Best 2mm strimmer line

Updated: October 2026

The basket has seven 2.0 mm reels, the stars run from 4.4 to 4.6, and two of the titles say heavy duty. You still need one packet for the head you already own. This page names who each reel is for, and who should leave it, using the diameter, the metres, and the pack printed on amazon.co.uk on 16 October 2026. Prices and the score table stay on the [2 mm trimmer line comparison](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/trimmer-line-2mm). The method, including colour codes, is on the [2mm strimmer line buying guide](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/trimmer-line-2mm/sub/trimmer-line-2mm-buying-guide). The editorial team updated this on 16 October 2026 from those listings. There is no laboratory cut test. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What best means in this set

Best here means a 2.0 mm reel whose length agrees with itself, whose shape is named when the eyelet needs a name, and whose reviews are about that line. It does not mean the highest star row. Viabrico is 4.6 from 7,333 ratings and the metre count is disputed. FEPITO is 4.5 from 7,661 ratings, and one UK review in that pool describes a 1.6 mm reel. The comparison marks Oregon part 69-358-Y as the top pick and Zeqeey’s 150 m spool as the best value. Those labels are not a lab result. DeWalt 2 mm line, Oregon Star, and STIHL CF3 are outside this table. If your manual is not 2.0 mm, none of the seven is the right buy.

Short packs, £3.59 to £6.99

Oregon 69-356-Y is round yellow line, 15 m, £3.59, about 24p a metre, with a one-year warranty. It suits a light trim on a head that already takes 2.0 mm round line. Leave it if you cut often. A gravel edge, as a rule of thumb, can empty 15 m. SOL 700151SOL is two green 20 m packs, 40 m, £5.99, about 15p a metre. Shape and polymer are not stated, and a 10,000 RPM field sits on a reel, which has no motor. Take it when you want more than 15 m and the packet does not need to say round or square. Leave it if the eyelet needs a named profile. Oregon 800002, the Silencio card, is round 15 m at £6.99, about 47p a metre. The bullets claim particle-filled nylon and Oregon’s own runtime and noise percentages. Leave it when you want metres. The plain 15 m card is less than half the price for the same stated diameter.

Long reels, £8.99 to £16.07

FEPITO is round green line stated as 2.0 mm by 100 m, £8.99, about 9p a metre if that gauge arrives. It arrives as a loose hank, with no model number. Leave it if you will not rewind a hank, or if the 7,661 ratings must be about 2.0 mm only. The 1.6 mm description in the pool is why the best-value label does not sit here. Zeqeey 3406130101 is the best value: round 2.0 mm by 150 m, also printed as 492 ft, £14.99, about 10p a metre. The two length figures agree. Leave it if you need a named Oregon part or a file that is only UK opinion. Oregon 69-358-Y is the top pick: round yellow 2.0 mm, 127 m, unit count 126.98 m, £16.07, about 13p a metre, 4.6 from 4,712 reviews, and a one-year warranty. One review says it breaks easily. Leave it for a single short job the £3.59 card covers.

The square reel with a disputed length

Viabrico US-080in-1.35LB is the square orange reel, £11.99, 4.6 from 7,333 ratings. The bullet, the title, and a UK review do not agree on length, so there is no firm pence per metre. Reviewers praise the cut and call it hard to load. A STIHL 36 V owner said square was the maximum that head would take. Leave it if you need a known metre count, if the head is published for round line only, or if a small machine already runs hot. Square is not a free upgrade on a round eyelet. The profile choice, including STIHL’s cruciform CF3, which is not in this amazon set, is on round vs square strimmer line.

Common questions

Which 2 mm line should I buy if I only edge a small garden?
Oregon 69-356-Y at £3.59 for 15 m of round yellow line, with a named part and a one-year warranty. The rate is about 24p a metre, so it is the wrong card if that edge is a weekly job.
Is the highest star rating the best reel?
No. Viabrico’s 4.6 and FEPITO’s 4.5 sit on files that do not clearly describe one 2.0 mm length. The top pick is Oregon 69-358-Y because the part, the 127 m length, and the warranty agree. Zeqeey is 4.4 and is the best value on pence per metre.
Why is 15 m of Silencio dearer per metre than 15 m of plain Oregon?
Both are round 2.0 mm and both are 15 m. Plain Oregon 69-356-Y is £3.59, about 24p a metre. Silencio part 800002 is £6.99, about 47p a metre, for a particle-filled line and Oregon’s own runtime and noise claims. Those claims are not an independent test.
Is FEPITO’s 4.5 from 7,661 ratings all about 2.0 mm?
The title says 2.0 mm by 100 m. One UK review under the same star pool describes a 1.6 mm FEPITO reel. Treat the 7,661 as a mixed file until the packet in your hand prints 2.0 mm. That is why the hank is not the best value.
Can I trust Viabrico’s metre count?
Not from this extract. The bullet, the title, a UK review of about 390 m, and a 730 g weight do not settle. Buy it only if your head allows square 2.0 mm and you can accept that the length is unsettled.
Does SOL count as round or square?
The extract does not say. It states 2 mm heavy-duty wire in two 20 m packs. Leave it if you need a named profile for the eyelet. Do not paste Oregon’s round description or Viabrico’s square description onto SOL.
