Stihl FS 56 CE Gas Trimmer

Product Review (submitted on September 24, 2017):

I recently wore out the drive clutch in my few year old "box store" 32cc trimmer. I was hesitant to go with the fs56 instead of the slightly larger, heavier duty fs91.. but after taking it straight home and putting it to work cutting brush filled ditches, I am very happy with its performance and the savings from its larger counterparts. To sum it up, the fs56 is a beast! I bought the brush blade along with it.. I was cutting through 1" and slightly larger cottonwood trees effortlessly. The light weight and handlebar grips made moving the trimmer around at all angles so much easier. No numbing vibration through handles to cause discomfort. And the easy start feature makes starting much simpler, no yanking on the rope. Definitely skip the "box store" trimmers and find a Stihl dealer, made in USA and you will get what you pay for! Superior product at affordable price!
