STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw with 30cm Guide Bar
The STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw is a lightweight and easy-to-handle chainsaw designed for homeowners and occasional users tackling everyday cutting tasks. Powered by a 32cc 2-stroke petrol engine, it is ideal for cutting firewood, pruning trees, thinning branches, and felling small trees up to approximately 30cm in diameter.
Featuring STIHL Easy2Start™, the MS 172 requires less effort to start, while the QuickStop® chain brake enhances operator safety by stopping the chain rapidly in the event of kickback. The side-access chain tensioner allows for quick and convenient chain adjustments, and the Master Control Lever™ provides simple, one-handed operation.
