Makita T-03866 Twisted Trimmer Line, 0.080”, Green, 175’, 1/2 lbs.

This works well. Keeps its length for a longer period than some when cutting weeds

I scoffed at using this 080 line on my brand new battery operated trimmer. After all, my other gasoline operated line trimmers were commercial rated trimmers that made 105 line fly like F22. So I went into this with all possible prejudice. After my first use, my predetermined opinion was shattered. And every use since, has bolstered the undeniable fact that it is the best line I have ever used. This line effectively cuts yard grass - even Bermuda grass; tall, thick and rough field grasses; salt grass; and upstart brush with the greatest of ease. I have used in dry soils and grasses; wet soils and grasses; grass patches in clay soils; coarse work; fine work; thrashed the bases of Bermuda grass clumps into oblivion; and even grasses slightly submerged in water. Bottom line, it is hands down the most durable line I have ever used. And it's effective as any line I've ever used in typical lawn conditions.

Used product as soon as delivered. Exactly s described. Very satisfied with product and quick delivery.

The package we received is marked made in USA, and I appreciate that. I imagine that Makita is probably putting their name on production from a supplier, which is a normal thing to do. We are using this in a Makita 18v trimmer and it works great. Cuts well and is very durable. Not the absolute best trimmer line anywhere, but a very competent performer at a reasonable cost.

It's pretty tough. I only use it on a setting of 2 out of three, and it lasts a long time. At a setting of 3 however the Makita trimmer is so powerful that the line often breaks.

Much cheaper than buying spools it could last for years depending on use. String is thick and well built. Can be used on multiple machines not necessarily makita only.

When a shoulder surgery made it impossible to start a gasoline-powered string trimmer with which I used 0.095 inch multi-edged line or a blade, I decided on a Makita string trimmer primarily because I have multiple batteries that fit it. Having enjoyed the performance of the thicker line, I wasn’t sure how well this would work. The string trimmer came with a small supply of this line, which worked very well on many weeds, with remarkable durability when used against smooth concrete. It feeds well and has only struggled against woody vegetation or rough concrete edges, as found with cinder blocks. It seems to work better than the thicker line when clearing vegetation from under chain link fences. I did not expect this to work as well as it does, its overall performance has been surprisingly good.

Starting with where this really shines, it cuts clean and smooth like a razor! For a typical yard with grass, this line will really shine and make your job look great. Where it falls flat for me is strength. We have a lot of pavers and fence that can eat trimmer line which is why I'm *not* dropping the rating below 3 stars but we're going through this stuff like crazy. I've had very cheap line that holds up much better.

String works great and easy install into my Makita trimmer. I thought the price was a bit high but, the string ended up being much more durable than I imagined. I'll probably have this roll for years to come! For for the use I'll be getting out of the roll, it's very, very good value. My yard takes me about two full batteries to complete trimming. Maybe a little more...

Excellent product the round twist line! Too bad Home Depot Canada doesn't carry it.
