Dick Warner –
Nice machine, does the job.
Mr Stihlman –
Bought as a replacement for our previous petrol strimmer. Had recently purchased the AK20 battery for the Stihl garden tools system. We have petrol Stihl chainsaws, pressure washers, petrol hedge cutters etc. for our business – despite adjusting the handle position, this machine gives Left forearm fatigue and left us with muscle shakes in both arms after using for 15 minutes – we both use the gym daily and are not wimps but we both experienced the same problem with the ergonomics/unbalanced design of this machine – if someone was hoping to use this as a lightweight machine to tidy a domestic garden – no chance, I would not recommend this.
Stewart White –
Excellent product
Roger Williams –
Terrific, thanks
Byron –
Little expensive but a good product, not sure date of manufacture but had to change strummer line before second use as it would not feed, after replacement it operates as it should. Does great job on lawn edge.
Hazel Woodbridge –
This is a sligtly more powerful version of a previous one and it seems to be very good and easy to handle ( i’m 76 year old lady)
Scott Bryan –
Very convenient that it uses the same battery as the lawnmower.
