CUB Cadet WLM-180 280 Feet of .080" Maxi Edge Commercial Trimmer Line for Shaft String Trimmers

What It Is

A 280-foot spool of .080-inch diameter Maxi Edge trimmer line designed for commercial-grade gas and electric shaft string trimmers. This line is built for heavy-duty trimming along edges, sidewalks, and fences, offering durability for frequent or professional use.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Diameter: .080 inch (fits most standard string trimmers, but check your manual for max line size; .080 is common for mid-to-heavy duty models).
• Brand Fit: Cub Cadet branded, but works with any trimmer that accepts .080 line—no proprietary lock-in.
• Trimmer Type: Compatible with gas, electric, and battery-powered shaft trimmers (straight or curved shaft) using bump-feed, fixed-head, or auto-feed systems.
• What to Check Before Buying:
  • Confirm your trimmer’s line diameter range (usually stamped on the head or in manual). Using .080 in a trimmer rated for smaller line (e.g., .065) can jam or overload the motor.
  • Ensure your trimmer head can hold 280 feet—some compact heads may require spooling less line.
  • Not for lawn mowers or edgers; designed for handheld string trimmers only.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Maxi Edge line is square or serrated-edged for clean cutting; resists fraying and breaking better than round line.
• Installation: Easy to wind onto most trimmer heads—follow your trimmer’s manual for proper spooling direction to avoid tangling.
• Common Gotcha: The 280-foot length is generous, but if your trimmer head holds less, you’ll have leftover line. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent brittleness.
• Durability: Good for thick grass and light weeds, but may wear faster on rocky or abrasive surfaces—.095 or .105 line is better for extreme abuse.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a standard shaft trimmer (gas or electric) and need reliable, long-lasting line for frequent edge trimming or commercial tasks. It’s a solid value for the price—just double-check your trimmer’s line diameter first. Avoid if your trimmer requires thinner line or you only do light residential work (a smaller spool may suffice).
