The Stihl MS 181 16” chainsaw is the perfect around the garden cutting tool for firewood, building work, and felling small trees at a super value price! The powerful yet lightweight 2-Mix engine features reduced emission technology, lowering fuel consumption as well as emissions, great for the environment and the user.

Stihls unique anti-vibration system dampens significantly the vibrations at the handles when in use, significantly lowering the risk of long term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arm caused by frequent prolonged use of power tools.

This MS 181 is also fitted with a compensator in the carburetor, preventing the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the filter becomes clogged. The compensator ensures the correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburetor depending on the quantity of air that passes through the air filter. This ensures the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture is constant and therefore so is the engine power, the filter does not need to be cleaned until a significant drop in power is experienced. The all important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are all operated by a single lever.
