fireplace. I own a Stihl MS251C 2 stroke chainsaw which is great for heavier jobs but it's a bit more work to get out for a quick job. Initially I looked at the Stihl GTA26 hand held pruner at $Au279 but was a little worried that you had to manually oil the blade for lubrication and it's really scaled at a smaller scaled specifically designed use. I then had a look at the MSA60C which looked pretty nice with its compact size and lightweight. Luckily I also owned the fabulous Stihl BGA60 blower so already had an AK30 battery on hand. The skin for an MSA60C was $Au399 so I thought it to be the best compromise for size efficiency over performance over practicality over price.

Anyway I've used the MSA60C a few times now and it's absolutely brilliant for cutting any mid sized logs for the fire place. It runs so much quieter than a petrol chainsaw and using the MSA60C doesn't really hook into the AK30 battery charge that much as well. The wife even got it out and used it where she wouldn't even think about pulling out our petrol one before. The MSA70C skin was $Au100 more expensive with supposedly the same motor with 25% more power but the MSA60C is all I think you'd really need as it doesn't at all falter in use. A truly superb tool you'll be stoked to have.

for Christmas I was gifted a Stihl GTA 40 battery powered cordless pruner and advise I found it excellent and being a gift have no receipt to confirm this. A crimson bottlebrush had died and we had other shrubs to plant so I pruned the branches back until the shrub was around 1.5 metres tall and approx 300mm -450 mm thick so as to allow me to did it out and after digging and locating as many roots as possible I then cut them off in the ground to enable me to remove the dead tree trunk.

Eventually I was able to push the dead trunk over which allowed me to use the Stihl cordless pruner to cut the trunk into manageable sections and can attest the cordless pruner cut through it like butter.

The Stihl GTA 40 PATTERY POWERED cordless pruner is lightweight can be used in one hand and has safety features built in preventing accidental starting until the appropriate button is triggered, it has plenty of power and cut through the dead tree trunk in seconds

The Stihl GTA 40 battery powered cordless pruner is an excellent lightweight pruner, very safe and cuts wood easily and didn't "bounce" when activated, anyone considering a battery powered pruner should look at and consider the Stihl GTA 40

AP 500 batteries from an authorised local dealer. Spoke to the dealer to speak to the Stihl rep for our area that the saw is promoted falsely. no joy. With 2 batteries (AP 500) useable working time is a little over 1 hr. It takes several hours to recharge the batteries. Stihl advertises that you can work all day with 2 batteries. How can Stihl promote this saw as Professional? False advertising. Avoid.
