The ADK one is doing great, rated for 2.7mm line - I am spooling up 3.0mm round & square.

I haven't tried the TEMU one yet.

Warning, they seem to come with M10x1.25 LH threading.

Looks like the heads that come with an Oleo-Mac.

Yes, maples have some role models I have one orange one myself

Use it in Your 3D printer and get square now!

That is why I prefer smaller line spools, it is used up and gone faster if I don't like the line.

Yeh, I'll never buy a big spool again.

I have nothing against a large Stihl spool the largest one will last for 20 years

Square 2.4mm (flat to flat), about 3.4mm corner to corner.

What brand of line?

 

[Wilhelm]

What brand of line?

You wouldn't know it!

"Iskra" Slovenia, but Made in China.
It can be had in round & true square profile, 2.4mm, 2.7mm & 3.0mm gauge.
It is very stiff line.

Whenever I was a kid we used to use long line fishing monofilament in 2.5 millimeter. It worked just fine and it was cheap.

I tried out this line yesterday and I really like it. It cuts like a pair of scissors and is totally quiet when it's swinging through the air. It's x-shaped but twisted.

See if I can't find some of this tomorrow.

That is like the blue Dolmar square-twisted line I have - no sound, sharp like a razor blade!

I really like all the twisted lines.

I know this might not be the right spot for this thread but I am not sure exactly where to put it. I am sick of dealing with junk string trimmer heads. I have a Stihl FS130, FS350, and FS550 that I want to be able to use string heads on. Yes I know the 550 is best suited to a blade which is fine but I still need a damn good string head for the others. I have a Stihl 26-2 head on the FS130 now but the thing keeps jamming, even with .095. I am cutting heavy grass and small broadleaves. I am so sick of spending time tearing it apart. There is no way that is what folks that do landscaping for a business have to go through all day. I should be able to go through 100ft or more of line without issue. Of course that is with refills. What are others using?

25-2 and 27-2 have always worked great fir me with .105 string

We've been running this line for quite a while, it's noticeably better than any of the assortment our dealer sells. You can get it a size bigger too.

 

[SawAddictedFarmer]

The head we have looks the same as the 27 2 but it has a metal cap. I'm not seeing it on the Stihl website...? It came out of the Stihl box at our dealer and was listed for the fs111.

I'm testing a 3.5mm line for hanging laundry I bought a coil for Husky 153, test tomorrow
