Legion Trimmer Line 3mm x 9m T522-3 – Nylon Whipper Snipper Line for Thick Grass and Weeds

Legion 3mm x 9m Nylon Trimmer Line

Legion Garden T522-3 Trimmer Line is a 3mm thick, 9m long nylon line for whipper snippers and brushcutters. The heavy 3mm gauge is made for tougher work, such as cutting thick grass, overgrown edges and stubborn weeds around fences, garden beds, trees and paths. The pack states it fits most popular trimmer brands, making it a handy refill for home gardens.

Why 3mm Line for Tough Jobs

Trimmer line comes in different thicknesses, and thicker line cuts harder. A 3mm line has more mass than the thinner lines used on small electric trimmers, so it carries more energy into each cut and wears down more slowly. That makes it well suited to long, thick or wiry grass such as kikuyu and couch runners, weedy fence lines, and edges that have been left to grow out.

Check Your Trimmer Takes 3mm

Before buying, check the line size your trimmer head accepts. This is usually listed in the trimmer's manual or printed on the trimmer head. Most petrol whipper snippers and brushcutters take 2.4mm to 3mm line or more, while many small electric and battery trimmers are designed for thinner line around 1.3mm to 2mm. Using line that is too thick for the head can stop it feeding properly and put extra strain on a smaller motor.

Enough for a Refill

The 9m length is enough to rewind most fixed-line or bump-feed heads, or to cut into several lengths for heads that take pre-cut pieces. It is a practical size to keep in the shed so you are not caught out halfway through a job when the line runs out.

Reloading and Using Trimmer Line

Switch the trimmer off and remove the spark plug lead or battery before working on the head. Follow your trimmer's manual to open the head and wind or fit the line, keeping it wound tightly and evenly in the direction marked on the spool so it feeds smoothly. Leave the ends at the length recommended for your trimmer guard. Soaking nylon line in water for a few hours before winding is an old trick that can make it more flexible and less prone to snapping. When trimming, let the tip of the line do the cutting rather than pushing the head into the grass, and keep it away from fences, rocks and tree trunks, which wear line quickly and can damage bark. Always wear eye protection, long pants and sturdy shoes.
