JamalPadilla346's review of Stihl MS170

“Weak strength and rapid dull blade”

★★☆☆☆

written by JamalPadilla346 on 16/11/2017

I purchased the MS 170 to use once in a while to trim fallen branches and perhaps a tree. I purchased it to replace my husqvarna chainsaw which I was disappointed in and returned it to the store where I bought it. The ms170 did not work out well either. The power was far short the the power and cutting ability that the manufacturer represented. After several cuts , the chain needed sharpening and I only cut a few branches. Several times I could hear the motor struggling as it was about half way through the cut. I let the saw do the cutting and did not use my strength and stamina to force cut. A chainsaw should be doing all the work, not the operator. I will not buy another one. I am very disappointed and now ordered several chaons as spares....
