The STIHL MS 162 is a compact and reliable petrol chainsaw, perfect for entry-level users tackling everyday jobs around the home and garden. Whether you’re processing firewood, pruning branches, or felling small trees, the MS 162 provides dependable cutting performance in a lightweight design.
Equipped with a STIHL 2-MIX engine with four-channel technology, it combines strong performance with reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions, fully compliant with EU Stage V standards. The 12” guide bar with narrow-kerf 3/8" P saw chain ensures precise, efficient cuts with less effort.
For ease of use, the single-lever combi control with stop function allows for quick restarts after interruptions, while the side-mounted chain tensioner makes re-tensioning safe and straightforward. A transparent oil tank gives you a clear view of chain lubrication levels, helping ensure consistent performance.
Comfort is built in with the STIHL anti-vibration system, which reduces strain on your hands and arms, making longer sessions easier to manage. Plus, the compensator carburettor maintains consistent engine power and efficiency even as the air filter becomes dirty, meaning reduced maintenance and longer working intervals.
