Oregon Star Shaped 2.7mm Strimmer Line with Aluminium Particles, Tackles Long Grass, Weeds & Thick Vegetation, Professional Heavy Duty Strimmer Wire, Fits Most Standard Models, 2.7 mm x 70 m (110987E)

Bought this after reading all the good reviews and I'm so glad I did! It's way better than anything I'd used previously and lasts so much longer. The first time I used it, it felt like I was using a different strimmer! I know that sounds strange but the line's so strong that it felt like the whole strimmer was more powerful (and our strimmer is powerful Ryobi) - I think it makes it vibrate slightly more due to the line being so tough but I could feel the difference in cutting power immediately. I cut mainly shortish grass with some weeds mixed in and we have 1.5 acres - the line lasts about 45-60 mins. When I'm doing the occasional 'tough' cutting (long thick weeds/pond reeds, etc) then it lasts less than that depending on how tough but far longer than any other line I've used. Not once have I 'lost' one of the ends totally, unlike all previous lines I've used when it seemed to happen all the time. I'd say this lasts at least 3, if not 4, times longer than other lines that are supposedly good quality. Just wish I'd discovered this sooner as it makes the job far easier and less annoying when you don't have to keep stopping!

Still the quality and value strimmer line, and good value when you buy 100+ yds.

Line recommended to me. Not disappointed as it lasts well.

This is much stronger than conventional round-section strimmer lines. I use a Stihl FS-50 and this out-performs Stihl's own-brand line for strength, but that's only half the story. What you get is a strimmer that can tackle some jobs that would otherwise need a brush-cutter. The compromise is that the bump-feed does not work as well, but this is easily solved by lubricating the reel with silicone spray and by manually feeding the line (i.e. depress and rotate the bump feed by hand and then pull the lines to extend). This sounds like a pain, but the line rarely breaks, so I simply extend it every 10 minutes or so if I'm cutting tough stuff. It doesn't entirely replace the brush-cutter and of course, because it's so strong, it could hurt when it breaks. I think it essential than you have a helmet and face visor (not just goggles) and decent boots with this sort of line. If you like to strim wearing flip-flops and shorts, don't buy this!

Recently introduced to this wire. Its very durable and does a brillint job. You will need a powerful petrol strimmer (Mines Old Stihl FS450) to get the best out of it, and it will get through most things. Deals with very thick (10mm+) Bramble trunk stalks very well and for me its now my "GOTO" strimmer wire. Until I find something else this is the best. I use this with my bump feed spool (if you haven't got one, GET ONE) and it solves the problem of broken line most of the time, so you can just get on with the strimming. Also works a dream as a general purpose grass and nettle line. Good Value. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I only ever use Oregon Nylium never lets me down, very strong cuts through everything performs great on brambles long grass etc I always stick with the 2.4mm thickness as it covers all my needs excellent strimmer wire

5 star design allow cleaner cut than my bone stock Dewalt line. However, substantially louder noise from the trimmer. I assume this has to do with air turbulence created by the 5 star design. Also, since the line is so durable, it seems to not stay straight and curls onto the head. I will try a higher speed to prevent curling.

My go to filament for my Stihl petrol strimmer. The line last quite a long time when doing normal long grass and weeds and will go through brambles and nettles, but at the expense of longevity.
