i really dislike stihl they seem to be a bitch to start after a year of use then have to get them serviced and have had the pull cords break
these weedeaters are a pain for me to even start , i have a craftsman its new and the string load is gay as hell you have to basically put in a new string everytime takes about 10 cranks, gonna take this one back and maybe get a huskavana or echo
