Studies report that burglary is one of the most emotionally impactful crimes to be a victim of. The prevention of being succumbed to it is always at the back of our minds – is anything on show? Are all the windows closed? Did you definitely lock…

"yes totally genuine despite the price. You need the (separately sold and not cheap) cable/belt set up to use it with your AP batteries. As it's not "cordless""

Are these genuine Stihl?"
