hey lawn care nation so I'm back today with another long-term use review video
on a product that I've been using for the entire season of 2017 and that
product is the Echo Black Diamond trimmer line so do I like this product
well yes and no I'll explain coming up
hey guys so back in April 2017 I was invited to become a part of echoes UAG
program and to fly out to Chicago for the inaugural launch of the echo means
business.com website if you haven't checked out that website yet I would
urge you to do so it's a great resource if you're in the lawn and landscape
business or in the green industry as a whole I'll leave a link in the
description below if you want to check it out so as part of that program echo
sent me out a bunch of products for me to test and use and to give my feedback
on for you know being sort of a first-time user had never used echo
products before so as part of that they sent me out a spool of their Black
Diamond o .095 trimmer line as well as the Black Diamond point .105 trimmer line
so I used them day-to-day exclusively in my lawn care business for the entire
season of 2017 and so basically do I like this trimmer line well I found that
it performed equally as well as far as cutting the grass goes to what I was
previously using that you can see over my left shoulder there
the Oregon .095 Gator line so it did just as good of a job as far as the fit
and finish goes in cutting the lawn where I did find sort of a fault with
the Black Diamond a trimmer line that I didn't quite like
was that it seems to wear out a lot quicker than the Oregon Gator line the
Gator line is just very durable whether you're edging sidewalks or along
fence lines and stuff it just lasts a long time now in my business as you guys
know I have a limited amount of time that I can work each day because of
commitments with kids and taking them to school and picking them up after school
so I got to cram all of my business and all of my work and jobs that need to be
done in that limited amount of time each day so anything that slows me down
anything that you know I have to stop working for like refueling machines or
restringing trimmers really you know is something that gets on my nerves because
I you know I'm just go go go when I'm working constantly throughout the day so
you know a small advantage like having a trimmer line that lasts a long time is
huge for me and I prefer over say you know cutting results I would rather have
the line last a lot longer now keep in mind this is just trimmer line so your
results will vary depending on the types of grasses that you're doing you're
trimming style and you may not or may or may not see as much of a difference in
the cutting results as I did so like I said on the plus side the Black Diamond
trimmer line you know it had no issues going through tall overgrown grass it
did everything that I asked it to do as far as the trimming goes and I found
just on the negative side that it just did it seemed more brittle that it would
break if you were you know going against the fence line if I tried to do some
string edging of a sidewalk it would just wear out a lot faster now I also
found that you know when using the o95 trimmer line that this seemed
exaggerated that it wore out really really quickly compared to the Oregon
Gator line of the same size the .095 in fact you know this got so
wore out so quickly that I switched to the .105 now I had never used
trimmer line of this .105 size before I've never seen the need for it
but after switching to the .105 I found that it was then comparable to the
gator .095 size line as far as the wearing out goes I don't think it was
quite lasting as long as the Gator line .095 size for you know how far you
could trim without having to restring but it was certainly a lot better than
the .095 Black Diamond so I would say if you are looking to try the Black Diamond
trimmer line if you have a you know a good quality trimmer with a powerful
motor that can handle the larger string sizes I would definitely recommend using
the .105 line over the .095 in fact I probably wouldn't even recommend using
the .095 line just because you know it just wears out way too quickly for my
liking like I said your results may vary you know when checking other reviews
online you know I found that a lot of people using the .095 were perfectly
happy with it but for me compared to the oregon my you know what I've been using
for 12 years or so in my lawn care business like I say it for me I just
prefer a trimmer line that is longer lasting because the results as far as
the cutting are neglible you know when you're comparing it to round lines the
oregon Gator line is a square line so it does have that those sharp edges to
leave that clean cut and so you know my comparison between the two like I say
for me those were the results that I got you guys may have different results
depending on what you are previously using you know if you're just using like
the still orange trimmer line sort of the standard
stuff then the Black Diamond is surely gonna outperform that you know you're
gonna get better cutting and you know it's gonna last equally if not longer
than that as they're sort of a similar composition so that's it for this review
guys those are my thoughts on using the Black Diamond trimmer line over the long
haul over seven months every day day to day in my lawn care business so what do
