Having a string trimmer is pretty much one of the yard equipment essentials. Even if you have a cheap gas string trimmer, you still are gonna need to buy replacement line. Now you have a lot of choices when it comes to replacement line.
I can tell you that shapes don’t make much of a difference in performance. Round would trimmer string is not a big deal, just a gimmick.
However, if you soak the line in water for 48 hours prior to installing it onto your trimmer, you will get longer and better performance. This is because the line easily dries out and if you soak it in water prior, it will flex more and better.
Some of the replacement options on the market like the grass gator, also offer a nice alternative to regular string trimmer line. I highly recommend you try some of these alternatives to regular string. I think you will find that they perform well and make things a lot easier for the homeowner who isn’t out trying to do a lot of lawns for a living, rather, just doing some simple weed eating around the home.
