Hey Steve. This is undoubtably one of your best videos. For my upcoming 70th birthday, my wife bought me the HL-0 non-articulating attachment for my FS90-R grass trimmer. Said she was tired watching me climb up and down the ladder trimming our 120 foot long, 6 + foot high dense chinese elm hedge with an 18 inch blade trimmer. Had to do both sides of the hedge separately and could never get it quite even. Now with this extra reach and the 20 inch Stihl blade attached to my trimmer, both sides are done at the same time with the top and sides of the hedge finished in less than half the time than before. And, perfectly squared! Just a heads up, though. The non-articulating HL-0 blade engages about 10 centimetres shorter than the string trimmer head.(50 vs 60 cm). In your video you use the 145 degree articulated hedge trimmer cutter that fits exactly to the string head marking. Just an advice to other subscribers. Here in Toronto, the HL-0 is $250, while the articulated is $370. Thanks again, Steve for a truly informative hack. Regards to April.

We must protect this man at all costs...

The only thing I don't like about your videos is that I can't get myself to stop watching them. I've used just about everything imaginable with a small engine for years but learn something new and very useful everytime I watch.

Love the video. Just an FYI. There are currently only two separate types of splined shafts being used on the market today. One is a 5 mm SQUARE shaft, straight or curved doesn't matter. The other type is a 7 point STAR shaft, again straight or curved doesn't matter. In actuality, the brand does not matter & how it's powered, doesn't matter either. I took a GAS POWERED STIHL STRAIGHT SHAFT & attached it to my 18 V Ryobi cordless trimmer powerhead for combined extended total reach of 12 ft and it weighed approximately 20 pounds but it works like a beast with very little lag time between trigger to trimmer head! It plowed through thick brush and grass like no other!! if you want some pictures or a quick video just let me know? I'm a bit camera shy so I'll let you enjoy the limelight.

I was thinking I was the only other guy that figured out this hack. Well done!

That cat scared the bejeezus outta me at the end there! Great hack, Steve! I actually do a similar thing with my straight shaft trimmer. I have 2 gear heads for it; one with a string trimmer head installed and one with a brushcutter blade on it. It's _much_ simpler and takes much less time to swap gear heads (loosen/tighten a single bolt) than to swap over the equipment on a single gear head. Of course having 2 separate trimmers would be even easier, but It's a lot cheaper this way! Thanks!

Stihl does have a few models that have star drive shafts, but most are square drive. Many other brands use the same square drive, so you can use many of their heads as well.

This is awesome. My thoughts on this is that for someone like me who is their own mechanic, you could shop around for used old trimmers that need work that aren’t too hard to fix, then buy the at attatchments and you’de have as many fixed units as you need a discount because you can buy used ones that just need minor work

Steve a very late response and thank you from the UK. I bought the 135 string trimmer then later found about the scissor fitment which seems to be more precise when working near delicate items, I tried to research what you have suggested in your video, the UK Stihl distributer was unhelpfully vague when I asked, not a denial or a yes it is possible comment ! I had not found your channel at that point so I contacted Carls in North America who confirmed it would work, my order was placed straight away. I have a hedge trimmer with the telescopic extended handle but I feel the power head at the far end of the handle is underpowered compared with a power head down near the controls, I understand that because the need for a cable to connect to the adjustable head the size and weight of the power head need to be reduced giving the less than powerful impression. As soon as my finances recover I will be ordering the cutting head as shown in your video so thanks again.

Stihl sells just the gear head attachments without the shaft. It is an intended feature for fixed shafts.

As for price of attachments, bought a edger attachment for an old fs130r I brought back to life with your help, and dealer said they'd give me $20 off if I'd buy the kombi attachment and then give the pole part back. Told them I don't mess with kombi's, and that would work. Went to counter to pay, and the guy decided was too much trouble to take off, and said to just take it for free. Now I have the extra pole, in case I ever get a kombi unit. Like you said, don't throw away, never know when you might need it.

OMG! Thanks Steve! We got an FS91 a couple years ago (I take care of my aging parents 7 acres, needed something commercial, but they didn't have the extra at the time for the Kombi models.)

Hey Steve! Great video as usual! Thanks for helping people! I also have another similar hack I did for a friend of mine a couple of months ago with an Echo SRM-230 trimmer. He wanted an Echo PAS professional attachment system but didn't have $300.00 to spend for a new one. I ordered him a complete new upper shaft for a PAS which included the coupler for about $60.00-$70.00 USD. I swapped the new shaft for his straight trimmer shaft and he's managed to find a few of the attachments in used condition from places like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Of course you can always buy new attachments if you prefer. Cheers!

thanks Steve, I was thinking of buying a separate pole saw. Now I can just by the attachment, thanks for the hack. I wished you had a hack for my John Deere EZtrack 425 zero turn mower. My right side Transaxle was getting weak and would hardly move the mower. Turns out the transaxle in that model is "Service Free" which forced me to buy a new one and replace it. The transaxle cost $1,400 dollars for a new one OUCH!!. It was easy as heck to install (only one beer) but it still stings. The suggestion from our repair guys was to buy another used mower to harvest for parts. My mower is only 5 years old and having to buy a second one for part seems a bit extreme. Anyway, it's working now and I have to say you have saved me tons of money for the last year and gave me the confidence to change that Transaxle out and not pay someone to do it for me.

About 12 years ago my Stihl dealer sold me the straight shaft string trimmer. He must have known this at that time. I had insisted that I wonted one that I could change the tools out on the end of the shaft. I will thank him next time I go into his shop.

The Stihl police have been notified. You’re gonna do some serious time Steve. Stihl is not meant to be trifled with.

Stop the BS. It’s how they manufactured the thing. Nothing wrong here.

If they do show up just pull out a six pack of tall boys. 👍🏻

I knew these fitted directly as the standard long reach hedge trimmer is literally the trimmer you have but with a different model number. Those KM units have one terrible fault though and it's that plastic sleeve, it breaks so easily compared to other manufacturers combi systems.

Thanks for this video ! I have a kombi that's husqvarna and a Stihl brush cutter ! I put my husqvarna edger attachment on my Stihl ! So this is great ! I like my husqvarna better ! And didn't want to keep switching attachments and had a unsure Stihl fs 56 ! This worked out great ! So saved me some cash and I bough you a beer on you're website !

I believe those hedge trimmer attachment heads actually swivel just for that purpose, at least the Ryobi one I have does. So I'd think the more expensive Stihl system should have that as well? I know Ryobi has 2 different ones, one actually adjusts for different angles of the cutter head, the other one is a fixed one...so if the Stihl system is similar you'd just have to make sure you pickup the right attachment LOL.

I have a Redmax articulating hedge trimmer. I can adjust the angle.

I have the Poulan Pro Combo and I have 3 attachments (so far). The weed-eater, The Brushcutter, and The Pole Pruner. All 3 are great for clearing out around my property and my pond.
