Featuring STIHL ErgoStart easy starting technology the FS 55 R-CE can be started with one easy pull. The loop handle provides better control when working in tight spaces.

This is the perfect weed eater for home or lifestyle block users where there is a range of vegetation to trim.

The FS 55 R-CE comes with a domestic 2-year warranty and you'll have access to ongoing service and support from your local STIHL SHOP.
