Makita E-02705 Round Line 2.0 mm × 15 m
Makita's E-02705 round nylon line, 2.0 mm × 15 m — a short, cheap refill for small and mid-size electric and battery trimmers on lawns and edges.
In short:Makita E-02705 is 2.0 mm round nylon trimmer line, 15 m long, in green, made in France. Makita describes it as resistant to fraying, with high tensile strength and a high melting point, and compatible with most line trimmers. 2.0 mm suits many electric and 18V battery trimmers; 15 m covers a few refills, so it's ideal as a spare rather than for heavy users.

What it is
Makita’s E-02705 is a 15 m pack of 2.0 mm round nylon trimmer line, in green, made in France. Makita says it resists fraying, has high tensile strength and a high melting point, and suits most line trimmers. When we checked in October 2026 it was in stock from a third-party seller on Amazon.co.uk.
Which trimmers?
2.0 mm is a common size for many corded and 18V battery trimmers, including several Makita LXT models. Check your spool or manual: some small trimmers take 1.6 mm, and mid-size petrol machines usually want 2.4 mm or more. Our line size guide explains how to choose.
Is 15 m enough?
It’s a refill or two for a small head, which makes it a handy spare to keep in the shed. If you trim weekly through the season, a 100 m+ spool works out far cheaper per metre — see the best brush cutter line.
Tips
Wind line in the direction shown on the spool, keep the two ends equal, and soak nylon in water before winding if it’s become stiff. How to do it is covered in how to thread brush cutter line.
