Features We Like

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

PERFECT. A+++ PURCHASE THANK YOU MOWERS2GO

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.
In-Store Customer (verified owner) –
Surprisingly lightweight but still feels robust. Happy with my purchase
In-Store Customer (verified owner) –
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.
