Default What size string for a string trimmer?

Somewhere I got the idea that each string trimmer was designed for a
certain diameterr, but I have two on which I can find no
recommendation. *Maybe on one it was scuffed off when it was hit on
the ground to feed more string, but I don't think so.

Is there a problem using string too thin? *Or too thick? * How do I
know what to use? *

Thanks.

(I'm either planning for next year or late for last year.)


The more owerfulll the unit the thicker the string, my gas Echo it
might be .130, its not auto fed, my Sthil if I use thicker than stated
it wont feed, thicker string lasts longer instead of breaking all the
time and wasting string but you can only use it so thick , then it
wont feed right
