Trouble is, like most Stihl screws, they're self threading, which means unless they've been in and out a few times they're likely to be pretty stuck in there.  What caused them to shear off in the first place, that worries me a bit.

No idea, most likely sold to me that way. I guess it had two good bolts remaining and one over the last three years stripped its thread and the last remaining good one backed off slowly.

Bit late perhaps, but I've got the SGS 52CC strimmer in your original post. (Or a very similar model anyway).

 

For my needs (non commercial but an acre or so to keep on top of) it's been good. It's quite heavy, thirsty at full chat, and the line feed is fiddly to reload. So, I use it with the blade all the time, and it munches through anything, usually on mid revs. Starts easily, runs well, powerful, good price. Harness is a bit awkward, and it's not that comfy to use for hours at a time, but I'm not sure any hefty strimmer would be. I used to have an old Stihl of some sort, much lighter and less vibration, but much less powerful, and probably 4 times the cost.

 

I like it.
