Interesting.
 
hopefully their battery life is better than their yard tools.. I ended up getting rid of the few ones i had as the battery life was terrible.
 
I'm surprised they aren't Stihl orange. eems they want to take some of DeWalt's and Milwuakee's business. Some of the drills sure looks like Makitas. Where are the tools made? in China?

I went to Stihl's website and found nothing. I notice that all of the articles posted on the site by Jerzy Lewandowski have the same date. Bogus AI written article and website?

That picture is AI generated. Some of the "tools" look pretty weird. Look at the space hammers! What the heck are those round things with spines on the nearest corner? And that wrench looking thing next them? Those aren't real. There's no mention of Stilhl's 135 platform on the internet. Their marketing would need to be extremely incompetent to fail that hard. And as pointed out above, it's very unlikely they'd make stuff that's not in their corporate colorway.

Keep in mind how bogus this is when you see the next hard to believe thing. I think we're going to be seeing a lot of this in the future.

I'm starting to think that the whole site may be AI generated. The latest form of clickbait.

It's easy to get fooled by pics like that. The brain fills or papers over parts that don't make sense. The first time I looked at it I thought it was ok and maybe I just didn't understand the purpose of some of the tools. It was only after looking at it more carefully after seeing begreen's post that I realized how wrong some of the tools are.

My wife's been look at a lot of "home porn" as she calls it and gleefully points out to me all the bad AI generated kitchens with too many stove knobs or countertops no one can reach. They all look ok at first glance.
 
I am still (pun not intended) working part time at a John Deere dealership. We are also a Stihl dealer and have not heard of this.

When AI gets readily available, as if Craigslist and Marketplace weren’t sketchy enough.
 
I thought it was odd. First the market is well saturated from high end to low. All the colors of the rainbow are already being sold. Second. I could not identify what some of those tools could possibly be used for.
