    Take back your driveways and sidewalks! To get the perfect curb appeal, you need to have your driveways and sidewalks cleaned up from the overgrowth. A nicely groomed house cannot be had without a properly edged property. There are many options out there from labor intensive manual trimmers, attachments for string trimmers, wheeled walk behind units, and then there are the dedicated straight shaft string trimmers like the FC110 from Stihl. Coming in at the top of the class, the Stihl FC110 is a perfect solution to clean up that pesky overgrowth.

    This is the unit we have used all day every day for 3 years now on 100+ lawns. It's a great unit. I will never go back to the 90.

      Go with their KombiSystem and grab the 131R. You'll never go back to the 110 or (now) 111R. It kicks more ass than Jet Li!

      I use the FS 56 RC with head attachment for weed eater and edger. Does a great job.

    I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

    It's 50/1 not 40/1, Stihl literally says all of their equipment is 50/1

    The stihl fc 110 lawn Edger is the fourth stihl four mix model to carry the number 110. The other three models are the stihl fs 110 bike handle Grass trimmer and brush cutter, the stihl km 110 r kombi system and the stihl fs 110 r loop handle Grass trimmer

    For the price, it's hard to justify. Yes I know Stihl is head and shoulders above practically anything else out on the market, but $500 is some serious cash for an edger. I do the exact same technique with my $50 craftsman edger attachment on my Toro power head, back and for several times until the edge is set. The sacrificial head piece is a nice idea. You might have included putting on a new blade in the video. Once I figured out the proper technique, changing the blade is about a 2 minute process. I also use a Stihl trimmer and just switch the head out when I use up the line, much faster than reloading when out and about.

      You can read a hand book all you like but its better to know why the handbook says what it says. 50:1 is so stihl can still sell 2 stroke engines due to EPA rules you can run more oil than 50:1 remember all these engines used to need 25:1. The oil is better but twice as good? You be the judge. Hand book also says congratulations on buying our product and a heap of other useless stuff.

      My whole drive way is one curve now and it works fine. It takes a bit more out of the ground because of the curve by works well.

      @amosk2416 2 роки тому

      Not sure why he does that style... Its possible to do a steady normal walking pace especially if you use oregon gator edger blades - then your 3 times the speed of a weed eater on slightly overgrown edges.

    • @lifeisgood070
      @lifeisgood070 6 років тому +4

      50:1 is a USA EPA rule. Personally wouldn't use it. Most small equipment functions better off 40:1 especially during the break-in period where you're not supposed to do full throttle for the first couple tanks. But to each his own.
