Need some DURABLE 0.155 trimmer line (not steel cable)

[Fred Werring]

High wheel trimmer. Had some Arnold brand, it was OK.
But ran out, bought some super -duper Shakespeare Impact Twisted Trimmer Line at TSC...this stuff is terrible.
So do I go back to the Arnold, or is there something better?


Thanks

On July 17 I posted about the Husqvarna line that I had just installed. It is holding up way better than what I had on before

Are you soaking it in water before using it?
Makes a huge difference ime

google it. Several choices and reviews on the best line.

That was step 1. But waaay too many are paid reviews. I read good google reviews about the garbage line I bought. Just thought I'd get some real world opinions from the guys here.

I buy mine at the mower/ small engine shop. Ask for what the lanscapers use. I'm not sure of current brand. Maybe Stihl? The "Arnold " brand has always been junk. Most of what Tractor Supply in general is junk.

Never heard of soaking in water will try it though. How long do you soak it?

It does work , I usually leave it overnight. The twisted line is not so successful though . When I soaked it it tangled and contorted badly , made it very difficult to spool . It did last longer .

I bought some that has a wire down the center (multi strand cable type thing) incased in a heavy plastic outer sheath with surface deformations to help it cut better. Don't have it handy as I type this.
