Best Strimmer Line

[matt_uk]

Why do others use 2mm line?

I've not tried the bigger stuff but good quality 2.4mm stuff seems to do the majority of what I need without issue... Sometimes I'll make it work harder than it should and I should buy a real of the 3mm to try out... perhaps I'll splash out on the Portek head and some 4mm for bigger work in the new year...

If you mean 2.4mm, it's because it's all you need for grass and light brambles. Less drag and quicker cut.

Interesting reply. As I said I've been doing a direct comparison over a large area and found 4mm to be a lot quicker than 2.4mm using a portek head on grass and brambles. Obviously your experience is different but just wondered. Thanks for reply.

Offer of a strim-off still stands my friend. Lavant Church is looking a bit crappy, it could be our good deed for the month?

 

Anyone up for a competition meet? Like a ploughing match but for sad muppets like me?

 

I'm all about the right tools for the job. You change the bar on your saw according to what you're cutting, why should strimming be any different?

On one hand you say " change the bar according to what you are cutting " why should strimming be any different ....and on the other hand you say " 2.4 is all you need " :001_smile: :001_smile:

You're worse than the Daily Mail for quoting out of context

 

I said 'all you need for grass and light brambles

 

Plenty of times I've extolled the virtues of thicker lines and more of them for heavier bramble type things, or blades for thicker stuff. But thick twin line is a waste of time on light stuff in my view.
