You cant put sqare like in tanaka heads{AlOW} I mean you can but its a Beeatch you have to get after market heads cheaper to..

We are currently using 2.7 diamond edge and seems good but haven't really tried any other brands.. How does it compare to the trial blazer round line?

Not true! Just have to pull the line through the holes, not through the slot.

I run 3.3mm Diamond Edge on everything. In fact, I found that thinner line can come through the slot if you hit a stick or what ever. Then end up with a mess.

You got it all wrong there man $24 for after market head with a 4mm slot, the 3.3 square fits beautiyful...

I dont want it coming through the slots! The 3.3 line does not fit through the slots on the Tanaka head, and Im happy about that!

With 3.9 line on a 45cc you may as just well use a chainsaw

i use the aftermarket heads too, great with 3.3, get about 12 months out of a head

If you're considering Maxi core 2.7mm instead, don't bother in my opinion, sure you'll save $20 for the roll but the diamond edge cuts way way better.

p.s. I use square stuff not sure about round chord.

the worst I've used is Stihl line, black coloured 2.7 from memory

[SouthCoast Walker]

The Orange Stihl 2.4mm is awesome for normal work, I purchased some red stihl 2.7mm and its nowhere near as good.

Got some maxi core 2.4mm it works ok for the price.

Best stuff I have used was a square black string about 4mm, it was on a 2nd hand machine I purchased so don't know what it was, but was the best I have used for slashing.

We are pretty happy with the 2.7mm diamond edge but i just wondered if it was worthwhile trying out the green round trailblazer instead. I watched an ad for it:
http://www.gaspares.com.au/TrimmerLine%2030R1.mpg
and it mentions that trailblazer "makes breakages a thing of the past" and diamond edge has "greater cutting power"
just got me thinking would the round be better for regular use and diamond for rough stuff ? or same sh$% diff colour?!

how does that stack up against the diamond edge 63impala?

I use lightning square cord from ASP products. Made in France. Google ASP products. I use it in with a speed feed head and it is the best in my opinion. Some of the low noise stuff is good as well.
Don't buy the cheap stuff from bunnings it's a total waste of time and money.
