What is the best trimmer line...

Hello all

I have a craftsman high wheel trimmer. I am going through line like crazy. The line size is .155, what is the strongest best line on the market. Or do they make any type of whip blades for these trimmers?
Thanks All

Go to your local landscape supply they will tell you, what are you cutting that is eating up .155 line?

Some pretty thick over grown crap pretty much says it. I am looking at the Oregon 22-855 Magnum Gatorline Square String Trimmer Line.

Maybe a brushmower would be best suited for the job?

Trimmer line 0.155

I've got a couple of these trimmers and I use mine on heavy grass & weeds and don't have any problems going through line. Don't know what "heavy crap" means exactly, but it sounds like you might need one of the heavy duty brush cutters with a steel blade. The Oregon trimmer line should do the job nicely for anything these trimmers are designed for.

Thanks guys I am going to try the Oregon trimmer line. What I meant by heavy crap is mostly thick weeds with about 1/4 in thick stem. When I get it cut once I will be good. Thanks again for the suggestions.
