Line Breaking Non-Stop? Do This Instead

Line Breaking Non-Stop? Do This Instead

If your trimmer line keeps snapping, you already know how the job goes.

Stop. Flip the whipper snipper over. Pull more line through. Start again.

Then it breaks again.

How to stop trimmer line breaking so often

Start with these three things:

1. Use the right line for the job

Thin, light-duty line gets chewed up quickly around:

  • concrete
  • kerbs
  • fences
  • retaining walls
  • thick grass
  • rough commercial sites

Use the correct diameter for your machine and workload.

2. Stop running old, brittle line

Dry or aged line can lose flexibility and snap more easily under impact.

3. Use line built for abrasion and impact

This is the big one.

Cheap line can disappear fast when it hits hard edges. Better line should flex under impact and resist premature wear.

Our recommendation

Our Nylon Trimmer Line series.


It is designed with the highest quality Nylon co-polymer in Italy to help reduce premature snapping and unnecessary line loss.

That means:

  • less stopping
  • less pulling line through
  • less wasted line
  • more time actually finishing the job

If you spend your day edging around concrete, kerbs and hard landscaping, spool price should not be your only consideration.

The real question is:

How long can you keep working before the line gives up?
