Modern appearance, convenient operation and very simple starting procedure are the highlights of the new generation STIHL grass trimmer range.

You can put a metal blade on the Stihl FS56 and Stihl FS56R, but these are optional extras. If you are looking for a slightly cheaper option then you should consider the Stihl FS55 Brushcutter (Comes with strimmer head) or the Stihl FS70 C-E Brushcutter (Comes with Strimmer Head and Blade) for something slightly larger.

What else will I need to buy with my brushcutter?
- 2-Stroke Oil.
We advise STIHL MotoMix® which is Stihl’s patented premixed fuel, specially blended for ultimate performance.

Clean and convenient, MotoMix® eliminates the hassle of mixing your own 2-stroke engine fuel while providing superior performance and lubrication. STIHL MotoMix® contains no ethanol, allowing it to maintain stability for up to two years after the seal is broken – so it stays fresh in your equipment during long storage periods. MotoMix® is also made of non-aromatic fuel and fully synthetic, highly biodegradable engine oil.
- Additional strimmer line

The STIHL Durocut Head – Rather than struggling to re-wind the strimmer wire, simply pull out the old lines and put in the new ones. Saves time on re-filling the strimmer head. A metal blade is a great option for controlling thick undergrowth.
