Ratings & Reviews for Shakespeare Ugly Twist 0.095-in x 230-ft Bulk reel Trimmer Line

Follow my guide

The line works pretty well. Don't let it get to short before you bump to extend. If you do you will be stopping to take the trimmer apart and restringing.

not the same quality as the solid - feeds bad

not the same quality as the solid - feeds bad - hard to feed or thread in my Atlas 80v, it breaks much more easily when doing fence line work. Using it with my 30cc Cub Cadet with a (knock off) pivotrim head, it seems to be okay. I have decided to go back to the solid yellow Shakespeare in .095 which fed fine and lasted longer. Hopefully it is of the same quality as the last roll.

Tough line with great useful packaging

Comes in a pkg that spins so you can meter out the amount of trimmer line you need and then dog it off on one of the convenient line holders while you make a saddle loop and push it up into the built-in cutter to cut the line. It’s very sharp and cuts like a hot knife through butta! ;) The line performance is better than most I’ve ever used and I don’t seem to have to tap it out quite as often as others I’ve used. I’m very pleased with it. Would recommend it highly. Not over priced either!

A cut above

convenient cutting tool as part of the assembly makes it simple to cut to correct length. no more searching around for something to cut the line with

Eats Weeds, cause weed eater

Backyard was overloaded with weeds and got a complaint from the city. The trimmer line was high enough quality to make the battery of my weedeater a bigger problem than the trim line which was great. 10/10

Tougher than plain trimmer line

It works well but I am hard on trimmers and trim line. I wish it would last a little longer but perhaps that is up to me and how close I get posts and wire fencing.

Stay Away

This is the worst string I have ever used save your money buy a pair of scissors. I have a relatively small yard with some wooden fence and chain link fence, I have never used more than one full head of string. First time I used this product I used three. It is horrible!!!!

This is by far the worst string I have ever tried to use. Being twisted the way it is, it will not release.

Ethics Issue? Diameter Appears to be Reduced

The trimmer line has the same bar code, identical product description of 0.095, and this is not the same product. The trimmer line on the right was bought last year. The one on the right appears to have a slightly larger diameter with slightly less twist in the line than the one on the left in the photo.

Great price for thick, strong trimmer wire

For the thickness and amount of wire, this is a great deal. Easily cut through tough stems and grasses at our farm.
