactly like you want but this wasn’t one of those. Thanks Dewalt.

I wanted to wait till my current line ran out but decided to go ahead and switch, boy am I glad I did. Not only was the cutting a lot quieter but it went way faster and less throttle to do it as well.

Stuff is very sharp and cuts grass/weeds like butter, highly recommend. I am using a commercial model Echo trimmer. I had been using a two cutting side line from Echo, this line has four sides.
