Weed wacker - extending string life

   / Weed wacker - extending string life #11  
The 3 rotating Stihl knives cut like butter but snap if contact made with old fence wire or rock…
Havnt had that issue with mine, and there pretty old.

But i do rend to use the metal blade more to cut thru the never ending saplings that pop up under fencing.

What would you experienced trimmer operators suggest for cutting back the "stuff" from the neighbors yard that grows thru the chain link fence that separates properties?
This is in Virginia where grass, vines, saplings, etc. have been growing fast.
Would one of those 3 plastic blade heads do well?
Herbicides are not permitted.
Trimmer of choice is my DeWalt Flexvolt.

Chain link fence (or any "ground" fence) will eat trimmer line by the reel..... Wed burner may be answer....

From:


"STIHL premium line will absorb 5% of its own weight in water. Trimmer line does tend to dry out over time and becomes more brittle. Storing it or soaking it in water will help reduce line breakage and make the line more flexible."

My last Stihl trimmer actually had it in the manual to soak the line before use
