  1. Glennon Chatting-Walters (verified owner) –

    A little beauty and can not wait to get out and get it to work!

  2. Sikander Khan (verified owner) –

    Great saw! Made short work of the trees we had to sort out and didn’t miss a beat. Was hard to start first time but after that it fires up every time without any hassle. It has lots of power and goes through big stuff with ease. Nocks socks off the cheapo ones I’ve used before and feels well made and good quality
    Service from Radmore and Tucker was great with next day delivery on time and hassle free.
    Very pleased

  3. Rick Green (verified owner) –

    I work with a professional Stihl model MS 261C and to be honest, I find this is absolutely brilliant.
    Definitely recommend.

  4. Martin SOUTHCOTT (verified owner) –

    Great saw that does the job superbly.Fully recommend this and great delivery service

  5. Barrie Brown –

    I’ve had my saw for approximately 4 years…..it’s an awesome little saw , it’s starts so easily even after long periods of no use. Thoroughly recommend

  6. Mike Horton (verified owner) –

    This is a very powerful little chainsaw and is one of my most go for in my collection. If you want power without too much weight for all day use then this is the saw you should consider, you’ll not be disappointed. One reviewer said it is awesome and they are right, it is. The fast delivery by our friends Radmore & Tucker was excellent, as always.

    ok don’t normally do reviews, but!! Purchased to run along side my MS 181, 14 inch bar, which was having a hard life, probably using it beyond its design envelope. So, wanted one with more power and a 16inch bar.

    This one is stunning, the extra power makes a massive difference to the effort required, recommend 100% its brill. (as is all Stihl stuff) and the next day delivery work also!

    One little issue when I measured up the bar this one is only one inch longer than my MS 181, 14 inch !! unless I’m doing something wrong ?
