Great Product, Reasonable Price

Would Recommend

Tough trimmer line for the price. I am so used to having to constantly feed line that I think I end up cutting off more myself than I lose whacking. The spool case is very handy as well for keeping the line under control as I load the trimmer spool.

Binds constantly.

Would Not Recommend

I spend my time taking the head off, unsticking the bound-up line, putting it back together, cut for 2 minutes, repeat.... endlessly. Stihl FS-40c. Yeah, they recommend round, but it worked fine with square so I tried this stuff. Waste of money for me.

Burn Through Quick & Jams Up

Would Not Recommend

After using for nearly a month, The amount of times ive had to refill my spool, or open the spool to fix it from getting jammed, is beyond frustrating. Thought going commercial was a better route.. apparently not with this brand.

Game changer on my Kobalt trimmer

Would Recommend

I needed to refill the line on my Kobalt 24v trimmer and decided to use up some line from and old trimmer (same size) Big mistake! that stuff ran off the spool like water. It went into the trash. I switched to this Shakespeare Twisted line and what a game changer. It works great and works just like the line that came with the trimmer. It's nice to have my trimmer back again.

Worst stuff I have ever used.

Would Not Recommend

The line I used previously to this lasted much longer than this stuff. My old line would do my front and back yards before replacing. This stuff lasts only a third of one of the yards if that. I am going back to a brand that has proved itself to me. As for the rest of the line, I threw it out.

Don’t be fooled by the high performnace rating

Would Not Recommend

I decided to give this one a try because of the high performance rating. I have never had to restring my weed eater this often before. Everytime I looked, it was out of string. 3 times in a 2 hour period. I’m using it on typical grass....not a rock mountain. I will be going backto my usual brand. This is the first review I have ever done but was so flustered with this product I had to say something.
