Harness is not as comfortable as would like it to be, but good for short runs in the yard.

I bought this as the FS40 was out of stock (which I already own) and need two strimmers for work. The extra reach on this is handy and performs just as well.

The FS55R is another great product from Stihl, not as noisy as expected but still very powerful. Easy to handle if you are a beginner.
