Strengths good weight to power ratio

Weaknesses the worst self feeding head I have ever used. It has to be tapped on the lawn continuously or it has no line exposed and has to be stopped and taken apart to get the line going. It is completely unusable.

Overall Worthless piece of junk

Strengths Lovely motor, strong.

Weaknesses I have had it for 18 months now and it has just blown it's 3rd coil and 4th throttle cable. coil. It's really unreliable and, like all Stihl products these days seems to be. The carburattors are rubish as well. Changing to Honda.

Overall

Strengths I'm a Stihl Dealer, I purchased an FS100 for myself for a few reasons. First is the 4-Mix power head. Its got loads of power! Secondly it feels nice and solid in your hands. Its not a cable driven trimmer, rather a hollow shaft. I've had it for about 4 months now and am very impressed what an improvment it is over my old stihl trimmer.

Weaknesses Since its a hollow shart model it won't take the pole pruner and other gearbox attachements. I did kinda second guess if I should not have spent the extra money for the FS110.

Overall Great product, one I feel good selling.
