Trimmers & Brushcutters

FROM TRIMMING LAWN EDGES TO CLEARING THICK OVERGROWTH

STIHL grass trimmers, brushcutters, and clearing saws are built to handle everything from routine lawn maintenance to demanding clearing jobs. Backed by decades of engineering and real-world performance, these tools are designed for durability, efficiency, and dependable results.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE: TRIMMERS, BRUSHCUTTERS, AND CLEARING SAWS

While grass trimmers, brushcutters, and clearing saws all operate on a similar principle—a motor driving a cutting attachment through a shaft—each is designed for different levels of work.

With a variety of cutting attachments available, including mowing line heads, metal blades, and circular saw blades, these tools can tackle jobs ranging from trimming grass and edging to cutting back thick brush and overgrowth. The key difference comes down to power and intended use, with STIHL offering models across the full range to match the job at hand.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR EVERY CUTTING TASK

STIHL grass trimmers are a great choice for maintaining lawn edges and handling lighter trimming tasks around the yard. For tougher jobs, including tall grass and dense vegetation, STIHL brushcutters offer added power and versatility.

For the most demanding applications, STIHL clearing saws are the powerhouses among brushcutters and are especially designed for heavy-duty professional work. They are engineered for maximum comfort or designed to be comfortable to use even after hours of work in the forest or in landscaping. Across the lineup, STIHL trimmers are built for performance, durability, and ease of use—so you can take on a wide range of cutting tasks with confidence.
