  • Our take on the Stihl FSA 80 R Battery-Powered String Trimmer

    The Stihl FSA 80 R is a 36 V cordless string trimmer built on Stihl's AK battery system, with a straight fixed shaft, a 38 cm cutting swath and dual-speed control. It sits above the lighter FSA 60 and below the AP-system FSA 90, so it suits homeowners with moderate yards who want more power than an entry trimmer without stepping into Stihl's professional line. The metal double-sided spool and 0.105-inch line handle light brush and seedlings up to about a quarter inch. Owners like the balance and quiet running; the main complaints are the fixed shaft length and that battery and charger are sold separately.

    Questions and answers

    Does the FSA 80 R come with a battery and charger?
    No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need an AK-system battery and a compatible charger separately. The AK 30 gives about 172 Wh of capacity.
    How does it compare with the FSA 60?
    The FSA 80 R has a wider 38 cm swath, dual-speed control and a metal spool, while the FSA 60 is lighter and simpler. The 80 R suits larger yards and light brush.
    Can it cut brush and small saplings?
    It handles light brush and seedlings up to about a quarter inch in diameter. It is not a replacement for a dedicated brushcutter with a metal blade.
    Is the shaft adjustable?
    No. The straight shaft is fixed at 1.78 m, so check the working height suits you before buying.
    Which batteries fit it?
    It uses Stihl's 36 V AK system. AP-system batteries from Stihl's professional tools do not fit.
    How long does charging take?
    With the AL 500 charger, an AK battery recharges in roughly 45 minutes. Charging time is longer with smaller chargers.
    Where is the Stihl FSA 80 R Battery-Powered String Trimmer cheapest?
    At Foard's, for $359.99, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Stihl FSA 80 R Battery-Powered String Trimmer?
