When you have a cutting job to do, reach for the legendary power of STIHL chainsaws. Whether you’re a homeowner or pro, doing light trimming or heavy-duty cutting, it’s easy to find the right STIHL chainsaw for your needs. From the original gas chainsaw that helped us build our name worldwide, to our innovative battery-powered saws, to the convenience of a plug-and-go electric chainsaw, you can count on the power, performance, and durability of a STIHL.
This isn't your father's electric chainsaw. Power, durability, and advanced cutting technology abound in the MSE 170 C-B. Now you can leave behind fuel costs, exhaust fumes, and engine maintenance without sacrificing reliable cutting power. This electric chainsaw delivers all the power you need for tasks around the home (even indoors). With a powerhead weight of just under 8.5 pounds, the MSE 170 C-B is light enough for agile cutting work and features a wide trigger switch and the toolless Quick Chain Adjuster for easy operation. There's even a coast-down feature which quickly stops the rotating chain when the trigger is released. Just plug it in and put it to work.
STIHL offers an additional, manually-activated chain brake on select models. This system is designed to engage when the operator’s right hand completely releases the rear handle, stopping the chain within one second.
