What It Is

This is a 0.065-inch diameter twisted nylon trimmer line, 280 feet total, designed for cutting medium to heavy grass and weeds. It fits most standard gas and electric string trimmers that accept 0.065-inch line (common on homeowner-grade units).

Fitment & Compatibility

  • Line diameter: 0.065 inches – measure your existing line or check your trimmer’s manual. This size works with most bump-feed and fixed-head spools but is too thick for many lightweight electric trimmers (which often take 0.040–0.055).
  • Compatible trimmers: Fits universal replacement – works with brands like Weed Eater, Troy-Bilt, Husqvarna, Ryobi, Echo, and Craftsman, as long as the spool or head accepts 0.065 line.
  • What to check: Confirm your trimmer head’s maximum line diameter (often stamped on the head or in the manual). Also verify the head type – some fixed-head or speed-feed models require specific line shapes (e.g., round vs. twisted). This twisted line works best in bump-feed heads.
  • OEM vs aftermarket: Not OEM. Aftermarket line – fine for most, but may be slightly stiffer than premium OEM line. No direct OEM part number cross-reference.

Key Things to Know

  • Quality: Red nylon is durable and resists fraying better than cheap clear line. Twisted shape improves cutting efficiency on thicker weeds but can be noisier and may wear faster on pavement.
  • Installation: Easy to load into bump-feed spools – no special tools. For fixed-head or pre-wound spools, you’ll need to cut to length and thread manually.
  • Gotcha: 0.065 line is on the thicker side for small electric trimmers (e.g., 18V/20V models). If your trimmer struggles to feed or bogs down, go thinner (0.055 or 0.060).
  • Length: 280 feet is generous – enough for multiple refills or several trimmers.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a mid-sized gas or high-end electric trimmer with a bump-feed head and regularly cut thick grass or light brush. Skip it if you use a small electric trimmer (under 12” cut) or need a round line for fixed-head spools – you’ll have feeding issues.
