STIHL battery saw

Good Morning Iveco...yep i see no reason why the 160 would ever require an additional fastener for the battery.Do you enjoy using yours as much as i do?

If that's the only problem you've had in two years of use then that's forgivable....i climb and move about the tree with it attatched to my Caritool by the ring....between cuts its lowered smoothly and when chogging or dismantling i put the handle (Carefully) through the Caritool

No good for a bank job Ste, run in there waving that about and they will sit you down in the corner and call your parents.

I don't know how I missed this thread for so long. I reviewed a MS160 Aug 2015 for a company I was working for. If I hadn't not long brought a 193T I would have brought a battery saw.

 

Been trailing a Stihl MSA 160t. Very impressed I must say.

The battery (AP115) has lasted well and it was cutting ash and beech upto bar length of 12" weight wise it feels like the 193t I brought the other month. (Just looked at stats 3.5kg with battery)

It was nice not to wear ear defenders all day until we chipped the brash.

Looking at the sums (all approx)

£260 saw

£200 two batteries

£60 charger

£520 total so puts it around 201t price however your not paying out for fuel and 2 stroke which saves around £400pa so it almost pays for itself in a year, with the health benefit of no fumes

And I can knock out a small mushroom to test it ripping. Again did reasonably well

A vid from my Instagram showing it going through 6" oak. The oak was approx 18" at base it was dismantled with top handle and did crown and chogging down rinsed the battery as it was more then at length.
