Stihl MSA 161 T Cordless Chainsaw – AP System (Tool Only)

Description

The Stihl MSA 161 T is a top-handle, battery-powered chainsaw built for certified arborists who need precision and power at height. Weighing just 2.5 kg (excluding battery), this professional-grade saw delivers agile handling in the canopy, ideal for pruning and crown thinning.

Compared to its predecessor (MSA 160 T), the MSA 161 T boasts 40% faster chain speed and 15% more motor performance, making it one of Stihl’s most efficient cordless arborist saws. The ¼” P low-profile chain ensures a clean, accurate finish with reduced chain chatter, while the EC motor provides constant power output from full to empty charge.

Designed with safety and ergonomics in mind, it includes a trigger side-lock button, large throttle interlock lever, carrying ring for climbing, and soft grip handle for secure handling—even in wet conditions.

Powered by the Stihl AP System, this tool is IPX4-rated for all-weather use and offers up to 42 minutes of runtime with the recommended AP 200 S battery* (other compatible batteries include AP 300 S and AP 500 S). Quiet operation allows for early starts in noise-sensitive areas—no ear defenders required.

Note: This tool is only available to certified arborists.
