Since this demo, (it was a genuine first-use demo), we have purchased 2 of these heads (and several blade kits afterwards). They are as good as they first appeared and can be used at various angles, of course. Teeth don't like wire! We've had a fairly good run from them, although the first head did not last very long - but I suspect the operator was fairly hard on it. If I did offer a criticism, the angle of the head would be better if it was more acute as it can be a bit hard on the back if your average height or taller. I am now trialling a different head but similar setup, (2 multi-toothed blades) and will post a video soon.
In NZ - Stihl Shops or online RRP $695. It's on a split boom system, but you can fix the head to other brush cutters as long as same size shaft diameter and square drive. Replacement blades are about $135 a set, (from memory - hard to find online). Teeth can break if you nip wire, but you can rotate the blades 1/3 rotation to "fix" that, (until you run out of teeth). Ask for 10% off - seems to work whenever I do. P.S. I'm not affiliated with Stihl!!!
i think it would of worked better if ran it along the edges of manholes and path edges. using it tilted?

🤦🏻♂️, this tool is not for cutting grass, poor. presentation
OK, against my better judgement I'll bite - if STIHL sell it as a grass trimmer, why do you attest its "not for cutting grass"?
