Here, but occasionally There.
Like a couple of others, I've preferred those where a short strip of string is inserted into a hole in the head and tugged on to set it in place. Carrying about a dozen extra lengths of string and a pair of pliers and a small Phillips head screwdriver makes things easy, and one never has to walk back to the garage or shed for restringing the trimmer.

The pliers are to pull out any string left in the head after it breaks off and the screwdriver is for inserting into the hole, after removing the stub of string, to clear out anything left in the hole.

I actually considered using a small hi-tensile cutting cable we used to dehorn (saw 'em off) cattle years ago.

Not even sure they still make it, but it should last really well.

Just another thought.

I'm using Husqvarna titanium. I can weedeat my half acre including some brush along the pond and only have to bump it a time or two. I have sidewalk 360 degrees around my house, and running down the whole length of street. I do edge most of that, but a lot of areas where the grass is below the sidewalk, the fence and along the creek all get weedeated. I did a corner lot yesterday and the whole fence line is brick and concrete and I only had to bump the feed head once. Seems to do allright, I've only loaded the feed head in my echo trimmer once all summer, having started with what was left from last.
