The FSA 60 R is a lightweight but powerful cordless grass trimmer in the STIHL AK System of battery tools.

It makes it easy to trim lawn edges, or around trees and other obstacles in no time using an AutoCut C 6-2 mowing head with nylon line, although the mowing head can be changed easily without tools too.

It has an aluminium shaft, an easy-to-use operating handle and a loop handle on the shaft which can be moved up or down the shaft to make controlling the grass trimmer a breeze. It also comes with a metal spacer bracket, which can be folded down to help avoid damage to trees or obstacles.

With the recommended AK 20 battery, you get up to 30 minutes of working time, but you can also swap to the PolyCut 6-2 mowing head which uses our polymer cutting blades and gives a longer working time of up to 40 minutes, or a DuroCut 5-2 mowing head which uses serrated line pieces and is ideal for trimming denser grass or even light scrub (the PolyCut 6-2 and DuroCut 5-2 are not supplied with the machine but are both available as additional accessories).

The FSA 60 R is quiet in use so there's no need to wear ear defenders and the batteries are interchangeable with all of the other tools in the AK System too, including chainsaws, hedge trimmers, lawn mowers, blowers and a scarifier.

• Run time on recommended AK 20 battery: Up to 30 minutes with nylon mowing head
