Weed Eater string keeps breaking - need a better solution

[native_texan]

Either your string is rotten or it's just cheap. I had the exact same problem. Bought new string and problem solved.

10-4 on this ^^^^

put one of these one and really like it, it will go through one set of four blades about every 4th time i use it, thats mowing, weed eating and edging every week

I tried the depot brand it was crap I may need to try this one. I use the echo but its still a pain in the butt when it gets up inside.

I tried those. I've got five acres to mow and weed eat. I would go through two packs of blades each time I weed eated. At six to eight bucks a pack it was just too costly.

Someone told me this a long time ago and it works!
Keep your spool of line in a small bucket of water it keeps the line from being brittle

This! Soak it in water for a few days.

I use this in my Echo, have had a donut of it for about 5 years now...I think I have had to respool the trimmer head maybe 4-5 times in that timeframe



Rotary Vortex Black .105

pretty cheap too...I got it at McCoys mower shop in Austin but here is a link on Amazon

gas varieties will last as long as you don't leave untreated ethanol flavored gas in them

I use the .095 stuff, Echo branded on my Echo trimmers. I cut yards for extra cash and this stuff is pretty tough, I spool once a week maybe, lots of edging and trimming. If you are trimming against fence it will eat line to get a clean cut.
