He said that he likes the combination of both, the Stihl for the thicker stuff, the shindy for the finer stuff.
I only have shindy which I have been very happy with for many years.
My only wish being that the shindy being able to cut through slightly thicker stuff .
Im considering purchasing the Stihl for the sole purpose of cutting through the middle of the tops of larger hedges.
Ive picked up a Stihl before which felt considerably heavier & in my op not as well balanced.
Anyone used both & have an opinion ?
Cheers Fred.
