Brushcutter & Strimmer Accessories Buyer's Guide
From cutting heads and blades to harnesses and guards, here's how to keep your brushcutter or strimmer running safely and cutting cleanly.
Cutting Heads & Blades
Replacement strimmer heads and brushcutter blades are consumable by nature — line heads wear down with use, and metal blades dull or chip on stony ground, so keeping spares on hand avoids downtime mid-job.
Harnesses & Belts
A well-fitted harness distributes a brushcutter's weight across your shoulders and hips rather than your arms, reducing fatigue significantly over a full day of strimming or clearing.
Guards & Guide Plates
Blade and line guards are a safety essential, deflecting thrown debris away from the operator — replace a cracked or missing guard before using the machine again rather than working without one.
Spare Parts by Model
This collection covers parts across Stihl's FS petrol and FSA cordless brushcutter ranges — check your model number carefully, as gearbox, shaft and attachment fittings vary between ranges.
Strimmer Line Compatibility
Strimmer line diameter and type need to match your specific head — too thick and it won't feed, too thin and it wears out fast. Check our dedicated Strimmer Line, Head & Blades guide for the full breakdown.
Battery vs Petrol Accessories
Cordless FSA brushcutter accessories and petrol FS accessories aren't interchangeable — confirm which range your machine belongs to before ordering shafts, heads or guards.
Choosing the Right Attachment
A line head suits general lawn edging and light growth, while a metal blade cuts through tougher scrub, brambles and saplings — match the cutting attachment to what you're actually clearing rather than defaulting to line for everything.
