What thickness of line are you looking for Pete?

If it's 1.5mm I can recommend one that works well in my strimmer.

You need to have the right strimmer wire for the job. For example the 1.5mm wire I use works well on grass edging but would break rather quickly on nettles

thanks anchorman ,the 1 im useing at present is 1.65mm its just like soft fishing line , i have tried the 2mm & its just the same ,im replaceing it every few seconds cheers pete

hi pete i use the green line on a stihl strimmer the make is ALM i find it fairly strong and lasts a fair while good luck.

I use this one from ALM

It seems stronger than other 1.5mm lines but I only use it for grass edging so if you're doing heavier work it may not be OK.

thanks guys , i have bought the alm of ebay will try it out thanks again cheers pete

I cut and strim the edges of the lawns of 35 customers a week and i find the 1.5mm line from ALM works really well. Obviously I have to bump the line quite regularly as it wears but it rarely breaks. Usually only if I hit a thick twig or the electric cable.

I'd say it breaks no more than once or twice a week doing solely lawn edging work.

sounds good stuff anchorman thanks its on its way from ebay ha ha cheers pete
