This is a 0.080-inch twisted trimmer line designed for Makita gas and electric trimmers and brushcutters, but also compatible with most standard cordless trimmers. The twisted shape cuts through light weeds and grass more aggressively than round line, making it ideal for residential trimming and edging.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, verify your trimmer accepts 0.080-inch line (check your manual or existing line thickness). This fits most Makita models (e.g., XRU15, XRU23, UR01, UR02) and many other brands with standard bump-feed or fixed-line heads. It will not work on trimmers requiring larger diameter line (0.095–0.130 inch) or those with proprietary spools. Measure your spool capacity: 175 feet (1/2 lb) fits standard 10–12 inch spools. Aftermarket line, not OEM Makita.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Twisted design reduces wear and improves cutting compared to round line, but may fray faster on abrasive edges (e.g., concrete, stone).
- Installation: Easy to load on most bump-feed heads; no special tools needed. Use the correct winding direction (usually clockwise) per your trimmer manual.
- Gotcha: 0.080 inch is thinner than many gas trimmers prefer (0.095+). For heavy brush or tall weeds, step up to 0.095 inch or thicker.
- Length: 175 feet is generous—enough for multiple reloads. Store in a dry place to prevent brittleness.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you own a standard cordless or electric trimmer (especially Makita) and need a reliable, aggressive line for light-to-medium lawn trimming. It’s a great value for the price, but skip it if you have a heavy-duty gas trimmer or need line for thick brush or commercial use.
