STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw

Introducing the STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw, a saw designed for homeowners seeking efficient and effective wood processing in their own gardens. Whether you’re preparing firewood or tackling the task of felling small trees, the MS 172 delivers the reliability and performance expected from the STIHL brand.

Optimal performance and efficiency

The STIHL MS 172 is equipped with a dynamic STIHL 2-MIX engine that offers impressive cutting performance while consuming less fuel. This innovative engine design not only enhances efficiency but also reduces exhaust emissions, ensuring compliance with the stringent EU Stage V emissions directive. Available with either a 12-inch or 14-inch guide bar and chain, this chainsaw uses a 3/8″ P saw chain noted for its high cutting performance and narrow kerf, which slices through wood with precision and ease.

User-friendly features

This chainsaw prioritises user comfort and ease of operation. It features STIHL’s anti-vibration system, which significantly diminishes the vibrations transferred to the handle, reducing muscle and joint strain during extended use. Additionally, the MS 172 boasts a single-lever operation, making it straightforward to manage. The convenience extends to its maintenance features; a transparent fuel and oil tank allows for easy monitoring of fluid levels, ensuring you never run dry unexpectedly.

Simplified operation and maintenance

STIHL has engineered the MS 172 with a focus on simplicity. The combi-lever with an integrated stop function allows for immediate restarting – simply turn the machine off and it’s ready to start again without any setting adjustments. For those who need to adjust or replace the chain, the side-mounted chain tensioning is a protected and hassle-free feature, allowing quick adjustments without the need for direct contact with the sharp chain.

Enhanced durability and longevity

The robust construction of the MS 172 ensures it stands the test of time. The compensator within the carburetor maintains consistent engine performance and exhaust quality over time, even as the air filter accumulates dirt. This means less frequent cleaning and maintenance, allowing you to work longer without interruption.

Eco-friendly and cost-effective

By integrating the STIHL 2-MIX engine technology, this chainsaw not only performs powerfully but also economically. It efficiently uses a mixture of petrol and engine oil to reduce operating costs and environmental impact. Furthermore, the smart energy use extends the intervals between refueling, and the efficient engine design ensures that power does not wane even with extensive use.

Conclusion

The STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw stands out as a top choice for entry-level homeowners, offering a perfect blend of performance, convenience, and durability. It represents STIHL’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, making it an essential tool for anyone serious about maintaining their garden. This chainsaw not only meets the needs of today’s eco-conscious homeowner but also provides all the necessary features to ensure efficient and effective garden maintenance.
