STIHL FSE 52 Electric Grass Trimmer (4816 011 4102)
The STIHL FSE 52 electric grass trimmer makes it easier to tidy lawn edges, trim around shrubs and finish small garden areas. Its 500W corded motor means there is no battery to recharge or petrol to mix, while the lightweight 2.2kg design helps you guide the cutting head around garden beds and paths.
Part number: 4816 011 4102 (48160114102). This is a mains-powered corded tool, not a battery trimmer.
