Milwaukee 49-16-2713 TRIMMER LINE, 095" x 250'

What It Is

The Milwaukee 49-16-2713 is a 0.095-inch diameter, 250-foot spool of professional-grade trimmer line designed for gas and electric string trimmers. It’s built for heavy-duty clearing of thick grass, weeds, and light brush, not for light residential trimming.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Line diameter: 0.095-inch – fits trimmer heads that accept 0.080–0.105-inch line. Do not use in heads rated for 0.065–0.080-inch only (causes jamming and poor feeding).
• Spool type: Bulk spool (250 feet) – no pre-wound spool. You must cut and wind your own line onto your trimmer’s spool. Not compatible with speed-feed or bump-feed heads that require pre-cut lengths.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Genuine Milwaukee part. Works in any brand trimmer head that accepts 0.095-inch line (Husqvarna, Echo, Stihl, Ryobi, etc.) – no model-specific restrictions.
• What to check: Confirm your trimmer’s line diameter range in the manual or on the head itself. Measure your current line if unsure. This line is too thick for lightweight electric trimmers (e.g., 18V or 20V Ryobi/Black+Decker) – those typically need 0.065–0.080-inch.

Key Things to Know

• Cutting performance: Stays stiff in heat, resists fraying better than standard round line. Good for scalping thick grass and weeds. Not for edging – too thick.
• Installation difficulty: Medium. You’ll need to cut 10–12 foot lengths and wind tightly onto your spool. Avoid kinking – it’s stiff and can snap if bent sharply.
• Common gotcha: The line is brittle in cold weather (below 40°F). Warm it up indoors before winding to prevent breakage. Also, expect some breakage on rocks or concrete – that’s normal for any 0.095-inch line.
• Value: 250 feet is a lot – lasts a full season for most homeowners, but pros may go through it in a month. Price per foot is lower than buying pre-cut spools.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a gas or high-voltage electric trimmer (40V or higher) and need a durable, no-frills line for heavy weed and brush clearing. Skip it if you use a lightweight trimmer (under 40V) or prefer pre-wound spools for quick swaps – this requires manual winding. Ideal for homeowners with tough yards or pros wanting bulk value.
