STIHL FC 56 C-E

13.9-Pound Weight
At 13.9 pounds without fuel or cutting tool, the FC 56 C-E is easy to maneuver along curbs and walkways.

Ideal for Use Around the Home
STIHL designed the FC 56 C-E specifically for homeowners looking to keep their property edges clean.

A Professionally Landscaped Look
Crisp, defined edges along driveways and sidewalks give any yard a finished, professional appearance.

Powers Through Tough Curbside Growth
Whether it’s overgrown grass, thick weeds, or compacted soil, the FC 56 C-E is built to power through it.

27.2cc Displacement, 1.1 BHP
A 1.66 cubic-inch engine delivers 1.1 brake horsepower while keeping fuel consumption in check.

Fuel-Efficient, Low-Emission Design
STIHL engineered the FC 56 C-E’s engine to run efficiently while keeping exhaust emissions low.

11.5-Ounce Fuel Tank
An 11.5-ounce fuel tank keeps you edging through routine yard work without frequent refueling.

E-10 Fuel Compatible
The engine is compatible with E-10 fuel (up to 10% ethanol), so it works with fuel already available at most gas stations.

8.0-Inch Cutting Blade
An 8-inch blade cuts a clean, defined edge along driveways, sidewalks, and garden beds.

Open Guard Design
The open guard design minimizes clogging, so the blade keeps cutting efficiently instead of bogging down.

Adjustable Depth Wheel
An adjustable depth wheel lets you dial in the exact cutting depth for the job at hand.

Skid Plate Protection
A skid plate protects the gearbox from rocks, curbs, and other debris while edging.

Almost Effortless Starting
The STIHL Easy2Start system makes starting the FC 56 C-E nearly effortless, with far less pulling force required.

Semi-Automatic Choke Lever
A semi-automatic choke lever simplifies cold starts without extra guesswork.

Simple Stop Switch
A dedicated stop switch makes shutting down the edger quick and straightforward.

Consistent Season-to-Season Starting
Reliable starting performance holds up even after the edger has sat unused between seasons.

Made in America
Like the majority of STIHL products sold in the U.S., the FC 56 C-E is made in America.

Durable, Impact-Resistant Construction
A rugged housing is built to hold up to regular use along curbs, driveways, and walkways.

Simple, Approachable Controls
Straightforward controls make the FC 56 C-E a good fit for homeowners new to power edging equipment.

Backed by STIHL’s Limited Warranty
Buy with confidence knowing the FC 56 C-E is backed by STIHL’s standard limited warranty.

Clean Lines Along Driveways & Sidewalks
Use the FC 56 C-E to cut crisp, professional-looking edges along hard surfaces.

Defines Garden Beds & Lawn Borders
It’s just as effective at separating garden beds and lawn borders from surrounding grass.

Compact Enough to Store Easily
Its light weight and manageable size make it simple to store in a garage or shed between projects.

A Simple Way to Finish the Job
Pair it with your mower and trimmer for a complete, professionally maintained property.
