Stihl MSA 120 C-BQ Compact Cordless

[Paul in the woods]

I've been looking at the Stihl cordless saws for coppicing, hedgelaying etc. I like the idea of a quiet saw and the fine bar and chain is appealing. I have a petrol saw for the larger stuff. On the downside forking out £400 for a saw, battery and charger has put me off.

 

I've just noticed the MSA 120 C-BQ 'compact cordless' saw which includes a 3.2 ah battery and charger for £250 and it looks ideal. Anyone else seen them? Any views?

That's the New Domestic range they have brought out including hedge/strimmer and blower, you get charger and battery has a package on each one .

The batteries are not interchangeable with the commercial range .

I noted the batteries aren't interchangeable but I can't find much info about the saw. It looks very similar to the MSA 160 C-BQ which is getting a bit old now for cordless technology.

Anyone seen the new Stihl compact cordless saw yet? I've finally tracked down a local supplier that's seen them and they seemed to think it was as good as the more expensive MSA 160.
