"Stihl introduced the AK system some years after the AP system, which to be fair wasn't really selling in the numbers they might have hoped at the time, the idea presumably to kick start sales with a less expensive battery range, can't blame them for…"

"I think that just meant they trained in tractor driving rather than owning an actual tractor! Got a 2 year old boy myself and have had to sacrifice some jobs and fit the others in when I can (all very local). On occasional days he is ill then cannot…"

"If they are only small areas could you use edging shears? We do and there is something rather therapeutic with going back to basics ! You need to buy CK or similar and spend upwards of £60 for decent ones that stay sharp."
"Thank you Sean,that's all I needed to know,just felt a bit peculiar having never used a sprayer that way...really surprised CP haven't done something to alleviate the problem...bought a Matabi Evo sprayer recently and far prefer it to the CP…"
"Hi your FSA60R is on the AK battery system? I use the AP system Stihl FSA85 which is just the ticket for the jobs you describe. Which offers infinitely variable speeds from barely turning, upwards. Mine must be about 10 to 15 years old now ( I have…"
I am looking for a small, compact, lightweight strimmer that is battery powered for small garden edging - I already have a Stihl FSA60R but its just a bit to powerful and unweldy for some of the smaller, finnicky edging. The strimmer MUST have…
