MaxPower 338813 0.080-in Premium Twisted Trimmer Line, 280-Foot Length

What It Is

The MaxPower 338813 is a 0.080-inch twisted trimmer line, 280 feet per spool, designed for gas, electric, and battery-powered string trimmers. It’s best for medium-duty residential trimming—edging along sidewalks, fences, and flower beds, where thicker line than standard 0.065-inch is needed without jumping to heavy-duty 0.095-inch.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Line diameter: 0.080-inch (2.0 mm). Fits most trimmer heads that accept 0.080-inch line, including bump-feed, manual-feed, and fixed-line heads. Check your trimmer’s manual or existing line spool for diameter compatibility. If your trimmer uses 0.065-inch, this line will not feed properly and may jam.
• Length: 280 feet total. Enough for multiple refills on most residential trimmers. Confirm your trimmer’s maximum line capacity per spool (often 12–20 feet per eyelet) to avoid overloading.
• Brand/model fit: Universal fit for any trimmer brand (Echo, Husqvarna, Stihl, Ryobi, Craftsman, etc.) as long as line diameter matches. Not OEM-specific—no need for proprietary spools.
• Twist shape: Twisted profile reduces noise and vibration compared to round line, but may not work in heads designed strictly for round or square lines without adapters. Test a short piece first.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Premium nylon resists melting and snapping better than budget lines. Users report 20–30% longer life than standard round line of the same diameter.
• Installation: Easy to install on most bump-feed heads—no special tools. For fixed-line heads, cut 6–8 inch pieces. Avoid overloading the spool; too much line can cause feed issues.
• Common gotcha: The twisted shape can tangle if you wind it unevenly. Always wind tightly and in the direction marked on your trimmer head. If your trimmer has a curved shaft, this line may whip more due to its twist—adjust speed accordingly.
• Performance: Good for thin grass and weeds; not for thick brush or heavy woody vegetation. For that, step up to 0.095-inch or larger.

Should You Buy It

Buy it if you want a durable, quiet upgrade from basic 0.065-inch line for routine lawn trimming on a standard residential trimmer. Skip it if you need heavy-duty clearing or if your trimmer only accepts 0.065-inch line. At $13.49 for 280 feet, it’s a solid value for most homeowners.
