It's firewood time!

January is the month when many people light their log fires, so if you need to build up your stockpile of wood why not pick up a seriously good chainsaw and you'll slice through the work in next to no time.

Making wood-cutting a quick, effortless and satisfying job, a quality chainsaw can save you from the blisters and back-ache of hours using an axe. STIHL chainsaws are respected by many as some of the best around, ranging from light safety-packed models for use at home to serious heavyweights for professional woodland care. 

Perfect for cutting up wood for home fires, the entry-level model MS 170 D is easy to handle and light in weight, and proves you can pick up a STIHL chainsaw for less than you might think. Its tested STIHL quality comes at just £169 (RRP).  

Step up to the STIHL MS 171 chainsaw – available with a slightly longer guide bar – and you'll be buying one of our best-selling models fitted with our latest high-tech engine that's low on fuel consumption and emissions too. Making things easier for you as well as the environment, why not choose one of our more powerful compact models with special ‘Comfort' features. Pick up the MS 181 C-BE for example (what we call the homeowners ‘dream' saw) and you'll enjoy extras like the ErgoStart feature that assures smooth, effortless start-ups every time, and the special chain tensioning feature that enables 15 second chain adjustment without the need for tools.

There are more than 20 models to choose from in our home and landowner range, plus impressive electric models and a powerful battery model introduced this year. For sound advice on model selection and a full range of accessories from saw horses to protective safety clothing, visit your local STIHL Approved Dealer.
