The STIHL MS 162 14″ Bar Petrol Chainsaw is a robust entry-level chainsaw perfect for domestic use, firewood cutting, and light tree maintenance. Replacing the popular MS 170, the MS 162 improves on its predecessor with modern design enhancements and STIHL’s latest engine technology.

Powered by a fuel-efficient 2-MIX engine, this chainsaw offers smooth and reliable performance while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The 14-inch guide bar and narrow 3/8” P chain deliver a clean, precise cut, whether you’re trimming branches or cutting logs.

Comfort is key with the MS 162, thanks to STIHL’s anti-vibration system, which reduces fatigue during extended use. Maintenance is made simple with side chain tensioning, transparent fuel and oil tanks, and a convenient single-lever control system. It’s built with ease-of-use and reliability in mind—ideal for both first-time chainsaw users and those needing a dependable tool for home or lifestyle block tasks.

Backed by a 2-year domestic warranty and full service support from STIHL Shop Te Rapa in Hamilton, Waikato, the MS 162 is ready to get the job done.
