Pre-Holiday Gift Guide: Our Top Three Stihl Products

11/8/2022

We know, we know…it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. But why not get a head start when thinking about gifts for your favorite hard-working person?! Our Shoppa’s locations in Liberty, Bay City, East Bernard, El Campo, Victoria and Beaumont all carry the Stihl line of equipment, so we quizzed our parts experts for their top three best sellers. Here’s what they said:

Stihl MS 171 Chainsaw

If you’re looking for a lightweight chainsaw designed for woodcutting tasks around the home, the Stihl MS 171 chainsaw is where it’s at. The MS 171 is a compact, powerful tool that makes easy work of chopping firewood or trimming branches. It’s gas-powered but features reduced emissions technology, which saves on fuel costs AND reduces exhaust emissions. Weighing in at 9.5 pounds with a 16-inch bar, you’ll be able to get your work done as comfortably as possible with Stihl’s anti-vibration system.

Stihl FS 56 RC-E Trimmer

This gas-powered trimmer is a fan favorite for a reason: It’s lightweight, easy to start and packs a powerful performance against weeds! The Stihl FS 56 RC-E Trimmer features a straight shaft, upright fuel tank and an AutoCut® cutting head. It also has Easy2Start™ technology, which makes starting the engine a breeze. You don’t have to pull the starter rope fast or hard – a nice, even pull with just two fingers will get it up and running and ready to work. Weighing 10.6 pounds and sporting a cutting width of 16.5 inches, it’s easy to see why the FS 56 RC-E trimmer is a top seller.

Stihl BG 50 Gas-Powered Handheld Blower

When it’s time to clean and tidy up your property, the Stihl BG 50 blower is Shoppa’s top choice. As the most lightweight handheld blower in the Stihl lineup (only 7.9 pounds!), the BG 50 packs a blowing force of 13 Newtons, landing it solidly in the mid-range for power among Stihl’s handheld blowers. Its gasoline-powered engine is fuel-efficient and situated upright for easier filling. So if you’re looking for a reasonably-priced, compact and easy-to-use tool to clean up leaves and yard clippings, the BG 50 blower has you covered.
