What's your favorite Weed-Eater Line?

My favorite line is Gator Line .095 dia. Holds up well even when edging with your weed-eater. Doesn't tend to melt to itself like many other lines I have used in the past. It has a wire infussed within the line itself. Tough Stuff!

It's a twisted hex with wire. The square hex tends to not feed well and melts alot. Their has been a few knock offs, not nearly as good as the Gator Line Brand.

Does all the gator line have wire in it?

All that I have seen does. You can physically see the wire inside it. Give it a try, you'll like it. They retail it in very small amounts or the large spool for commercial guys.

Actually Gatorline doesn't have any wire in it to my knowledge. The line is made of two different materials to give it optimum performance. The core is made from a high strength polymer that resists breaking. The outer layer is made from a abrasion resistant polymer with anti-welding properties. The outer layer is also reinforced with Aramid fibers. I buy the .105 by the spool.

I learned something new, good stuff! I used to use the .105, since this line is so tough I switched to the
.095 to get more on the heads. Less restringing.

Anyone use the individual replacement lines rather than spools?

Yes, I know a few. They like them. Works ok for a smaller yard with no chain link fence.

Individual replacement lines would be to expensive for anyone in the business to use say nothing about time consuming. As a homeowner I have used them and they work well if you don't have a lot of area to cover.

I've been using the Gator line for the last year or so and have been very happy with its performance.
