I hope you enjoy it. I've had mine for 5 or 6 years. Starts easy and runs good. It's a bit uncomfortable for me to use though, not as ergonomic as it could be, but it's never given a minutes trouble so far.Local Stihl dealer had the FS56 on sale for $199.
He gave me the 4 year warranty knowing I wasn't a fan of their synthetic oil. Lol
Only the second Stihl product I own (have a 009 saw also).

How long are those Shinny scabbards?Bought a few things on eBay yesterday and today. The first is a lot of 5 very rare NOS Shindaiwa scabbards which came out to $32 shipped. The second is a Homelite 150 with good compression and a decal that’s different form most others and that came out to only $22 shipped. The final thing is a big lot of parts that I bought for the Shindaiwa weed trimmer powerhead that’s mixed in and that stuff came out to $50 shipped. I plan on reselling 1 of the Shindaiwa scabbards and all of the parts from the lot of stuff except the Shindaiwa weed whacker powerhead.
I have a FS 80 it’s over 20 years old, still works great , just replaced carb last year,I've owned one for 20 years. Lol
Never had a problem with it.
I bought 1 for $10 and used it to cut about 25 ricks of wood before I rebuilt it.
I have $80 each in the other 2.
Great saws for that kinda money.
Lol. I like the 3300 saws.@ammoaddict
Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Poulan 3300's Saws.
It's my first Stihl weedeater.
Boss has a fs70 & I like it A LOT.
He also has a 85 & 91 & I'm not a fan of those two.
The Echoes have gotten too expensive for my taste.
FS 56 has a fully adjustable carb which was a requirement for me also.
You might want to let them know it's defective.I bought a new 20' log chain from ebay for $38. It pulls fine but you can't push it at all.View attachment 415963
What I like most is when someone says that the hook is too big because it doesn't fit in the chain link I also have 8 meters a bit too many, but this is what I have left of 10I bought a new 20' log chain from ebay for $38. It pulls fine but you can't push it at all.View attachment 415963
They will have some brush blade kits next week, can't wait to try one to reclaim some of my land back that I have let go last several years. LolLol. I like the 3300 saws.
The fs56 is a popular machine.
I've got a 4 stroke stihl brush cutter I've had for several years. Never a single problem with it. Hopefully you'll like that trimmer.Local Stihl dealer had the FS56 on sale for $199.
