Why buy the STIHL FSA 120 15″ Cordless Brushcutter (Tool Only)?
- Professional-grade 15″ (38cm) cordless brushcutter
- Variable dual-speed: Eco & full power modes
- Bike handle for ergonomic operation on large areas
- Supplied with double shoulder harness & metal blade
- Compatible with STIHL TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut & GrassCut tools

Professional Power for Demanding Grounds Care
The STIHL FSA 120 Cordless Brushcutter (Tool Only) delivers a blend of professional performance and quiet operation, designed for commercial users and discerning homeowners alike. Suited to groundskeepers, landscapers and those maintaining large gardens, schools, or estates, the FSA 120 offers robust power without petrol emissions or high noise—making it an ideal brushcutter for noise-sensitive areas.
Effortless, Flexible Use
Fitted with an ergonomic bike handle and supplied with a double shoulder harness, operation is comfortable even during lengthy sessions tackling tall grass, weeds, and overgrown boundaries. Individual handle adjustment can be performed without tools via a central clamp, and the brushcutter handle can be rotated 90º for straightforward transport and compact storage.
Advanced Cordless Technology
Utilising STIHL’s ALLPRO/AP 36V battery system, the FSA 120 offers ‘constant power’ technology, ensuring performance does not fade as the battery discharges. A brushless EC motor ensures energy efficiency, long service life, and minimal maintenance requirements. The tool is IPX4 rated, providing splash-water protection for daily use—even in challenging British weather.
Versatile Performance & Attachments
This model is supplied as standard with the GrassCut 230-2 metal blade, but is compatible with a full range of STIHL cutting tools including TrimCut, DuroCut, PolyCut and additional GrassCut heads. Automatic tool recognition enables the FSA 120 to adapt its speed to the selected cutting attachment. Two power levels are available: Eco mode (for lighter trimming tasks and extended battery life), and full power (for dense or coarse vegetation).
Impressive Operating Times
When paired with suitable AP batteries, operators can expect significant run times (see table below). For example, with the AP 200 battery, expect up to 40 minutes with the AutoCut C head, or up to 80 minutes with the GrassCut 230-2 blade. Please note: this is a tool only package – battery and charger must be purchased separately.
| Battery Model | Run Time (GrassCut Blade) | Charge Time (to 100%) |
|---|---|---|
| AP 100 | 20–30 min | 100 min |
| AP 200 | 40–60 min | 150 min |
| AP 300 | 50–80 min | 210 min |
| AP 300 S | 60–110 min | 210 min |
| AP 500 S | 70–130 min | 230 min |
Suitable for a wide range of attachment heads; perfect for domestic and professional users tackling medium to large lawns, verges, and thick brush.
Smart Connectivity Options
The FSA 120 is compatible with STIHL’s Smart Connector system, allowing operators or fleet managers to monitor usage and maintenance schedules via Bluetooth integration with the STIHL connected App.
Care & Environmental Advice
For best results with mowing line heads, STIHL recommends soaking the line in water for 12-24 hours prior to use for improved flexibility and durability. Always check your work area for wildlife before starting, particularly for nesting birds or small mammals.
