• Effortless Power with STIHL 2-MIX Engine: Experience superior cutting speed and torque from this fuel-efficient 30.1 cm³ engine. It produces 1.3 kW (1.8 HP) of raw power. The innovative 2-MIX technology separates exhaust emissions from unburnt fuel. This slashes fuel consumption by up to 20% and emissions by up to 70% compared to standard engines. This is perfect for eco-conscious users without sacrificing performance.
• Precision Cutting for Any Job: Fitted with a 35 cm (14″) guide bar and standard STIHL 3/8″ P low-kickback saw chain, it slices through wood with a narrow kerf for faster, cleaner cuts. Ideal for processing logs, pruning, or horticultural work, the STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw offers effective precision.

• User-Friendly Design: The intuitive single-lever master control (combi-lever with stop function) simplifies starting and switching modes. It automatically resets for quick restarts after idle periods. Side-access chain tensioning lets you adjust on the fly without touching the sharp blade. Meanwhile, the built-in compensator keeps performance steady even as the air filter loads up. The STIHL MS 172 Petrol Chainsaw redefines ease of use by incorporating these features.
• Smart Maintenance Features: A diagnostic socket provides easy access to service data, extending the tool’s lifespan with minimal hassle. Plus, it’s backed by STIHL’s renowned durability for years of trouble-free operation.
