This is George answering your comments on what is the best trimmer line that I have come across.

I've been using this for 2 years after watching this video. I ran through a giant $25 spool of Home Depot stuff. It was about half the length of this spool. I was re-spooling it every two weeks. I use my trimmer 30 times a year. I still haven't replaced the first spool of this stuff that I put on my trimmer. I typically have to extend the string one to two times per lawn cut. Worth every penny!
thanks for sharing bro
For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.
You got a brother
My favorite trimmer line is the free stuff I got from the old lady next door.
yes sir.....i purchased this and tested it today. i was cutting wild grass, weeds, etc that was 2"-12" tall. cut thru it like butter. i hardly had to bump the head for more line. it lasts and kicks butt! thanks so much
Very welcome Michael it's awesome line isn't it.
I researched plenty and took the advice of George here, and have just tried out this black line on all my normal front and back trimming..
In a word - AMAZING !!!!
The shipment was very fast and the spool arrived very well packed and undamaged..
On start up, first thing I noticed - no trimmer line noise at all... It's gone..
All you hear is the air moving, a much lower, smoother to the ears sound..
This tells me the line is moving very smoothly through the air - love this..
I only needed much less than half throttle; my echo was just purring along, and this line cut very efficiently, left sharp edges, and smoothly across all kinds of things..
And since I needed way less rpm to do the same thing, I did an entire big back yard and a little smaller front yard, lots of grass to edge, and I never even had to hit the spool on the ground to advance more line...
Thanks George ! All the decades of busting myself and machines up with lines that were so unbalanced are gone !!!
This line also cuts very gently and precisely across those "high" areas of grass that are still there after mowing, you know what I mean?
Very smooth cutting, no tearing of the grass blades, very easy to manage this also..
I don't have a shield on my echo, so I can very easily see what is happening when I flip it over to just shave off that high corner next to the sidewalk , which gets more water, and is always a little higher..
So glad to be done with all those other types of lines !!! I just don't see the need for them ever again...
Fran, thank you for sharing brother and i'm glad your happy with it.
Are you still using that specific line and are you still happy with it?
@@tattooedgirl22 Yes, I am still using this line.. I have purchased 2 smaller spools of it, and I will never need to change trimmer line again... I works great !!! I am not paid or get anything for posting this up.. Once you try it, you will see what I mean...
@@frandanco6289
I am also using this line and very happy with the results.
I bought a 3lb spool to give it a try. I'm amazed at how long it lasts and is very quiet compared to the shaped lines. Thanks for the recommendation!
My dealer recommended this line to me and it doesn't scalp when ran out long and it lasts! Good video!
I have been using the 105. on a craftsman 1 piece non-winding head for years. Outstanding stuff, nothing better. Works great in Louisiana. I have tried many others, they just don't last like this brand of line. Sears sells this same type in smaller quantities. Try it once, you may never go back to your old stuff.
I can vouch for this trimmer line, it even survives against chain link fences where others lines act like cheese on a cheese grater. Great line!
thanks for sharing brother ! were only trying to help others right ? If they don't listen then they don't, what else can we do right ?
WHAT YOU SAY?????? Im gonna have to try this
A great product!!! I bought the Copperhead Vortex Professional line and tried it for the first time today. I cut 10-12” high thick grass in it a 150’ long irrigation ditch then trimmed around my house until the machine ran out of gas.. I never once had to tap the hub to make more line come out. The same 5" long pieces of line sticking out of the hub were there when I finished. Never had that happen before.
Great to hear!
Following your recommendation I ordered a spool of 'this line and love it. I have used echo and Stihl last few years and this is far better. Biggest difference I am noticing is we are using about half the amount of line we used to use. It just seems to hold up better I think it's because it's a bit more flexible and doesn't seem to snap so easily. Thanks!
swimbait, i used to use there line also and by far this stuff seems superior.
I bought a roll. Did three sides of my five acre field cattle fence. Amazing? It never broke off flush, never melted inside the head like the orange name brand and would always bumped out when I needed it. Thank you for this video.
you are welcome brother.
yes this is the line we have been using for years great line good durability , low vibration , good cut , low noise.
thanks D !
I bought this trimmer line based on your video and you are 100% correct sir. I think that I have tried almost every type of line known to man and this stuff is as you say, terrific.
spread the word brother.
"This shit stayed flat." I don't know why but that made me laugh hard.
glad i could make you laugh my friend
Same
I went to the comments right after because I knew somebody had commented on it haha
How can I order online
I just have to say thank you. I tried this stuff tonight and it works great. I didn't use half of the gas I normally do and only a fraction of the trimmer line. One more plus I didn't even think of is I wasn't covered from head to toe in weeds when I was done . It cuts the weeds instead of tearing them and wasn't running it full throttle throwing crap all over the place.
i wouldn't lie to you my brother. thanks for sharing.
I use this, it is the best trimmer line I have ever found, it lasts longer and I have tried several brands and types.
me too brother and thanks for sharing
I watched this last week, ordered a spool of this from Amazon-$15. Let me tell you, do yourself a favor, get this. This is by FAR the best line I’ve ever used. I weed eat up against a lot of concrete. I used to use 6-7 feet of line in about 200 feet, with this line, using it this morning, I used two 1’ lengths to cut the same distance. I have no dog in this hunt, I’m just telling you this stuff is phenomenal.
I wish I got paid for endorsing this line , lol
Thanks George, Just ordered it up on amazon, they should give you a little kick back for all the sales you're generating.
i never asked them for any or i'm sure they would. lol
I've been hunting for a good trimmer line. Watched numerous videos of people saying whatever trimmer line they were pimping was the best, and I'm just like no, I've used them and they're garbage. Just like you said, from Echo to Stilh and everything in between. Couldn't find one that I liked. Then I saw your video and I said to myself, what the hell ,might as well try this one too. I was skeptical up until I made my first pass, at the end of the day I was like man this is the shit I've been looking for. Great trimmer line and great video. Thank you boss for not misleading me on this. Much appreciated.
I will have to give that line a try. I have used a ton of different lines still haven't found one that really makes me happy. I just looked at this one on Amazon and found it for 38 bucks for a 5 lb. spool so It can't hurt to give a try next season.
just do it, you won't be sorry i promise. i wouldn't just tell you that man.
G Packard, nice video. I've been using Stens Silver Streak String Trimmer Line, The Fire .105 in my Echo, and it last a really long time. It's so much better then the echo .95 Crossfire, especially when edging around concrete. I noticed your Rotary is .95 As good as you made it sound, I'm so happy with what I have, even your persuasive video couldn't pry The Fire from my hands.
how did it work out?
It's been a year did you buy it this season?? I'm curious what you think if you had bought and used it
6*The Lawn Care Network ;
This line is AMAZING!! Like you I've lost count of how many different trimmer lines I've tried over the years. Everything you said from cut quality to durability is spot on!! Thank you for this tip/recommendation.
your very welcome my friend
ALWAYS run a 2 stroke engine at full throttle, to get cooling and use a 16 to 1 fuel oil mix, your trimmer will last for years, and yes Rotary is good products, this is from having a shop for 46 years
Why 16 to 1?
16 to 1 is bullshit way to lean on a 2 stroke
@@seanobrien3352 Exactly.. If giants of the industry Stihl and Husqvarna say you need a 2% of oil/fuel mix (that's 50:1 ratio) then you use 50:1. I kind of trust their engineers who actually built the equipment and have a combined experience of thousands of years over a guy "who has a shop for 46 years".. I mean, please....Let's be real here.
Well I’ve had shop for 106 years, my father had his for 178 years and my grandfather had his shop for 666 years. I use 50:1 🤪
@@seanobrien3352 this is richer not leaner.
Update lol I bought some and this guy is telling the truth, we used to run the husqvarna titanium force which is good but this rotary vortex .095 just lasts way longer lol
We use it commercially
right on brother
I've been using the .105" variant of this line for many years. The .130 is a beast for thick brush. I carry this line size as well as other sizes in different package lengths at my shop too. It's the best thing since sliced bread as far as I'm concerned.
thank you for caring enough to share your story with all of us.
Havent tried this brand but 105 is the sweet spot for trimmer line...kicks ass in my shindawia t230x
You can buy this stuff in a 130?
We've been using this string because George said it was great! And it is! Awesome stuff! Thanks George!
your very welcome Matt. Glad you like it.
I took your advice and purchase some. You are right, this stuff does not self destruct like the cheap stuff. Thanks a lot.
Michael, you are welcome brother
Honestly this is the best line I ever used, I use my weed eater almost every day and the line in the spool last about 2 months even when I use it for edgings. It worth the price I strongly recommend.
oliver, thanks for telling the truth brother !
Hey G, believe it or not, I am about to refill my spool this week. I am still using the same spool refill from 6 months ago.
Well, if it's good enough for Pacino, it's good enough for me!
right on brother ! let me introduce you to my little friend !
G Packard I use that trimmer line good stuff
Just bought a 520' roll for my fs240. Thanks for the review.
@@GPackard Vortex Trimmer Line vs
Husqvarna Titanium Force vs
Maxpower Rotary Trimmer Line? Which one is the best?
You are absolutely correct. I have owned a law business for 12 years. Do not let anyone tell you anything different. Vortex is best trimmer line in the world.
thanks Rob
At 1:38 " This SHIT stayed flat " Love it!!!! You don't need to say anything else. I'm buying it tomorrow. THANKS.
atta boy Paul
+ G Packard : Peace brother, the SHIT REALLY WORKS !!!!
paul, i know right !
Paul Monaco ，
I been cutting grass for 30 years now and this shit is the best line by far!
thx George..kick ass!!
i'm glad i could help you.
Best I ever used was a .95 bass string.
Of course it will take your foot off if you aren't careful.
I tried bass string and it snapped almost instantly. DR too. Never broke a DR. Not enough flex
I think you meant an .095 string, LOL. A .95 would be an inch thick.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Actually, I use a 1" threaded rod., lol. Nice catch, thanks.
I believe it's off the market now but about 20 years ago there was spider wire. It had a wire center and would last forever. This stuff would cut concrete, saw wooden fences even go through cypress suckers and bamboo. But beware when the last 2 inches shot out of the head, it would go through jeans and bury itself an inch into your leg. Boy those were the good old days. I've been at it since 1985 and do enjoy your postings and have a lot in common with you. Can't deal with these rookie kids that think filming a mower go back and forth for 15 minutes has any value to human existence. Your one of the few actually trying to educate and assist the new lawndogs out there trying make a living at this. Kudos to you. Don't know where you spent Christmas but 84 degrees in Tampa, don't think I'll need the snow shovel again this year .
LOL ! THE GOOD OL DAYS . LOL
well i know exactly what you mean by the mowing backwards thing. the real funny thing is to check out those guys subscribers ? they have a lot more than me. I'm glad to hear you say that i'm one of the good guys out there my friend. when i stop being productive, will you tell me to go lay by my dish and just Howl ?
Beerman Lawn I tried using copper wire single strand in my echo wacker . No good, the wire would snap into . Maybe from your comment i should try harden steel wire but A fine tooth pannel circular saw blsde works best for me , the type with the triangle punch out center. I seldon do grass mostly horse fenceline briars and saplings.
I've been looking for a good weed eater line, because I know there's one out there. Looks like I found it. Thanks again George!
louis, you will love it i promise
That stuff IS good, like he says, I've used it for years. But I just bought a 58V AEG rechargeable electric line trimmer and when I tried a new line in it, my current favourite one, the performance just went through the roof. It was like the machine was suddenly supercharged. It blasts through metre high setaria and now I can clean up my 350 metre driveway with it - somewhere I haven't been able to get to before now because the banks are way to steep to get my Toro Z-Master on.
The line I now use is a 3mm nylon (I guess) green one with a triangular profile. The shape makes it slice like a blade and the difference is astounding. The trimmer has a bump feed so I just load it up and go for it, no interruptions.
I've just recharged the battery so I'm going out again to get back into it.
Hope this is helpful.
BTW those AEG rechargeables are AWESOME - do yourself a favour and try one.
thanks for sharing Tony
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video I am ordering some now off amazon
We’ve used it for three years now and I won’t buy anything else. I use .130 line in a Stihl 131 Kombi and a Stihl 130. Great line, thank you by the way for the videos. Great source of information.
Jack Bush, Bushwhackers Lawn Care
Jack, thanks for commenting
Thanks for the tip, George. I ordered small spool to check it out. Take care.
You ain't lying, brah.. I bought this stuff since I saw this video a year ago.. for me it last 4 to 6 times longer than the other crap.. GREAT STUFF!!!!
also you can save on your equip. and fuel because of only having to use half throttle most of the time.
This shit stayed flat! Love it! I'm sold!
Thank you for the professional recommendation. I bought this line using your affiliate link. I look forward to putting it through its paces. Your insight and perspectives are extremely appreciated.
But he doesn't get paid, remember 🙄
i will give it a whirl. I use husqvarna titanium force. If it works better than that it will be my new favorite product. But let me tell you, that husky line is the bees knees. Give it a shot.
i'll check it out thanks
@Loracool ; It's been a year now, so what do you think ? Husqvarna titanium force or this Rotary line
G packard today i was using the line from my boss ,to mown very thick weeds.
the line was breaking every five minuts.
got tired of it and put this vortex line i payed myself, IT SAVED MY ASS.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH
your very welcome
G Packard for lawn is very good.
But i clean woods, mostly. even using the .130 it wears out fairlly fast.
comes out whit one touch in the ground, leaves a perfect cut ,never binds(even at full trothle all the time)and yes cuts good half trothle.
A small bobine costed 20 euros and was gone in 36 hours.
I love it , but if it would last longer it would be excelent.
any tips are wellcome.
Dang this is some great line! I really like it. Thanks for the info G P
your very welcome
Saber cut 3.0 Kross kut bought in Australia, made in the U.S. Brilliant stuff. Best I've found so far. Enjoy
square line last longer cutting in beds... any the twisted seems to cause more problems in the speed feed heads... but im sure your right about the cut quality of the line... but for anyone cutting in tons of beds all day... try any type of square string
thanks for sharing. for cutting beds i could see square line working good.
We use actual edgers for that job .which is why this line works so good for us simply trimming grass.
Enjoying The Sun 577-Jersey Customs well spoken!
Lawn Crafters what about square twisted line like lonoiz line
giggleherz I agree. The gator line is the best that I've tried/used
FYI -It's the same reason that golf balls have dimples. Improved air flow and less turbulence. It works great in a bump feed but not as well in an auto feed head.
That sounds like some tough "shit" haha I'ma buy some
The reason it stays flat is the twist type line. I drove trucks hauling flat bed trailers and found that if you twisted the tarp straps they would cut though the air at highway speeds much better than a strap that was tied down without twisting it. The twisted straps would not make near as much noise or flex up and down as an untwisted strap would. I believe this works on the same principle.
I believe you Kenneth, and thanks for sharing.
You have my complete attention, because I NEVER run a motor faster/harder than it takes to do the job. Therefore, my equipment lasts FAR longer than the "git erdunn" communities.
try race gas you notice a big difference.
1
your one of the chosen few
Gary Chandler 2 cycle motors need to be REV'd. Its actually good for the engine. Unless you have a different type I dont know about.
2 cycle engines need to run wide open.
I agree ...i've used this line as soon as it came out....lasts waaay longer then the round line or any other for that matter. Definitely worth the money but you will get your money's worth with this line.
Vortex is THE best line ever made ....bar none. Thanks for posting this video so people can see what they've been missing out on!! 💯✔
thanks for commenting brother
for tall and thick grass oregon gatorline is the best no comparison
Its true. I used this at my property service job and trimmed over 31 miles a day and barerly ever had to re string! Maybe every couple weeks or more depending on what type of terrain i was facing.
spread the word brother
I need this line in my echo srm-225....which i might ad is completely rebuilt by me! Hahaha
try it, I'll Guarantee you'll love it , the links below.
I bought the 1lbs spool of this stuff last March and I still have string left.
Sold. Just bought a $50 spool. I'm tired of bumping the head every 10 seconds cut good, and then having to restring every 5 minutes. When I weed eat, I burn it to the ground. It takes 3 weeks for it grow back. Having crappy string (I use Husqvarna crap). I bump the head, and 10 seconds after I have to bump it again. Hopefully this helps. Thanks.
This stuff really is incredible!, i can't be more impressed!😀
cool beans brother
I use that exact same line. I found it in a mower repair shop in South Central Kansas. I too have used many different types of wine over the years and have found this to be by far the best.
Echo released new Black Diamond line claiming it's razor sharp. It kind of looks like this Vortex line. Maybe it is.
check it and see . let me know what you find OK ?
I love that new Echo Black Diamond line. Cuts more easy and level than the last crap I used... Has saved me a lot of time in this first week. Looks like the stuff in the video but may have sharper edges.
Hey George thanks for letting us know about this trimmer line this stuff is awesome I just bought it a week ago and it cuts nice and it's strong as hell even specially here in Miami where we have St Augustine grass I have used it all week long and haven't had to fill our spools what's great about we don't have to tap our spools as much to advance line our spools will last longer now thanks George.
your very welcome Victor.
Your the man
thanks for noticing . lol
I have a very large yard. I watched your video and everything you have said is completely true. Unlike other brand lines that wobble up and down this line spins in an absolutely flat rotational disk making walk edging a real joy. Also, because of that, routine trimming goes better because you can maintain a level cut. Finally, because I have a Echo trimmer, I have been using Echo line, which is much better than generic, but Vortex is SO much better and goes SO much further. I get more that double the life out of this line per job. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you SO much for this video!
your welcome and thanks for sharing.
William Thomson a
I got that trimmer line that geek to freak recommended that you can get at lowes or Home Depot
what type is that ?
+G Packard Ugly Line!
Bob Brawley ugly line is the way to go
He's right. Switched awhile back and now I won't use anything else. Other line was coming out deformed if it doesn't just break off. This stuff wears straight as an arrow no deformity at all. Mainly it's just effective and I've been weed wacking for over thirty years
thanks for backing me up . I hope others will try it as well.
I will give that black licorice looking shit a try out here in Az. I run W.F.O. here in the heat i dont break for nothing not even rattlesnakes.
john Cast I cut up a big Cottonmouth with my Stihl 110R! I thought I hit a stick in tall Johnson grass! Needless to say, he didn't make it!
13BRAVO REDLEG ?
That line is made in AZ. I work for the parent company.
Echo black diamond is my favorite so far the twist adds more rpm so less air drag more efficient and it slices the grass instead of slapping the grass.
they have the twist as well.
Best trimmer line on the planet; roundup! No trimmer or line needed.
lol
Lee Clements. Crossbow. Kills blackberry vines, kills hedge bushes, kills anything you spray it on its expensive. $159.00 for 2 gallon. Trust me its well worth it if you want it killed
Lee Clements ... Roundup causes cancer look it up... 1 of the biggest hush hush law suits in history. I wouldn't touch that shit.
Yeah, i think *Roundup will be banned in the near future...
Crossbow works much better. I've used both.
The line arrived today and I had to try it. Mister Man this line is tough. I'm using the .155 on my Echo Bearcat walk behind wacker. I tried it on a 200 sq ft section of raspberry canes. It would literally stall the engine. There appears to be no sign of breaking either. This is one really tough line.
Thanks for your initial review because I thought my weed wacker was a waste of money.
doug your welcome
I loaned my trimmer to a friend and he bought me a big ass spool of some red trimmer line that is the bomb! Wears like iron. I did a side-by-side with some Stihl and the mystery red stuff wins, hands down. The label has faded and blown away though. Wish I knew what it is. Oh well. I'm gonna try some of this "Vortex" stuff out when I run out of mystery red. And Stihl. Should be about seventeen years from now.
Mercy! I bought some of this stuff from ebay and gave it a try........ It the Bomb! It did everything you said and more. Only problems I had was the head kept mucking up but thats not the strings fault. It cut smooth and very little vibraton, almost like it wasnt there and the grass just fell down. LOL Great stuff!
glad you like it John
It really is the best line I have ever used and I have been doing this for 40 years now. But some of these guy's are a bit over enthusiastic about trimmer line. It won't last forever and if you do it day in and day out like I do you will still use a lot of it but it is better then all the others.
And children, you know the other lines that look like they have a piece of wire in the center, it's not wire, it is just some nylon that looks like wire to get you to buy it thinking it is a piece of wire.
thank you for being honest and sharing brother Siclmn
I just bought a large spool based on your review. Thanks brotha.
I drilled and rapped my trimmer spool with 3/16 aircraft cable about 2 years ago and its still like the day i put it on. I did weld the ends as to not fray. The stuff you have does work nice though. My cable will eat a fence post if i get to close lol, so the plastic is a little more forgiving.
I just had a half frustrating day with my trimmer once again. Still not happy.
I'm ready to buy some of this stuff tonight. Can't wait now for my next big
trimmer day. Florida homeowner. Record rains and jungle like grass growth.
Thank you.
your welcome. you'll love it i promise
It's on it's way. I can't wait to get some into my trimmer !!
It just had it's first day on my Echo SRM-280T. I can't believe the
difference it makes! Did my whole job at barely above idle plus it
it took less than half the bump feeds of all my other strings!
and in half the usual job time too! Thank You Again !!
It's the .095 that I loaded in the speed load head, about 15' of it.
Feeds quick and clean the twice I did a bump feed. Until you
convince me there is something better this is my new go to line.
you'll thank me.
This the first video on TH-cam where I can honestly say he's not lying I use that in a 4-stroke 46cc weed wacker and hardly ever replaced it.
the only video ? you need to watch my videos brother !
I just calculated how much Stihl .095 green line I went through yesterday, after 1 1/2 hours of cemetery headstone trim work. My Echo head holds a good 30 ft. I measured what was left this morning and there was about 16 ft. so, I just left about 14 ft. of plastic out there to hang out there forever. Thanks for the heads up on this line. Joe in PA
the links below brother, you'll never buy another.
I was very surprised at that line`s ability to cut stuff. You are correct, that you can go around half the throttle you are used to. This line actually makes your trimmer more powerful. It makes mincemeat out of tall weeds, too.
That was my first choice, and the worst! I too, have been doing this for many years, I live in Sandy soil. I only have to cut 4 pieces, one to start and 3x back up! When I'm done, I usually have two still in pocket! The best trim line is 100% round or as close to it as you can! The spiral shit comes apart asap! Tried many brands, same results. Usually use Shakespeare .095 or husqvarna .095 line! Never a problem and lasts longer than I want to trim! I do a lot of residential property that has sand soil, concrete and bricks to trim around.
My dad got me a spool of this line for the season. And man does it do great. It cuts very even wobbles very little my edges look perfect
thanks for sharing brother
Got myself a new trimmer - don't know what brand the string was that came with it, but it was reddish-orange .095 string that was two pieces in one, like this.
I was used to a low powered trimmer that was 20 years old - it ran cheap .080 line - so imagine my surprise when I tested this out on a dense overgrown grass/brush/weed tangle about 3 feet high. I attacked it at 3/4 throttle.
The mess exploded in my face - leaves, stems and grass fragments all over me. it was belching out clippings like a lawnmower.
Easily the best stuff in the world.
you are welcome friend
Thank you! I’m ordering it now. I just trimmed today and my line just pushed the grass over- wouldn’t cut unless the throttle was wide open.
i'm sure you'll love it.
u are right...at the repair shop i work at...we sell it...customers tell me that they can do their whole lawn on one load...refering to the style head u push a piece in...some gave 2 some have 3 strings
thanks for sharing bro.
Ive worked on small engines for more than 25 years and mowed yards for years. The best trimmer line ive ever seen or used is Oregon. Clear,square with a monafilament wire in the center. I can fill the spool on my weed eater and do 7 or 8 yards and cut thick weeds
thanks for sharing but i think the wire might be a bit much for most applications like vinyl siding for example.
I've used all kinds of line on my Craftsman push weed eater..similar to the DR Trimmer..has 2 wheels on the back and a roller ball on the front. Uses (2) .155 in (3.9 mm) strings 18 inches long. When installed on the rotary ball there are metal tabs which turns 1 18" string into 2 9" strings X 2 giving me 18" of cutting width. The best string I've come across is called Weed Warrior Pulverizer Platinum...also made in the ol' USA. It is shaped like a triangle. Those sharp edges make quick work cutting thru ragweed up to 2" thick stalks and other thick grass. Unfortunately it's not prejudice about what it cuts...hidden weed covered water hoses, etc. Great string.
thanks for sharing but i think most people here are cutting grass. lol
LOL..true that.
ive been using this line for years. funny I just came across your video. I'm in Utah and this line is cheaper than most others. The major thing I like about it is besides being strong, I find its quieter than most other lines..
Thank you for letting me know about this line. By far the best I have used. It lasts and cuts the best.
Bay, your welcome my friend
I love that twisted line and I agree it lasts way longer than the other crap out there. if my wife uses any trimmer she beats the hell out of the line. This stuff holds up longer ~!~!
This stuff is amazing. No Joke. Thanks George, This stuff is more efficient and doesn't die. Last line you'll ever buy
right on brother, right on !
Thank you George for the advice. No more flea market junk for me and I don't do trimming for a living. Greg
i second your professional opinion. i love this cord. came across it a couple years ago and it's my go to for the jungles I'm fighting in Texas. it does last quite a bit longer than the other crap out there. really great for edging yards that aren't maintained on a regular basis
I think you will find that the stability of the line rotating in a flat disc is down to the helical form of the cord. Very similar to the helical fins in tall thin chimneys fitted to prevent lateral oscillations in high winds. In the case of the strimmer the helical form stabilises to path of the cord as it goes round.

Not sure if its the same company, but it looks the same. I just bought a new roll of Black Diamond.
This line seems to break just as easy as the stock Echo line, but this stuff cuts like a hot knife through butter.
With the stock orange line, my Echo 225 would bog down in thick grass. With this line, it cuts right through. It slings grass everywhere as it gobbles it up.
WAY bitchin' line!
Thanks for the video!
kracker your welcome brother
Thanks for your recommendation and also thanks to all the people on here who have tried it and commented. I'm upping my home lawn care game and rehabbing my lawns this year. I will give this a try!
you'll love it, i know we do
G Packard It arrives late next week, looking forward to trying it!
atta boy, you will love it i promise
G Packard I ordered both the .080 and .095. My trimmer takes .065, so I wanted a back up in case the .095 did not work.
I tried the .080 first. It did fine, though it did break up a bit, I was edging around cement and kept hitting it. However, I have to say that is the cleanest line that I have ever seen with my edger! And, it did not break up as much as the stuff you get at the big box stores. I’ll try the .095 next and see how that works out, and practice more edging around cement. It’s a new edger, I’m still getting used to it. I agree that it is one sharp, clean cut!
I'm not a professional, just a guy with a few acres and that like his tools to work well.
Bought a new trimmer this spring - I'm using Husqvarna titanium line on a Husky 128 trimmer and it seems to hold up quite well. I'm not easy on it and I border swamp on one side and railroad on the other (ballast stone destroys everything, from mower blades to trimmer line, chainsaw chains, brush blades....) Not to mention the briars and sumac everywhere, I swear sumac grows 6" a day...
I've tries a lot of gimmick line and it's all junk. The next best I've ever used was a roll I found at a garage sale - a couple thousand feet loose in a box, it was natural (translucent white) and fairly heavy simple straight line. I think it said Black and Decker on the box somewhere (which really surprises me?)
The Husky Titanium LOOKS a lot like the Rotary. Not sure if that shape is responsible for the level swing, but I rarely have to go over 1/2 to get a decent cut on grass. Seems quieter than other line too, less 'whistle'.
A spool is about 4 meters I think and I'd guess I get about 3 tanks of gas (about 14oz per tank) per spool depending on what I'm cutting and how hard I'm running. Sumac, blackberry and thistle sure cut the line life and up the fuel consumption (Premium Gas & Redline racing oil here).
I'm ordering in some Rotary, if I can get it in less than the commercial spool, that would last me well past my years...

Thanks for the tip George.
I'll be watchin.
Scott
scott thanks and i'm sure you'll love the line. i know we do.
Thanks for addressing the 'flatness' issue. This is exactly the review I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
As possible, I first use a 12" Husqy 3-knife blade. Takes very little throttle opening even on an antique 21 cc Echo straight-shaft. Then for near masonry & stuff I put on fixed-line head with a couple chunks of line I'm trying to use up. That's going slowly- not a problem to me. As an alternative, 11" 4-knife Husqy blade works great. Either way, woody stems are in jeopardy. Blades also don't cover me with debris, a BIG PLUS.
I went from round line, to different types of square and star shaped lines. My favorite I found (mostly from the brand) was ugly line, same people that making fishing stuff. It’s square or star shaped, can’t remember. It lasted pretty long and seemed to cut well. Then I bought some of that twisted “quiet” line. Which I thought was bs but I wanted to try it. I always thought the engine was louder than the string so who cares if it’s quiet or not... anyway, I didn’t notice a huge difference, yeah the noise from the head was quieter but the engine was loud as always, I went through about 12ft of this stuff not liking it that much. Then when I switched back to the ugly line mid way through a job , I noticed a huge difference. Both are .95, the ugly line spun soooo much slower. It had so much wind resistance that my trimmer had a hard time getting to full speed. The quiet line was way better, your string can be longer, spins way faster without as much effort, and cuts nicer. It’s also quiet if you care about that. I bought it thinking it’s a stupid gimmick, but it really changed my mind.
thanks for sharing.
I've used this for years. It's the best!!!
thanks for sharing bro
What's the price ?
My friend let me try this and you're right, it does last longer but I felt it didn't cut as good as my other string. I also noticed that my trimmer didn't run as smooth with it, it would vibrate. I wish they made this kind in a lighter gauge. I will say, I do have to change my other string out more often but the cut I get makes it worth it.
good for you and thanks for sharing.
G Packard Ive tried to run my weed eater less thanfull throttle but its not practicle battling the weight . Are you aware of any trimmer that has a fixed setting for reduced throttle?
Husquvarna pro series is demonstrably the best in independent testing. The sharp edges of stuff like this may seem better but the rounded string line with a wire interior is best.
Thanks for the free advice, George! Here in Ireland the grass is soft but some of it is really hard and the trimmer head gets tangled up. I will give it a try
Glad to help
@@GPackard I found Vortex line here in Galway, Ireland at JWTools
