Best Weed Eater String: Ultimate Test 2024

[@Kurtdog63]

Have used weedeaters in lawn mowing business since 2006. Started mowing neighbor's yards in the 6th grade back in the 1970's. Also used weedeaters working a summer at a state park spending many hours on single handle and double handled weedeaters back in the 90's. Watched weedeater line go from round small diameter .065, then .080, ,095, and .105. Then different shaped lines showed up like the triangle, the star, the octagon, and the twisted shape. There are pluses and minuses to each line DIAMETER There are pluses and minuses to each line SHAPE. For example, just because a line is bigger in diameter and possibly tougher, doesn't make it better at cutting. Larger line may be tougher, but there is a point of diminishing return. Larger diameter line tends to beat the grass down, and it also slings a lot of debris like rocks and sticks back at you or into a glass window, vinyl siding, etc.. Here is my experience. 1.If you use ROUND, go with a small diameter. I used .080 and .095 for most of my work early on, but ran short on string one time and had to use ROUND .065 and was amazed at how easily it sliced thru grass. The TRIANGLE does work well, it even makes a LOUDER shredding type sound, different than other shapes, but it has its drawbacks. Because of its shape, it can get wadded, or bound up inside the weedeater head. OCTAGON and TWISTED seem to work ok, but the main line shape I settled on was the STAR shaped. If you look at it from the end, it looks like a PLUS SIGN like you described. I like the smaller diameter .080 or .095 because it slices grass more efficiently. You can also get a few more feet of it inside your weedeater head. Using larger diameter line, especially in the .105 creates a lot of push back into the weedeater head, and gets noticeably tiresome to use if you have a lot of weedeating to do. A couple of HACKS I use. 1. I remove the weedguard trimmer blade. It wastes a huge amount of weedeater line. 2. If you soak your weedeater line in water, it makes it tougher. Weedeater line has moisture content new, but tends to dry out over time and become more brittle. Thanks for sharing the review.

I dislike all weed eater string. I’ve got piles of different string brands and types. String lines seem to get hot and stuck together and do not feed. It is very frustrating. Some point within 20+ years they went to a different material and when it gets hot inside the head it just sticks to itself. I’m looking for ways to not use string anymore as well as add whelks to my trimmer. I’m older with back issues and absolutely do not like the headaches of trimming these days.

Hey Spencer! Thanks - we found the ultimate combination of .095" thickness and as few angles as possible was the best. That's why we created our own (link is below the video).

[@spencerladd2496]

Ya was just deliberating on that last nite being on a budget, and going with non name brands on ebay, or brands unfamiliar with. I went with 105 over .095 just be on the safe side... It's not like I shop for this stuff all the time and it might be years before I do it again.... Good video though, I commented before watching the whole thing... Lol... I'd just thought the color part was nonsense and almost turned it off...😂🤣😂

I’m glad you compared them, you did a good job. My application is 15 acres of California foothills with Rocks, oaks, and barbed wire fence. I’m using it in a Stihl fs131 (bike handle) and KM 90r. I have ALWAYS used the Stihl orange line (.95) I just purchased the .105 Stihl CF3 and that Black Diamond.105. Your test surprised me. Thanks.

[@TheLawnReview]

Thank you! Truthfully, I was really surprised too. I thought the more points a line had (i.e. Black Diamond) would cause it to cut more efficiently but I think there’s a point of diminishing returns. Also the fact that they made that line color black is beyond me. I cannot understand the logic there haha. Completely disappears at high speeds.

[@disgruntledconservativevet1798]

@@TheLawnReview I watch a lot of reviews. And to be honest, they all do not turn out with the same result. In my application I don’t need to see the line, I’m cutting weeds and wild oats that are 3 and 4 ft high. Not straight lines, no yard work, just brute force work knocking down high weeds on the side of a mountain where my tractor can’t get to. I really appreciate your hard work. And your response is just icing on the cake. If you ever get in a field and do industrial, agriculture, or ranch work be sure to post. People like you are vital for people like me because you take the guess work out of what I should use. Thanks again, and keep posting, I’ll be looking forward for your videos.

[@TheLawnReview]

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. Yeah there’s definitely different applications for the same thing so it makes it difficult to provide a totally comprehensive review.

[@TheLawnReview]

[@antibrevity]

@@TheLawnReview He was being sarcastic ;). You didn't specifically identify the products so we didn't learn which ones were better, just which shapes performed well and which colors were visible. The shape is important, but some lines with the same shapes are more durable than others. We don't want a commercial telling us to buy X or Y, but we do need to know which products are being compared against one another. The product photos in the table are so small that it's hard to tell which products they are and they are not easy to identify when lying on the table near the beginning. It's possible, but not easy. You obviously chose this approach for a reason, but viewers want actionable information; they want to know which product to buy, for better or worse .

[@davidminor1254]

Yesterday I purchased the 6.5 amp craftsman string trimmer and like the Black and Decker battery operated one that I have they both take .065 line. Aside from some minor changes both are made the same way. It did a good job but the cord of course slowed down my progress.

[@TheLawnReview]

Those small lines really suck

[@thangknowa3288]

For years, I kept my weedeater string in a very hot storage building behind my house. Often, my string would break off inside the head, I would have to stop and fix it. I went to larger, different string, but over time, same thing. I finally wised up, I now keep the string in a cool corner of my garage, no more string breakage. Ever. Keep it out of the heat and out of the sun, people!

[@TheLawnReview]

That’s awesome!! You can also soak it in water for a couple days and it will do even better

[@redfield312]

just a tip if you live in australia . I bought trimer line from aldi from the centre isle and after 50 years of using line in wipper snippers this was the best and longest lasting line i have ever used and super cheap. If you ever see it buy it

[@curtdunlap6818]

Thanks for the review. A clearer display or including that chart of the products tested that you showed in the video with names posted in your host comments would have been good as eluded to by other commenters, but I digress. What makes your product better than the Rino Tuff .095 Triangle? I was prepared to get a small pack of the Rino Tuff before reading other comments here. I have finally finished off a 1000' roll of an .080" square which didn't hold up for nothin'! I like the green because as one commenter related, I didn't want to see a bunch of orange bits laying around, and the green sort-of blends in to the grass. If this is every bit as good as the Rino Tuff, I'm all in!

[@TheLawnReview]

Thanks for checking it out. Ours has three sharp edges whereas the rino tuff has softer bevels that bow inward. We created ours to be that specific shape because it adds more cutting torque, almost like little blades. We found the fewer corners the better for reducing breakability. But if you go all the way smooth like a purely round string (or even the Rino-tuff), you lose all the cutting power. The triangle was the perfect combination of both.

Think it's a case of trial and error. I use a Husqvarna 535LK pro combi, I bought extra trimmer heads so I have different trimmer line for different jobs instantly! 2mm is great for grass, but 2.4mm+ is better for the bigger stuff. For edging, I just use the weed scissor attachment. The best trimmer line I've used, was Husqvarna X-FORCE, unfortunately it's no longer available in the UK apparently!😢

Dang sorry to hear that!

[@Doviruses.existbaileyonodysee]

i have always been an elcheapo. but on the little honda the line that came pre installed did the whole little paddok and never even needed new line (that i could notice). the old trimmer, when being agressive on the the edging it would sometimes yank right out, or get jammed after i try to put as much on possible, or keep snapping (was an old ryobi speed feed head). i will match the new line in store if i can, but try to use the rest of the cheap line and see if the honda head holds it a bit better or it is simply poor stuff 😬

Round line is a 0.95" cylinder and edged line is not really 0.95" cylindrical - only the edges are 0.95. Secondly you do not know how old the line is when you buy it so put in a bucket of water overnight to rehydrate the line. Twist line or sided line will hang up in your trimmer head because there is lots of friction between the line in the head.

Yep - all great tips! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed!

[@zack6892]

Really good review on these only thing that would have made it better is testing smoothness of cut. Lot of them tend to kinda kick back a little in dense grass and i hate it. Probably my number 1 think in picking line cause it stucks when you've got stuff that wants to dip down when you hit a thick patch and scalps grass or just cuts low. I use echo black diamond and crossfire right now the black in .95 and .105 and cross in .80. They are good string but i would like to find something in the middle that's durable and smooth. Hard to get that seems like though thinking about trying a thicker string on a pro torque trimmer to see if the lower gear ratio and less flexible string gives a smoother more consistent cut.

[@TheLawnReview]

Thanks for watching! Yeah smoothness is a great point. I actually created my own weed eater string after this testing based on the results. It has been a beast so far - especially on electric weed eaters. Super super durable.

[@zack6892]

@The Lawn Review nice. I have thought about today it's hard to find perfect string it seems like. Running echo pro torque trimmer kinda makes it easier to run what is available and get good results though I run mine with .105 black diamond and it does really well. I am thinking about switching to the echomatic pro trimmer head or maybe the speed feed 450 or 500 and going with some .130 though I think the rigidity of the thicker line may eliminate the issue with it wanting to dive down occasionally. Gonna give it a try and see I been wanting the higher capacity on the speed feed 500.

[@piezoman79]

Little difficult to tell in this video but the tests definitely weren’t very scientific. A lot of variables at play with no way to validate repeatable results. The “cutting” test for instance depends a lot on line length and head speed, and thus tip speed. It’s difficult for me to accept your claims that the lines were just ‘eaten away’ when you really start leaning in to the tube and the line is clearly flapping around. This is also evidenced by the variation in speed we can hear. You’re never going to get an efficient cut like that when you’re constantly bogging the line down. Clearly some lines will cut better than others but if you’re going to do a comparison video you’ve got to take the tester out of the equation to make it valid.

[@TheLawnReview]

The goal of this test isn’t to be super scientific otherwise we would have tried to find identical weed eaters from each brand. These are the best sellers and compares their performance.

@@TheLawnReview the title of the video is “best weed eater string: ultimate test 2024 which itself doesn’t even make sense since you originally posted in at the end of 2022, so that appears a little deceitful to start. I made no mention of what brand trimmer you’re using, nor should that really matter as I only mentioned string length and tip speed, to at least give each string a somewhat even starting point, and knowing how string actually cuts (hint: there’s a reason cutting performance drops off significantly as your line - any line - whittles away, and it has nothing to do with the string’s durability). I have zero skin in this game other than someone expecting some honesty and consistency in a “test” video where I only see you pushing your own product in the comments but no links to a head-to-head with it vs other top performers. So, sorry, whatever your intent may have been with this video, it doesn’t inspire confidence in any of the results to me.

Thanks for taking the time to type all of this out! We created the string as a result of this video.

@@piezoman79 They just want anyone to click on (clickbait) their video, they get compensated somehow. Who cares if it's really not what you and I are looking for.

Also, when they keep defending their video and say "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" shite and buy my crap, then you know it's misleading and false.

you should NEVER remove the guard. It will cause your trimmer to have major issues beyond the safety. it WILL destroy your gear head.

[@TheLawnReview]

Why is that?

[@sardius1970]

@@TheLawnReview The guard cuts the line at a specific length to keep the head balanced, once you take the guard off, the length of line causes the head to be unbalanced and wears the gears out quicker.

[@japastyle2475]

@@sardius1970 I know that is what manufacturer says and i believe that this is true but i have also known hundreds of lawncare guys that remove the guard on their trimmers and keep their machines for years to come. just saying its most likely true but hard to prove in real world practice

Long line … more gear grease more frequently… if you do that it’ll be no problems

Visibility is not even a factor when weedeating-what are you talking about?? If you’re weedeating based on ‘seeing the line’- you’re doing it wrong

[@TheLawnReview]

I disagree

Skewed test. All lines should ve been soaked over night in water

[@TheLawnReview]

But they were not all soaked so don’t that make it even?

[@projectseventyone]

Leave the guard on. It regulates the amount of string that comes out and doesnt destroy the clutch. Taking the guard off gives zero advantage. Just an ego thing. I've been a professional Commercial lawn care tech for 20+ years. The guard also saves your legs from excessive hits from rocks etc....

[@TheLawnReview]

I'll consider it!

Round line is the only true diameter rating you get . So round line should be tje toughest depending on the material it's made of usually nylon
