Very cool happy to see I made the right decision! I picked one of these up for 90 bucks, jar of oil, and a bunch of trimmer line. 90 Canadian to be exact! That's for the videos thumbs up!

When they came out with the new model I asked the store if they had any 100's hiding. I already had two but one was getting lots of hours on it. He was lost why I would want them and not the latest since they are for my mowing business. Got them for a discount. Still have one that has never been started as a backup. All around I prefer a 100.

get a Darwin's Grip handle for your stihl, and the extra weight won't matter. I have them on my fs111 and fs131. Their weight doesn't bother me one bit, and I love their performance. It's nice being able to trim several yards between refueling as well.

I found good used one for $150.00. I want to add a cutting blade for heavy brush. Do you think this model is powerful enough?

The 100RX has a hollow shaft for better weight savings. It will not accept a majority of the cutting blades. You would have to go for a different solid shaft model to mount them. As for $150 for a nice used one, yes I would buy again.

I installed the RX hollow shaft and RX gear head on my 90R and my 80R. The 80R was 10.8 pounds to start with. I'm guessing it's about 9 pounds now.

Good trimmer I have the Stihl 110r but you said you find no fault why because you bought it with the fault.What I mean is that my experience using my Stihl is that the only fault is that the trimmer head shield that cuts the line is located too near to the spinning bump head which results in the line being cut too short.I have owned a shindaiwa trimmer and it does not cut the line that short the result being that you get more work done in less of a time.But only a professional landscaper like myself would only notice the difference and the ordinary person who only users a Stihl trimmer would not take notice.So the length at which the trimmer cuts the line is of utmost importance to someone like me I only hope Stihl sees this error and if they are able to please fix it as it can be a handycap to someone like me who does a lot of cutting.

Sell me that 10 hr. 100RX ! 8 ) Do you typically weed eat without eye protection ? I use an FS 94r and it throws stuff everywhere . I've had oodles of strawberries on my face from that thing. I couldn't imagine not wearing safety glasses and even then things occasionally get by them. Be safe Bud . . . and sell me that extra trimmer ! 8 )
