Stens 380-831 Silver Streak Trimmer Line 1,155-Foot by .080-Inch

What It Is

The Stens 380-831 is a bulk spool of .080-inch diameter, round trimmer line designed for gas and electric string trimmers used in residential and light commercial lawn care. The 1,155-foot length suits high-volume users who need to reload multiple heads or frequently trim large properties.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Line diameter: .080-inch (2.0mm) – fits most standard trimmer heads that accept lines from .065 to .095-inch. Check your trimmer’s manual for max/min line size; using too thick a line can overload the head or engine.
• Length per spool: 1,155 feet – one spool typically refills 30–40 standard bump-feed heads (depending on head capacity).
• Brand/model: Universal fit for any trimmer brand (e.g., Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, Ryobi, Toro) that uses .080-inch line. Not specific to any OEM part number.
• Before buying: Verify your trimmer’s line diameter requirement (printed on the head or manual). Also confirm your head type – this is round line, not twisted or serrated, so it works best in standard bump or fixed-line heads, not heavy-duty dual-feed systems that require thicker line.

Key Things to Know

• Durability: Silver Streak is a co-polymer nylon blend designed for good cut quality and moderate abrasion resistance. It’s not the toughest for heavy weeds or rocky terrain – expect faster wear than premium twisted lines.
• Installation: Easy to load – spool unwinds uniformly without tangling. No special tools needed. Cut to head-specific lengths (usually 10–15 feet per reload).
• Common gotcha: The .080-inch diameter is thinner than most “standard” lines (.095-inch). If your trimmer is rated for .080 or .095, this will work, but you may need to bump-feed more often due to faster wear.
• Value: At ~$32 for 1,155 feet, it’s cost-effective for frequent trimmers – about 2.8 cents per foot. One spool can last a full season for a 1/2-acre lot.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a trimmer that uses .080-inch line and you want a reliable, affordable bulk option for routine grass trimming on clean lawns. Skip it if you need heavy-duty line for thick weeds, brambles, or rough terrain – look for .095-inch or twisted/star-shaped line instead.
