  • Stihl has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment

What some users online have said about the Stihl ms170

Great saw for the price. Have used it frequently with no problems especially using the Stihl premix fuel. Bought a Stihl pole saw since and will use Stihl products from now on.

I have cut 12 cords of 100in birch logs in the past month! I bought the Stihl chain sharpener as well and holy that thing works magic as well. Sharpened thr blade 4 times total and everytime it cut like butter! This little saw is a beast!

I’ve only used this a 170 a couple times. It is great for trimming small limbs, small trees. I’ve had a WB 250 for nearly 40 years and have been pleased with this work horse – no tree too thick, no wood too tough; and it still runs great. However I needed to scale down to something lighter weigh and for smaller jobs; hoping the MS 170 will be as tough and trouble-free.
