Oregon 20-118 Platinum Gatorline Supertwist Trimmer Line .08-Inch by 414-Foot

What It Is

The Oregon 20-118 Platinum Gatorline Supertwist Trimmer Line is a .08-inch diameter, 414-foot spool of twisted, serrated trimmer line designed for light-duty electric and battery-powered string trimmers, including EGO models. It’s meant for trimming grass and light weeds around lawns, gardens, and edges.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Line diameter: .08-inch (2.0 mm) – fits most electric/battery trimmers that accept .065 to .095-inch line. Check your trimmer’s manual for the maximum line diameter; using too thick a line can overload the motor or jam the head.
• Spool size: 414-foot bulk spool – you’ll need to cut and load your own lengths. Not a pre-wound drop-in spool for EGO’s SpeedFeed heads.
• Brand compatibility: Works with EGO, Ryobi, Black+Decker, Greenworks, and other trimmers that use .08-inch line. Not for gas trimmers or heavy-duty brush cutters.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Aftermarket alternative to EGO’s own .080 line. No fitment issues if your trimmer head accepts bulk line.
• What to check before buying: Confirm your trimmer model’s line diameter limit (usually stamped on the head or in the manual). Also verify that your trimmer head can be manually wound with bulk line (most can, but some EGO models require a specific pre-wound spool).

Key Things to Know

• Quality & performance: The “Supertwist” shape and serrated edge cut faster and quieter than round line, with less vibration. Good for light weeds, but will wear quickly on thick brush or against fences.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – just cut 20–25 ft lengths, feed into the head, and wind. No tools needed. Watch out for twisting; keep the line tight to avoid tangles.
• Common gotcha: The .08-inch diameter is thinner than many EGO stock lines (often .095-inch). It will feed more easily but may break more often in heavy use. Not ideal for dethatching or edging against concrete.
• Longevity: 414 ft is a lot – expect months of trimming for a typical home lawn. The line degrades in UV and moisture; store in a dry, dark place.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have an electric or battery trimmer that accepts .08-inch line, want a quiet, smooth cut for grass and light weeds, and prefer a bulk spool for cost savings. It’s a solid upgrade from standard round line for residential use. Skip it if you need heavy-duty line for thick weeds, brush, or commercial work—go with .095-inch or larger.
