Is there any reason not to use the toughest, longest lasting trimmer string one can find?
I'd become pretty unhappy with my trimmer as I was trying to clear some stone walls of vines and brush. Metal blades would invariably hit a stone, throw sparks, and set my teeth on edge; the hinged plastic blades wore out in minutes; and orange or black trimmer string wore out in seconds. The previous thread here about DR trimmers sent me over to the DR website, where I bought a spool of their blue string with a twist.
I had to drill out the trimmer head to accept the 175 mil diameter of the blue stuff. But it works, with each section lasting for a couple of hours working right up against the granite.
I have no connection with DR and I don't own any of their other products.
So my question is, is there anything wrong with using this string all the time, like trimming ordinary weeds or lawn grass? Haaving modified the trimmer head I will have to buy another, but I'd just as soon just keep using the blue stuff.
