Features:

  • Powerful Low Exhaust Emission Engine - A powerful low exhaust emission engine saves users fuel and operating costs without losing the power they count on to get the job done.
  • STIHL ElastoStart™ - The ElastoStart™ starter handle is a feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart™ starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.
  • TapAction™ AUTOCUT® Cutting Head - TapAction™ allows users to adjust the line length simply by tapping the cutting head against the ground.
  • IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor - The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor measures the air pressure on the clean side of the air filter and adjusts the metering diaphragm in the carburetor. This keeps the RPM at a consistent level, even when the air filter begins to clog.
  • Loop Handle - A thumb screw allows the ergonomic loop handle to be easily adjusted to the desired position without tools.
  • Anti-Vibration System - STIHL has a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
  • Multi-Function Control Handle - Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
  • Semi-Automatic Choke Lever - The semi-automatic choke lever enables the simplified three-step start procedure, saving users time and allowing them to start jobs faster.
  • Simplified Starting Procedure - To get started, users simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke, and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the "start" setting. The tool will be ready to start again when the user is ready to get back to work.
  • Vertical Pleated Paper Air Filter - Thanks to better air filtration due to its greater surface area, the vertical pleated paper air filter can extend the time between servicing.
  • Air Filter Cover - Easily remove the cover for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
  • Protected or Enclosed Control Cables - Dangling and loose wires are eliminated.
  • Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler - Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
  • Protected Spark Plug - The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
  • Protected Choke Lever/Knob - The choke is protected to help prevent damage.
  • High-Tech Polymer Housing - Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel-On-Steel Clutch - Centrifugal clutch is designed to reduce slippage.
  • Purge Pump Primer - By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
  • Upright Translucent Fuel Tank - Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
  • Fully-Lined Drive Shaft - A lined shaft provides smooth operation and less vibration.
  • Throttle Trigger Interlock - This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy

I have 2!
Color: Coal Black
My office is in my loft. But there are things along the wall I don’t want to look at. These work great. Hides what I don’t want to see & is a classy look in the room. Sturdy, easy to assemble, well made.
