What size string? My B&amp;D uses .06, I want a heavier nylon string.

The line size is 0.065 in. The model number for the Auto-Feed Trimmer Line Spools is AF-100.

Yes, they do tell you what size string to use (.065" diameter). They also have instructions and a diagram showing how to replace the string on the spool. Unfortunately, neither is very clear, so it's best just to look carefully at how the string and spool fit before taking it out. It's actually not that difficult even without the instructions.

Well, I use D'Addario Phosphor Bronze True Medium Gauge, but depending on how you play, you may want a heavier or lighter gauge.

We are using .095 string that is square, it lasts longer and does a better job.

It's the strength. The length and the thickness should be the same. Get the 80 lb string if you want more power

For a while I was purchasing the string that comes prepacked with the cartridge from Black and Decker, but that got expensive fast. So the last time I took the last piece of string that is attached to the cartridge and matched the thickness at Home Depot or Lowe's and I now reuse the same old cartridges, the trick is to remember wich way the string is rolled and how it's attached before you take the old remnant piece out. I'm in Mexico and can't remember the string number.

It was nice and tight for the 12 gauge, but the difference (.73 " Vs .66") may be two loose for your 16 gauge, I would contact MFG., and see what they recommend. they

The larger the needle the better for materials. Often something called a Jean/denim needle might be what you are looking for. But you didn't say what kind of heavy material. Yes it makes a difference. Heavy Pack Cloth nylon but with waterproof backing might infuence. Some nylons do better with a ball point head others need a sharper point. Many microfiber fabrics do best with a sharp point not ball because it can dull the needle quickly. So having mentioned that the 110/18 is the largest among this grouping offered. And the next down would be 100/16. I use the 90/14 pretty much standard across the board for the type of heavy duty sewing I often do. I sew with lots of tapestry fabrics which can be very heavy some with extra backing I would go up one or two sizes. Denim does ok with ballpoints usually if all cotton. Some polyester blends do better with a sharp. Do not use sharps on knits I've had them cut some knits so bad it is like you cut right along with scissors through the fabric as you sewed leaving you with two pieces not a seam. Anyway the rule of thumb is larger for heavy fabric. I actually like a 20 and even larger but these can be hard to find. Hope it helps and good luck with your projects.

The 14-strand bowstring is 64-inch (model#7395) .... mounting on one arm and twisting the string before mounting on the other end will shorten the string to add a few pounds pressure. I do not recall where I found out the right length for my bow.

I have the same problem with mine.I stop and turn the head up and push the little button on the side of the head to get extra string out.I believe if they would put .080 string on the head instead of .065,it would help.It might not solve the auto-feed problem,but at least the string wouldn't break so often. Sorry,I couldn't help.

If you know how long the Horton string is supposed to be and the lengths match, go for it. If it doesn't work, sell it on Amazon! LOL

I use the 1816 with a traditional recurve at 38 lb draw. Get them cut to 29 " and put 100 grain points on. I shoot them off the shelf.

I don't know the gauge of the strings, but they are standard bass strings. The lowest (thickest) string is a B below the standard 4-string bass's E. BEADG

I really like the EXP 17's which are the same string as the 16 but in a medium gauge. The heavier gauge takes a little getting used to, and they are not recommended for all guitars (check with the manufacturer), but the increase in volume and authority of my sound I feel is well worth it. Btw- I just tried a set EXP19's and they are basically medium gauge tops with lights on the bottom. Not a bad idea really. A little easier on the fingers. By all means stick with the phosphor bronze for a mellow tone.

None - you shouldn't use that heavy of line in this lightweight reel.However, you could do what I do and use a braided line, which is much stronger than monofilament lines for the same diameter. I've got 6lb test Suffix braided line and it has a rated breaking strength of 20lbs, but the diameter of a typical 6lb test line (about the maximum diameter that should be used with this reel). The braided line costs 2-3x what a monofilament line would cost, but I figure it saved me much more than that in lost tackle, as I lost only two lures in a week's solid fishing and they both caught on the backside of heavy logs and frayed on the edge of the log.
