Review of the Week: Finding the Best 3mm Trimmer Line – Setafi

Fishing line is a consumable in the summer-autumn season. Mow the grass, cut the bushes. And over time, less and less material remains in the coil. In order to save more money but buy good line, we have put together some tips on what is the best trimmer line in the 3mm category. Let's get started!

Is it necessary to select the shape of the fishing line on the lawn mower

In the store you can find options for plastic wire from different colors to formats. The most common forms include the following:

• Round - the most popular because of its inexpensive cost. Suitable for braids of any format: both electric and gasoline. You can mow with such a wire both fresh grass and dried shrubs. If you want to mow small grass on the lawn, we do not recommend it. It's all about the principle of the trimmer line. She does not mow the greenery, but directly “tears” it, and the gaps begin to turn yellow. You don’t want to get dead wood by the middle of summer, do you?

• Line with a square section. This option is the sharpest, so it copes with dry weeds better than others. It is recommended to install on medium-sized lawn mowers, as well as if you have a large area. For other purposes - an inefficient waste of money.
• Five-pointed - works on dry and fresh grass, shrubs. The disadvantage is severe wear (it may accidentally break off ahead of schedule). It is also the most expensive option in the segment.
• Triangle - for a neat cut. Perfect for a young lawn.

These are the main cuts. If you like "exotic", then you can look at a few more options, for example:

• Of the 4 petals - it is rare in the strip of Russia, but it is considered universal, like the round one. Weeds, weeds or young shoots - she is not afraid of anything. Also, after mowing the lawn with such a fishing line, the grass grows more evenly.
• Multifaceted - used to remove large weeds.
• Oval - against burdock and other fleshy weeds. You can find a similar section option in professional lawn mowers.
• Square spiral - a mixture of round and square wire. The disadvantage of this option is that sometimes you have to stop the reel during operation in order to straighten the line. Stops when mowing.
• Fishing line with reinforced particles - consists of several components.

The last option is a great way to equip your trimmer with 3mm line. The wire has a metal core and a plastic winding. It can have any of the presented sections. It differs from the rest in almost indestructible properties. Mow at least grass, at least hay. The maximum diameter of the cut trunk is 3 cm!

What material is it worth choosing a forestry consumable

The most popular and at the same time inexpensive are nylon fishing lines (or polypropylene). The option is durable and lightweight. Polyethylene may be added to some products. This is done to reduce production costs. We do not recommend taking these. If you really need a strong fishing line - why save.

An analogue for plastic fishing line is a metal cable. A variant exists, but is highly discouraged due to several properties:

• The service life of the scythe is reduced, as the metal breaks structural details over time.
• Rope elements can fly off anywhere.

So you can get not only a bruise or a cut. The cable cuts everything in a row, it is difficult to stop it - do not even try to try to mow with such "nonsense"!

Choosing a wire for the type of work

There is a division into several groups - how and where we are going to work with fishing line:

• Weekly maintenance of home lawns or gardens;
• Planned mowing of the site;
• Restoration of an abandoned area, mowing after a long downtime (where weeds are already a meter long).

For the first option, you can take a fishing line with cutting edges or any other universal option. In the next two variations, any curly line is suitable - it wins over a round one in terms of cut quality and aerodynamics. Remember the disadvantage - the rapid wear of components.

Now you know what material and section it is worth taking a 3 mm fishing line for your trimmer. Leave comments with your recommendations for readers. Have a nice day!
