Description
Product overview
The STIHL FS 56 RC-E combines useful petrol cutting power with the close control of a loop handle. It is designed for mowing grass around obstacles and in spaces where a bike-handle brushcutter may be less convenient, while the straight shaft provides good reach beneath shrubs and along banks.

Designed for the job
The FS 56 RC-E is particularly useful on uneven ground, banks and planted gardens where manoeuvrability is more important than the wide sweep of a bike handle. Its 2-MIX engine provides dependable output while using fuel efficiently for routine domestic clearance.
