I have to "edge" against a railroad tie retaining wall. Will this work or will the string break? Currently using a hand clipper.

I have been using this to remove grass from railroad ties that I use for edging & the string has never broken. Good luck with your project!

I didnt like my worx trimmer because in order to get a nice clean edge you had to stay in one place too long then the trimmer would need to be recharged before I could finish the yard, and I dont have a large yard. The features sound good, the way you can position it and it is light weght. I ended up buying another trimmer from Sears. I was not happy with the worx trimmer. It is now a fixture in my garage.

I have used mine against a stone wall wirh no problem. I suggest you consider the 24V unit.

I used the trimmer once shortly after its arrival; I was very pleased with the results that I obtained against rock, railroad tie, and plastic landscape edging. I did not experience any problem with the trimmer head or its attachment.

The tool is ~ 1/4 wide. You could pull the tie at an angle but there would be limits. The length is not a problem, pull it tight by hand an then use the tool.

The crimper tightens to the right amount - not to tight not too loose. Wirecutters I imagine you would have to guess if you got it tight enough. Personally I wouldn't risk it - I mean you wouldn't want one of these connections to leak behind a wall or something.

I gave this item as a gift to my son. I asked him regarding your question and he said he doesn't think it is strong enough to cut thru cable that thick. Hope it helps.

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

I used a pair of wire cutters; if the ends get flat a bit, it doesn't impeed the performance of the rope at all. Once cut, you place the cap back on the end.

Hi Bill,I am no expert, nor have I used it on any mower other than my Poulan 22" mower, however, I did research your mower, and it uses the exact same cutting line configuration and size of line. So, yes, it will work. This line has six cutting edges, and as such, makes a distinct sound as it cuts through the air and vegetation. It does resist breaking, but like all line it does not like the hidden sharp edges of metal. I hope this helps. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

i havent cut barbed wire, but if anything will do it THIS tool will. the story goes that the owner of Leatherman is a notoriously a stickler about the cutter actually cutting. i think they test every tool they produce on a 16 penny nail. the cutting aspect of this tool is the real deal and you should feel confident that your horse wont have to wait long for you to get it out of a tangle after you try making a clean getaway from your cowboy bank robbery...

I know it sounds crazy, but I gently scrape the bristles across my chain link fence! Just swipe the bristles over the links while twisting the handle slightly as you swipe. The webs blow off the fence and the brush is clean! I realize not everyone has that type of fence, but I imagine any sort of fence would work. Maybe someone else can comment on that? Someone at my office said they just wipe it off in the grass. Brilliant!

I'd be concerned if you hang this tape that high. In very windy conditions it does break off a bit. You'd be spending money and it's possible that the tape may come undone or simply break. The only other thing I can come up with would be to get a long pvc pipe (or similar) and have your gardener pound it into the ground after you've tied long ribbons to the top (or even shove the pipe into the tree....?) We've stapled ours together around cactus arms so you might want to staple to the pipe itself to keep the tape from slipping. Good luck.

it would only be the same if the clippy-end were attached to something that is connected to the actual ground, aka "grounded." just clipping it to any piece of metal will only help w/ shock and/or static electricity, which is still good to do, but not as good as getting grounded.

The clip is strong. The most you might have to do is wrap some tape around the shaft if it's slick like stainless steel.

Haven't tried anything that thick. I think I would purchase a Bolt cutter. Sure to do the trick.

Not great.. it will eventually get through. . You're not going to find a handheld digger that will be good at cutting roots..

This is followup on a previous answer. This line is meant to be used on a walk-behind string trimmer, not a hand-held trimmer. Most of the hand-held trimmers use much lighter line. The 0.155" line would most likely be too heavy for a hand-held trimmer.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. Thus far, I have not experienced what you describe. In fact, I've been amazed at the cutting power of the line/string. Had some tough, tall, thatched patches of grass that the line cut right through without mishap of any kind. Sorry not to be of more assistance. You might consider calling the manufacturer to troubleshoot for any probable defects.
