Save Time and Money with Environmentally Responsible Grass Trimmers

VIRGINIA BEACH , VA – The new FSA 65 and FSA 85 grass trimmers, the latest products available for the 36-volt STIHL Lithium-Ion battery technology system, deliver fuel savings, time savings and environmental benefits for gasoline-free trimming applications. Eliminating fuel costs and engine exhaust emissions, the easy-to-use STIHL FSA 65 and FSA 85 grass trimmers offer users another way to reduce their impact on the environment. With this new technology, there is no more fuel mixing, no power cords, and greatly reduced engine maintenance. Plus, high cutting speeds allow the user to complete trimming tasks quickly.

The STIHL FSA 65 and FSA 85 run at full speed until the battery is depleted, with no gradual drop in power as with other battery technologies. Designed for user comfort, the FSA 65 and FSA 85 are lightweight with excellent balance and low vibration. And starting could not be more simple – just pull the trigger.

Both trimmers have a convenient on-board hanging slot that allows for easy storage, as well as a loop handle that adjusts without the use of tools.
