Question 1

Why does the trimmer line keep breaking?

Accepted Answer

Old trimmer line is prone to breaking. The nylon or copolymer in the line tends to dry out if you leave it to stand for a few years. Fortunately, it's possible to rejuvenate the line using a bit of water. Soak a sponge and leave it to drip over the spool. The nylon or polymer will absorb the moisture, restoring the integrity of your trimmer line.

Question 2

Are all trimmer lines universally compatible with all brands of trimmers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most trimmer lines and all the products in this review are universally compatible with leading trimmer brands. However, make sure you're buying the right size line to suit the trimmer head.

Question 3

Which way do I wind the trimmer line?

Accepted Answer

We recommend winding your trimmer line in the opposite direction of the bump-heads rotation. If you wind the line in the same direction, it results in the cable coming loose in the bump-head, resulting in improper feeding action.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

If you're shopping online, we recommend using Amazon. Amazon is the world's largest retailer, with thousands of products available for your trimmer. You get the best range at the best prices and buyer protection on your order. Prime members get fast, free shipping and hassle-free returns.
