    I bought this strimmer 6 months ago and I am fed up with it, it always takes at least 50 pulls to get going and some days I just give up and get my old electric one out, I was a gardener for 5 years and never had a problem with a petrol strimmer but this is rubbish! My old FS42 was great but I will never buy Stihl again after this.

    The Stihl FS38 Strimmer is a strong strimmer for its size. It is very much a small property strimmer and should not be used for large contract. It can not be used then thrown in the back of the shed for the winter. Let it run out of fuel when it is supposed to be left for a long period of time as two stroke fuel "goes off" in the carburettor after a month.

    Overall this is a very impressive trimmer. Don't let the small number of CCs in the engine fool you. The machine has plenty of power to get through the thickest grass and weeds (and even some small trees). Once it gets warmed up it cuts like something crazy! I gave a friend of mine a lend of it as well and he claimed the same thing.The only downside I see is that the unit is almost too short for me. After using it for a while I found my back did start to get a little tired. Other than that - exc ...
