The boy is going to start doing some lawn work this summer, and his dad wanted him to start out with a good trimmer. I just finished selling a FS 55 ( the entry level straight shaft )this morning to a fellow and his 15 yo son.
#STIHL MULTI TOOL VS ECHO PAS HOW TO#
all the units are setup and test run, they filled it with gas, the dude spent a good 15 minutes w/ me on how to use it properly, and filled out and sent in the warranty card for me. if you need service later, you just need to go to an independent (which begs the question, why not just go to the independent to begin with).īut, when it came time to buy one myself, I got a stihl (forget which model the lowest price straight shaft). Do you think the FS80/90s have enough "umph" or do I need to look at the 110/130s?įWIW, when I worked at HD a few yrs back, the deal was they only sold 3 models of echo, and a local echo independent came in to set them up. I have always used a string trimmer for trimming and edging. I like the concept of of the KM tools, but I've been doing lawns since I was 16 and can't get used to a stick edger, so the versatility isn't an asset for me. I do have some reservations towards the Stihl 4-mix engines though.
The Echos are good units, but when every lawn service truck I see has Stihl or Shindiawa units on their racks, that says alot about the brand. If you want to multi task, take a look at Stihl's KM system of tools. Each is available in a loop handle version or a bike handle version, not sure which you want. Next time you go there, check to see how many chain saw chains have been installed backwards on the display saws!! :) That's a favorite pastime of mine lol Many Echos are sold in hardware stores like HD, by temporary workers who don't know much of anything about 2 cycle equipment( or anything else for that matter ). Typically, Stihl has a much better dealer network than Echo does.
