![]() If you want the FSA 57 to run for longer, you can use the larger AK20 or AK30 batteries. The only thing that the FSA 57 doesn’t have is a rotating head for trimming the edge of paths, which the cheaper Stihl FSA 45 (an integrated battery model) does have.Ĭompatible with AK batteries, Stihl recommends the AK10, since it provides a good compromise between weight and runtime. There’s a flip-down spacer guard at the front, which you can use to make sure that you don’t get the trimmer too close to your prized plants or flowers. You can adjust the length of the shaft to suit your height, and adjust the angle of the loop, too, so it’s easy to get the trimmer just right for you. Once you’ve grabbed the controls with one hand, and the handling loop with the other, the FSA 57 naturally leans up against your forearm providing good balance and control. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though: the FSA 56 was ergonomically brilliant, and so is the FSA 57. There are a few cosmetic differences on the outside – the head is more orange on the newer model, for example – and the new model is a touch heavier as well, at a still light 3.5kg (including battery).

It’s fair to say that the new Stihl FSA 57 Cordless Grass Trimmer is a welcome upgrade. The original Stihl FSA 56 was one of our favourite grass trimmers.
