How about a hint, like for what product? Stihl makes many.


string trimmers. Stihl was smart to make this pick since
the choice engines have a history of proven service. Stihl
was also smart to out source so they could remain cost competitive.

Stihl has a good product and a reputation for being there to
service what they sell. I'm glad Stihl did not decide to cut
quality so they could remain cost competitive with foreign
competitors whose labor cost are much less.


I give up. Who is building their trimmer engines now?
