Echo String Trimmer Cross Fire Line 5-Pound Commercial Square .095-Inch-by-1280-ft String Trimmer Line in Spool (0.095, Red)

What It Is

This is a 5-pound commercial-grade spool of Echo’s Cross Fire .095-inch square trimmer line, designed for heavy-duty trimming on gas-powered string trimmers. It’s built for extended run time and cutting thick weeds, brush, or overgrown grass without frequent reloading.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Line diameter: .095-inch (2.4 mm) – fits most commercial and pro-sumer trimmers that accept .095 or .080–.105 line. Check your trimmer’s manual or head for the maximum line diameter.
• Brand fit: Works with Echo, Stihl, Husqvarna, Ryobi, and other brands that use a standard .095 spool or bump-feed head. Not designed for electric or battery trimmers with smaller line capacities.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Echo-branded line, but compatible with any trimmer head that accepts .095 square line. No adapter needed for most bump-feed or fixed-line heads.
• Length: 1,280 feet per spool – enough for dozens of refills. Measure your trimmer head’s spool capacity (usually 20–40 feet) to estimate how many refills you’ll get.
• Physical check: Ensure your trimmer head can hold a 5-pound spool (some home-use heads are too small). If using a hand-wind head, you’ll need to cut and load line manually.

Key Things to Know

• Durability: The square shape and Cross Fire design reduce line fraying and breakage compared to round or twisted line, especially on concrete or rocks.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty – spool is pre-wound, so you just drop it into compatible heads. For non-Echo heads, you may need to trim the line ends to match the head’s feed slots.
• Weight: 5 pounds is heavy for one spool – good for commercial use but overkill for occasional home trimming. Store in a dry area to prevent moisture damage.
• Common gotcha: Some bump-feed heads require .095 line to be cut at a 45° angle for reliable feeding. If your head jams, check the line end shape.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you run a commercial trimmer or have large properties with thick brush and need a long-lasting, break-resistant line that reduces downtime. Skip it for small yards or electric trimmers – you’ll waste money and struggle with the heavy spool.
