Weed wacker - extending string life

[WinterDeere]

I use the Echo hand held trimmer with 0.95 line for normal lawn and light weed cutting. But for weeds with heavy stalks and other heavy uses, I get out my Echo wheeled trimmer that uses 1.55 diameter line. That thing is a beast. It has a Honda 4 cycle engine that makes short work of trimming heavy vegetation.

I'm hoping the 780 ft spool of .095 square line I bought for my Stihl will flow thru the new Speed Feed 400 head I just bought. The line isn't that expensive, less than the cost of the Speed Feed head, but I hate throwing away anything that's perfectly good and useable.

Any string size 0.95 or less I’ve used on the Echo speed feed head works fine.

.095 has been my std for decades
