The STIHL FS55R is a small tool compared to many other combustion engine brushcutters, which makes it particularly suitable for smaller jobs like clearing the edges of a garden, especially when traveling in tight spaces.
The lightness requires a simple and unique shoulder strap, it is a machine that is easily held even with the arms, in fact it is especially appreciated for its maneuverability. In confined spaces it is also comfortable thanks to the circular handle, which adapts to different grips and therefore lends itself to quick changes in working angles.
The quality of the mechanics and the ease of use are what the STIHL has accustomed us to: an electronic ignition system ensures easy starting, the two-stroke engine is light and relatively quiet, with moderate fuel consumption. It runs on mixed fuel.
The attachment is perfect for cutting grass on lawns, so it is typically used with a flush trimmer head as the cutting attachment, providing optimum performance. To tackle particularly dense grass, brambles or bushes and to work with a blade, it is better to choose more powerful models.
