2.65mm square trimmer line. 172 metres of it. I have purchased this before, cheap, durable and lots of it. Win, win….win.

Please fix title:
172 metres Oregon Gatorline Heavy-Duty Trimmer Line $61.30 Delivered @ Amazon AU
Will this fit a Ryobi One line trimmer?
No, it takes 2mm. Any bigger and the speed is too low and it doesnt cut very well
FWIW I bought the Oregon 2.4 mm / .095 inch line for my Stihl trimmer and found it very underwhelming.
Paying extra for the Stihl branded stuff is worth it for me.
edit- just looked up what I bought and it was the Oregon 20-020 Magnum Gatorline Supertwist Trimmer Line
Tried this in the EGO carbon fibfre Whipper Snipper, basically ended up uo throwing it. Not powerful enought to spin such a heavy line.
Definitely not for everyone. We live in the bush and have a Honda UMK425 which has enough power to spin this. But for lighter duty whipper snippers, this is never going to work and probably overkill for edging and so on.
How does it actually go though? I run 2.4mm on my UMS425 (bent shaft but understand same engine) and the local mower shop says they're spec'd for 2mm as standard.
I've been using this line for over a year, runs fine, never had an issue with it. Way better than other cheap lines I had tried.
When I looked into line size years ago, there was a lot of conflicting information out there. I ran some 3mm (different brand, smaller quantity) in it for a while, which was fine, and then jumped on this stuff.
Although the Stihl orange mentioned below, looks better than this in terms of price. Assuming it's a similar quality, I might give that a go next.
I use this commercially with my UMK425 and it is excellent
How well does it handle cutting grass against wire fences?
I love my Honda UMK425 and UMK435.
I use 2.7mm of this line. Cuts through weeds like button.
I buy Stihl orange line it's 2.4mm and 420 metres for $77 in mitre 10. Just soak it in water for 24 hours to hydrate the line .
Noob question, why do you soak it in water?
Makes it more flexible so it doesn't snap as much
Anyone know if this suits the Makita 36V multitool whipper snipper attachment? Not sure if the 36V will struggle with this, referring to other comments. Thanks
Damn I thought this was printer filament
Would probably be useful to include the length in the title. Good deal!
