We bought a small roll of just about everything else and are now back with the diamond edge again. Believe it or not trail blazer is second best, some others wore about 10 times faster than diamond edge and snapped all the time
Haven't tried that gatorline that has been mentioned lately though
I think geographical location/customer demographic has a lot to do with it. The bigger diameter line is obviously very good stuff, but contractors are pretty much expected to "sharp" edge lawns here as well as flat edging. The norm is 2.4 on regular cuts. I like 2.7, but I am the 1st to admit that my edges have a bigger "grove" around them than the guys who use 2.4, especially the fussy ones. There again, my line lasts me longer
Any bigger & I'd probably have a pretty ugly space between paths/kerbs/driveways.
On feral clean ups, or slashing jobs, well.......... that's a different story! The biggest line the clutch can handle!
Did you know that nylon has a high
moisture content and should be stored
in a cool place or left in a bucket of
water. Nylon, if left on spools or exposed
to direct sunlight, can go brittle VERY QUICKLY
MY SUGGESTION FOR TOP PERFORMANCE OUT OF ANY TRIMMER LINE IS TO LEAVE YOUR ROLL IN A BUCKET OF WATER AND TAKE WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE DAY .THIS WILL KEEP IT IN THE SAME STATE AS WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE EXTRUDER AT THE FACTORY .
I've actually been trying this over the last two weeks. All it seemed to do was make the line so soft that it wore out at twice the rate as usual. This is with green Trail-Blazer and the red Pro-Scape line. Both 2.7mm.
Has anyone seen this stuff? I got it in Japan and I will get the in-laws to send me some more over, it's very aggresive (the cord not my in-laws) and will bust poly water pipe if you're not careful. I found that out the hard way today.

Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

Any monofilament trimmer line can lose moisture over time or become brittle, especially if subjected to heat and sunlight. To reduce brittleness, OregonŽ strongly recommends that line be submerged in water for 24 hours.

That line looks hardcore! What head are you using with it?

found this on another site
Flexiblade is a super aggressive trimmer line designed to take on the toughest jobs. The patented cutting system is so aggressive, it will cut weed stocks up to 3/4" in diameter with ease. Serrated edges will even handle brambles and berry vines. This line will fit into most manual feed trimmer heads, but is not recommended for "bump feed" trimmers. Avoid contact with concrete, rocks and wood. The sharp teeth can damage trees, walls and fences.
and while it certainly looks great it's not cheap the best price i've seen on the net is about $us80 plus shipping for a 5lb roll and shipping with that weight is a killer i think somewhere in the $20-$40 mark

Yeah I've seen this stuff, I had it when I first started out it's full on! I couldn't find any to replace it and went to alloy heads, I think I threw the head for it out not long ago. It was alloy and was threaded one way with little locking devices. I used to say it'll tear right down to the bone. The head I had for it didn't have the black cone on it like in the video.
Just scored a 3lb roll of 3mm Maxicore Sharp of ebay for $18! Veddy Niiice!
