ag1964's Review of Stihl MS170 Chainsaw

Good Points

Can't think of any.


Bad Points

Throttle mechanism, keeps jumping out of its holder, only way to stop it is to pull off the plastic cover, and take the lead to the spark plug off. This is a major design fault on this saw. Dealer said that it would cost the same as a new saw to fix this problem.


General Comments

The Stihl MS170 lacks power, struggles to cut more than 4" of beech. No good for logging, only good for small branch lopping. Looking to buy another saw ASAP.
