    Originally ordered way back in August 2021 but it wasn’t delivered until February 2022 so only 4 stars!
    Not Radmore and Tucker’s fault; like so much else, covid messed up production.
    Glad I waited, the FSA86R is exactly what I need for taming a fairly rough big area of garden and scrub with no trouble. It’s quiet (unlike the noisy smelly petrol one the people down the road use:hint if you’re reading this…), but powerful and feels very solid, like the hedgetrimmer and polesaw from the same 8x range. It’s not the lightest but hopefully that means it’s going to last. Reasonably balanced with the AP200 battery. The 3 lever power switch I find clumsier than the previous 2 lock type but it’s ok. Good service by Radmore and Tucker – as we live not far they delivered it themselves; it’s good to know there’s an actual workshop with knowledgeable staff not far away rather than just a box shifter.

    Delivered next day by companies own driver. Well made; as you expect from Stihl; quality product and easy to use.

    Radmore & Tucker – Great company, super efficient service, order, pay deliver, just what you need, no fuss, no bother, just good service
    Stihl strimmer – Great bit of kit, nicely balanced, efficient stimming, Very ergonomic, feels great in your hands, no vibration and quite quiet to, just does what you expect of it.
    I already had the batteries & charger from the hedgetrimmer. I bount the fast charger but the batteries last so long I didn’t need them but reasuring to know your replacement battery will be charged in 30 – 45 mins,

    Very nice strimmer! Feels solid, cuts efficiently, and surprising affordable given that I’m sharing a battery and charger with a Stihl hedge trimmer. When I ordered this item it was apparently in stock, but R & T had to wait for fresh stock from Stihl. I wish I’d just got in the car and bought it over the counter. That was frustrating, but R & T were helpful explaining the situation in multiple phone calls. Stihl supply safety glasses. Always be sure to wear these or equivalent safety glasses because this is a powerful bit of kit!
