Stihl has a great selection of string trimmers (a great selection of everything) in their arsenal. What sets their string trimmers apart?

• The clutch is a 'metal on metal' not 'metal on brake material'. This makes them much more resilient, especially if you ever want to put a blade on one.

• They can take many of the Kombi attachments!

• The FourMix engine is used on the commercial units, which creates a lot of torque, is better on fuel, and is quieter too.

• Stihl makes their own resilient easy to load, and fix, trimmer head.

STIHL is the #1 Selling Brand

of Handheld Outdoor Power Equipment in America. "Number one selling brand" is based on syndicated Irwin Broh Research (commercial landscapers) as well as independent consumer research of 2009-2011 U.S. sales and market share data for the gasoline-powered handheld outdoor power equipment category combined sales to consumers and commercial landscapers.

Redmax string trimmers are popular in our shop as well, for these reasons:

• Redmax engines are very resilient
• They use stratocharged engines that help reduce fuel usage and pollution
• Low vibration loop handlebar
• Redmax makes their own trimmer head that is easy to load and replace parts as needed.
• RedMax trimmers include solid-steel drive shafts that are splined on both ends. This reduces vibration and improves acceleration, creating a much higher load-carrying capacity. The result is an efficient, low-friction, smooth-running machine that is comfortable to use.
