Why Choose the STIHL MS 172?
- Effortless Power with STIHL 2-MIX Engine: Experience superior cutting speed and torque from this fuel-efficient 30.1 cm³ engine. It produces 1.3 kW (1.8 HP) of raw power. The innovative 2-MIX technology separates exhaust emissions from unburnt fuel. This slashes fuel consumption by up to 20% and emissions by up to 70% compared to standard engines. This is perfect for eco-conscious users without sacrificing performance.
- Precision Cutting for Any Job: Fitted with a 35 cm (14″) guide bar and standard STIHL 3/8″ P low-kickback saw chain, it slices through wood with a narrow kerf for faster, cleaner cuts. Ideal for processing logs, pruning, or horticultural work, the STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw offers effective precision.
- Comfort That Lasts All Day: The STIHL anti-vibration system effectively dampens engine vibes. It reduces fatigue and protects your hands and arms during extended use. At just 4.7 kg (without bar and chain), it’s easy to maneuver for overhead cuts or tight spaces.
- User-Friendly Design: The intuitive single-lever master control (combi-lever with stop function) simplifies starting and switching modes. It automatically resets for quick restarts after idle periods. Side-access chain tensioning lets you adjust on the fly without touching the sharp blade. Meanwhile, the built-in compensator keeps performance steady even as the air filter loads up. The STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw redefines ease of use by incorporating these features.
- Smart Maintenance Features: A diagnostic socket provides easy access to service data, extending the tool’s lifespan with minimal hassle. Plus, it’s backed by STIHL’s renowned durability for years of trouble-free operation.
