Weed Eater String Cross .095 Replace Echo Trimmer Line 5-Pound Commercial .095-inch-by-1280-ft Strimmer Trimmer Line in Spool (0.095, Cross, Red)

What It Is

This is a 5-pound spool of 0.095-inch-diameter, cross-shaped trimmer line designed for commercial-grade gas trimmers. It’s meant for heavy-duty clearing of thick grass, weeds, and light brush, not for light residential trimming.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Line diameter: 0.095 inches (2.4mm). Check your trimmer’s manual for the maximum line diameter it accepts—most standard heads take up to 0.095, but some residential models cap at 0.080 or 0.065.
• Brand compatibility: Listed as a replacement for Echo trimmer line, but the cross shape works in any trimmer head that accepts round or shaped line. Not specific to Echo only.
• Spool vs. bulk: This is bulk line on a spool, not a pre-wound spool. You must cut and load it into your trimmer head manually. No universal “fit” for the spool itself.
• Length: 1,280 feet total. Enough for many refills, but heavy for occasional home use.

Key Things to Know

• Cross shape cuts aggressively but wears faster than round line. The sharp edges help slice through thick growth but dull quicker on abrasive surfaces like concrete or gravel.
• Installation is moderate. You’ll need to cut 10–15 foot lengths and wind them evenly. Practice on a scrap piece first if you’re new to bulk line loading.
• Commercial-grade durability means it handles heat and impact better than cheap line, reducing breakage during heavy trimming. Not ideal for lightweight electric trimmers—the extra weight can strain the motor.
• No pre-cut pieces are included; you supply the cutting tool. A sharp knife or scissors works, but a line cutter tool makes clean ends.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you run a commercial gas trimmer daily and need a high-volume, aggressive line for thick weeds and brush. Skip it if you have a small residential trimmer—the 5-pound spool is overkill, and the cross shape may be too harsh for light grass. For occasional use, a smaller 0.095 round line spool is simpler to handle.
