Best trimmer line on the planet 

I bought a 3lb spool to give it a try. I'm amazed at how long it lasts and is very quiet compared to the shaped lines. Thanks for the recommendation!

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. ru-vid.comUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

This line is AMAZING!! Like you I've lost count of how many different trimmer lines I've tried over the years. Everything you said from cut quality to durability is spot on!! Thank you for this tip/recommendation.

I've been using this for 2 years after watching this video. I ran through a giant $25 spool of Home Depot stuff. It was about half the length of this spool. I was re-spooling it every two weeks. I use my trimmer 30 times a year. I still haven't replaced the first spool of this stuff that I put on my trimmer. I typically have to extend the string one to two times per lawn cut. Worth every penny!

My dealer recommended this line to me and it doesn't scalp when ran out long and it lasts! Good video!

I researched plenty and took the advice of George here, and have just tried out this black line on all my normal front and back trimming.. In a word - AMAZING !!!! The shipment was very fast and the spool arrived very well packed and undamaged.. On start up, first thing I noticed - no trimmer line noise at all... It's gone.. All you hear is the air moving, a much lower, smoother to the ears sound.. This tells me the line is moving very smoothly through the air - love this.. I only needed much less than half throttle; my echo was just purring along, and this line cut very efficiently, left sharp edges, and smoothly across all kinds of things.. And since I needed way less rpm to do the same thing, I did an entire big back yard and a little smaller front yard, lots of grass to edge, and I never even had to hit the spool on the ground to advance more line... Thanks George ! All the decades of busting myself and machines up with lines that were so unbalanced are gone !!! This line also cuts very gently and precisely across those "high" areas of grass that are still there after mowing, you know what I mean? Very smooth cutting, no tearing of the grass blades, very easy to manage this also.. I don't have a shield on my echo, so I can very easily see what is happening when I flip it over to just shave off that high corner next to the sidewalk , which gets more water, and is always a little higher.. So glad to be done with all those other types of lines !!! I just don't see the need for them ever again...

My favorite trimmer line is the free stuff I got from the old lady next door.

We've been using this string because George said it was great! And it is! Awesome stuff! Thanks George!

Following your recommendation I ordered a spool of 'this line and love it. I have used echo and Stihl last few years and this is far better. Biggest difference I am noticing is we are using about half the amount of line we used to use. It just seems to hold up better I think it's because it's a bit more flexible and doesn't seem to snap so easily. Thanks!

I've been looking for a good weed eater line, because I know there's one out there. Looks like I found it. Thanks again George!

A great product!!! I bought the Copperhead Vortex Professional line and tried it for the first time today. I cut 10-12” high thick grass in it a 150’ long irrigation ditch then trimmed around my house until the machine ran out of gas.. I never once had to tap the hub to make more line come out. The same 5" long pieces of line sticking out of the hub were there when I finished. Never had that happen before.

I just have to say thank you. I tried this stuff tonight and it works great. I didn't use half of the gas I normally do and only a fraction of the trimmer line. One more plus I didn't even think of is I wasn't covered from head to toe in weeds when I was done . It cuts the weeds instead of tearing them and wasn't running it full throttle throwing crap all over the place.

Thanks George, Just ordered it up on amazon, they should give you a little kick back for all the sales you're generating.

I can vouch for this trimmer line, it even survives against chain link fences where others lines act like cheese on a cheese grater. Great line!

i second your professional opinion. i love this cord. came across it a couple years ago and it's my go to for the jungles I'm fighting in Texas. it does last quite a bit longer than the other crap out there. really great for edging yards that aren't maintained on a regular basis

Thank you George for the advice. No more flea market junk for me and I don't do trimming for a living. Greg

"This shit stayed flat." I don't know why but that made me laugh hard.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video I am ordering some now off amazon

I use that exact same line. I found it in a mower repair shop in South Central Kansas. I too have used many different types of wine over the years and have found this to be by far the best.

Always appreciate you sharing your experience George.

I will have to give that line a try. I have used a ton of different lines still haven't found one that really makes me happy. I just looked at this one on Amazon and found it for 38 bucks for a 5 lb. spool so It can't hurt to give a try next season.

I use this, it is the best trimmer line I have ever found, it lasts longer and I have tried several brands and types.

yes sir.....i purchased this and tested it today. i was cutting wild grass, weeds, etc that was 2"-12" tall. cut thru it like butter. i hardly had to bump the head for more line. it lasts and kicks butt! thanks so much

Hey George thanks for letting us know about this trimmer line this stuff is awesome I just bought it a week ago and it cuts nice and it's strong as hell even specially here in Miami where we have St Augustine grass I have used it all week long and haven't had to fill our spools what's great about we don't have to tap our spools as much to advance line our spools will last longer now thanks George.

yes this is the line we have been using for years great line good durability , low vibration , good cut , low noise.

I took your advice and purchase some. You are right, this stuff does not self destruct like the cheap stuff. Thanks a lot.

I drilled and rapped my trimmer spool with 3/16 aircraft cable about 2 years ago and its still like the day i put it on. I did weld the ends as to not fray. The stuff you have does work nice though. My cable will eat a fence post if i get to close lol, so the plastic is a little more forgiving.

I just bought a large spool based on your review. Thanks brotha.

Dang this is some great line! I really like it. Thanks for the info G P

I've been using the .105" variant of this line for many years. The .130 is a beast for thick brush. I carry this line size as well as other sizes in different package lengths at my shop too. It's the best thing since sliced bread as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for the information; I'll keep an eye out for it here in the Blue Mountains of Australia. Everything I've used has been rubbish. I don't use spools but a little gadget called a Triton which is great but the line still gets brittle and breaks.

Thank you! I’m ordering it now. I just trimmed today and my line just pushed the grass over- wouldn’t cut unless the throttle was wide open.

At 1:38 " This SHIT stayed flat " Love it!!!! You don't need to say anything else. I'm buying it tomorrow. THANKS.

This shit stayed flat! Love it! I'm sold!

Thank you for letting me know about this line. By far the best I have used. It lasts and cuts the best.

I've been hunting for a good trimmer line. Watched numerous videos of people saying whatever trimmer line they were pimping was the best, and I'm just like no, I've used them and they're garbage. Just like you said, from Echo to Stilh and everything in between. Couldn't find one that I liked. Then I saw your video and I said to myself, what the hell ,might as well try this one too. I was skeptical up until I made my first pass, at the end of the day I was like man this is the shit I've been looking for. Great trimmer line and great video. Thank you boss for not misleading me on this. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, George. I ordered small spool to check it out. Take care.

Well, if it's good enough for Pacino, it's good enough for me!

I bought this trimmer line based on your video and you are 100% correct sir. I think that I have tried almost every type of line known to man and this stuff is as you say, terrific.

You is right G this stuff is great been running the .80 now waiting on a roll of .95.

Best I ever used was a .95 bass string. Of course it will take your foot off if you aren't careful.

ALWAYS run a 2 stroke engine at full throttle, to get cooling and use a 16 to 1 fuel oil mix, your trimmer will last for years, and yes Rotary is good products, this is from having a shop for 46 years

My dad got me a spool of this line for the season. And man does it do great. It cuts very even wobbles very little my edges look perfect

Been really happy with gator line for a few years but I’ve never got more than two weeks out of a head so I’m going to give this a try. thanks Packard!

That sounds like some tough "shit" haha I'ma buy some

for tall and thick grass oregon gatorline is the best no comparison

Thanks for addressing the 'flatness' issue. This is exactly the review I was looking for.

I bought a roll. Did three sides of my five acre field cattle fence. Amazing? It never broke off flush, never melted inside the head like the orange name brand and would always bumped out when I needed it. Thank you for this video.

Echo released new Black Diamond line claiming it's razor sharp. It kind of looks like this Vortex line. Maybe it is.

I need this line in my echo srm-225....which i might ad is completely rebuilt by me! Hahaha

I have been using the 105. on a craftsman 1 piece non-winding head for years. Outstanding stuff, nothing better. Works great in Louisiana. I have tried many others, they just don't last like this brand of line. Sears sells this same type in smaller quantities. Try it once, you may never go back to your old stuff.

Thank you for the professional recommendation. I bought this line using your affiliate link. I look forward to putting it through its paces. Your insight and perspectives are extremely appreciated.

i will give it a whirl. I use husqvarna titanium force. If it works better than that it will be my new favorite product. But let me tell you, that husky line is the bees knees. Give it a shot.

Your the man

same stuff I use on my Echo it really is the best 2-3 weeks is no exaggeration half throttle works great!

Thanks haven't used a lot of lines you got me quickly dialed in. Got the new Dewalt 60v line-trimmer and the stock line on it was ok but I just tried the one you recommended and its definitely a step up. Thank you sir for the great advice.

This stuff really is incredible!, i can't be more impressed!😀

square line last longer cutting in beds... any the twisted seems to cause more problems in the speed feed heads... but im sure your right about the cut quality of the line... but for anyone cutting in tons of beds all day... try any type of square string

ive been using this line for years. funny I just came across your video. I'm in Utah and this line is cheaper than most others. The major thing I like about it is besides being strong, I find its quieter than most other lines..

Thanks George! I just ordered a roll from your link and will be here in 2 days.I guess I got tired of having to pick up little pieces of hot pink line so they should make this in green.

I got that trimmer line that geek to freak recommended that you can get at lowes or Home Depot

You have my complete attention, because I NEVER run a motor faster/harder than it takes to do the job. Therefore, my equipment lasts FAR longer than the "git erdunn" communities.

You ain't lying, brah.. I bought this stuff since I saw this video a year ago.. for me it last 4 to 6 times longer than the other crap.. GREAT STUFF!!!!

I just ordered on your and other’s recommendations . I’m looking forward to putting it to the test. Thanks for the review.

I will give that black licorice looking shit a try out here in Az. I run W.F.O. here in the heat i dont break for nothing not even rattlesnakes.

Best trimmer line on the planet; roundup! No trimmer or line needed.

Thank you George! My fs94R is even more of a monster now!! 💪

Thank you for posting this video and I’m definitely going to give this line a try. I’m tired of the string breaking every ten minutes or so and having to stop to spool the trimmer again. It’s extremely frustrating and often, I just give up for the day. I’ve also heard of people using tie wraps and even coat hangers.

Thanks for this video. Just purchased a 110' spool and i know it's going to perform well and it's going to last. I too like to edge with the trimmer turned sideways so i can't wait to not have to pull more string every 10'

I been cutting grass for 30 years now and this shit is the best line by far! thx George..kick ass!!

Well young feller! I'm gonna follow your lead on the vortex rotary line. Happy trails to me!

its true what you say about it flying straight and being durable and cutting the best, my lawns are so curvy I work with round line and controlled wave forms. but I use a 35cc machine. I also do mulch cuts just with the weedeater in some uphill jobs and the cheep round line splits at the end and cuts 5 times at a pass giving good atomized mulch. but for most people that twisty stuff is the best. I'm thinking of running it on my little T270.

Yeah great video George. I currently use Stihl trimmer line too. I'll definitely be looking for this for next season.

I have a very large yard. I watched your video and everything you have said is completely true. Unlike other brand lines that wobble up and down this line spins in an absolutely flat rotational disk making walk edging a real joy. Also, because of that, routine trimming goes better because you can maintain a level cut. Finally, because I have a Echo trimmer, I have been using Echo line, which is much better than generic, but Vortex is SO much better and goes SO much further. I get more that double the life out of this line per job. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you SO much for this video!

Thanks George you just got my sub and respect for taking the time to inform me of such a great product!

I use that on my trimmers same product and name but the one I get its just red and pure round but still keeps my lawns looking good

Thanks for the free advice, George! Here in Ireland the grass is soft but some of it is really hard and the trimmer head gets tangled up. I will give it a try

Sold. Just bought a $50 spool. I'm tired of bumping the head every 10 seconds cut good, and then having to restring every 5 minutes. When I weed eat, I burn it to the ground. It takes 3 weeks for it grow back. Having crappy string (I use Husqvarna crap). I bump the head, and 10 seconds after I have to bump it again. Hopefully this helps. Thanks.

Looks like good string, I use Oregon platinum and it looks just like yours except its blue string. Thanks for the video.

This the first video on RU-vid where I can honestly say he's not lying I use that in a 4-stroke 46cc weed wacker and hardly ever replaced it.

Thanks George ! Just ordered some.

I bought a roll to replace the sorry line on my DeWalt, and it works very well.

We only use this trimmer line and you are right it is the best. Eddie from Santa Ana, California

Nice il have to try this when my stuff runs out. That being said I was able to get like 500ft of detonation cord from my old work and that is the toughest damn stuff, works longer than anything i have found for weed whacking.

Thanks , the string is good. Bought a small roll to check it out. Noticed a difference immediately.

u are right...at the repair shop i work at...we sell it...customers tell me that they can do their whole lawn on one load...refering to the style head u push a piece in...some gave 2 some have 3 strings

We have been using this line since this video and absolutely. Love it!

Echo black diamond is my favorite so far the twist adds more rpm so less air drag more efficient and it slices the grass instead of slapping the grass.

Ordered a 5lb spool and it came in today. Was previously using shindiawa silent twist.

I live on 5 acres in north Fla and use an Echo straight shaft trimmer that I love but I have to re-spool the thing with the Echo heavy sharp edge line every 20 minutes it seems. I’m going to give this a shot! Thanks for the heads up and I’m a subscriber now! 👍

Thanks for your recommendation and also thanks to all the people on here who have tried it and commented. I'm upping my home lawn care game and rehabbing my lawns this year. I will give this a try!

That stuff IS good, like he says, I've used it for years. But I just bought a 58V AEG rechargeable electric line trimmer and when I tried a new line in it, my current favourite one, the performance just went through the roof. It was like the machine was suddenly supercharged. It blasts through metre high setaria and now I can clean up my 350 metre driveway with it - somewhere I haven't been able to get to before now because the banks are way to steep to get my Toro Z-Master on. The line I now use is a 3mm nylon (I guess) green one with a triangular profile. The shape makes it slice like a blade and the difference is astounding. The trimmer has a bump feed so I just load it up and go for it, no interruptions. I've just recharged the battery so I'm going out again to get back into it. Hope this is helpful. BTW those AEG rechargeables are AWESOME - do yourself a favour and try one.

I think you will find that the stability of the line rotating in a flat disc is down to the helical form of the cord. Very similar to the helical fins in tall thin chimneys fitted to prevent lateral oscillations in high winds. In the case of the strimmer the helical form stabilises to path of the cord as it goes round.

on my stihl, I use a skill saw blade it cuts grass up to a small tree 2" diameter, yep it will cut a metal fence post as well

Thank you for your advice ! I tried it. It really works perfectly well ! 🍻

Ehco black diamond is my fave. Looks the same as that stuff. Only downside is i have to cut the line sometimes trimming around sandy areas the line gets rounded off so i just snip it

I just had a half frustrating day with my trimmer once again. Still not happy. I'm ready to buy some of this stuff tonight. Can't wait now for my next big trimmer day. Florida homeowner. Record rains and jungle like grass growth. Thank you.

This stuff is amazing. No Joke. Thanks George, This stuff is more efficient and doesn't die. Last line you'll ever buy

As possible, I first use a 12" Husqy 3-knife blade. Takes very little throttle opening even on an antique 21 cc Echo straight-shaft. Then for near masonry & stuff I put on fixed-line head with a couple chunks of line I'm trying to use up. That's going slowly- not a problem to me. As an alternative, 11" 4-knife Husqy blade works great. Either way, woody stems are in jeopardy. Blades also don't cover me with debris, a BIG PLUS.

I watched this last week, ordered a spool of this from Amazon-$15. Let me tell you, do yourself a favor, get this. This is by FAR the best line I’ve ever used. I weed eat up against a lot of concrete. I used to use 6-7 feet of line in about 200 feet, with this line, using it this morning, I used two 1’ lengths to cut the same distance. I have no dog in this hunt, I’m just telling you this stuff is phenomenal.
