00:00If you've ever been halfway through knocking down a patch of weeds and your trimmer line snaps for
00:04the third time in 10 minutes, this one's for you. I went down a rabbit hole testing in comparing
00:09trimmer line replacements, and I found five that actually hold up against thick, woody stuff,
00:14plus I tracked down the best deals on every single one. Let's get into it.
00:19First up is the two-set core reinforced grass trimmer line, and this is the one I'd hand to
00:24most people. You get two spools, 10 meters each, so 20 meters total, and it comes in sizes from 2
00:30millimeters all the way up to 4. That reinforced core is the whole point, it's what keeps the line
00:36from shredding the second it kisses a fence post or a concrete edge. At 34.26 for the pair, you're
00:42set
00:42for the whole season, and with nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.7 rating, clearly I'm not the only
00:48one who
00:48noticed. Now if you're tired of respooling line altogether, take a look at the replacement steel
00:54wire trimmer head. This thing swaps onto cordless trimmers and electric weed eaters, and instead
00:59of nylon, you're running steel wire. Blackberry canes, saplings, that nasty overgrowth along the
01:05back fence, it just chews through it. 28.49, 4.6 stars, and honestly the biggest win here is the
01:12time you save not fighting with a tangled spool every 20 minutes. Number 3 is the TSES 15-meter steel
01:19core trimmer line, and this is the heavy-duty pick. It's nylon on the outside with an actual
01:24steel wire running through the center, so you get the cutting finish of standard line with way more
01:29backbone. It comes in that same 2-4mm range depending on your trimmer. 5079 is the priciest line on the
01:37list, but it's also got the highest rating of any line here at 4.8, and if you're clearing rough
01:42ground
01:42rather than trimming a tidy lawn, it earns it. Then there's the 3-pack of steel wire string trimmer heads,
01:48and look at that rating, 4.9. That's the best score on this entire list.
01:54You're getting 3 replacement heads for 27.49, which works out to about 9 bucks a head,
02:00and they fit most standard grass trimmers. Having spares in the shed is one of those
02:04things you don't appreciate until a head cracks mid-job on a Saturday and every store is closed.
02:10For under $30, that's cheap insurance. And rounding it out, the 2.7mm pentagram trimmer line,
02:17100m on a single roll. That 5-pointed star profile is the interesting bit,
02:22the sharp edges slice instead of just beating the grass down, so you get a cleaner cut and less
02:27fraying at the tip. 72.39 sounds steep until you do the math on 100m, this is the buy it
02:33once and
02:33forget about it option. 4.7 stars, and if you've got a big property, this is the smartest cost per
02:40meter
02:40on the list. All 5 of these are linked down in the description with the best prices I could find,
02:46so go grab whichever one fits your setup. If this saved you some frustration,

02:55Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
