51 reviews for Stihl MS 170 Petrol Chainsaw (30cc) with 12″ Bar + Chain (Discontinued)

  1. Brian Clayton (verified owner)

    The saw was delivered when stated. I have used it to log up lengths of boughs and tree trunks and found it to be extremely efficient. I used to be a tree surgeon and always used STIHL equipment. It is more costly than other similar equipment from other manufacturers but STIHL machinery is far more resilient than any other similar product. I retired last year and wanted a chainsaw simply to cut up logs for my open fire and the MS170 is ideal for this and other domestic tree work.

  2. Richard (verified owner)

    Needed a chainsaw for my work. Did an internet search and came across Radmore & Tucker. Never heard of them before, they were by far the cheapest for the chainsaw I required, they also did free delivery so I placed my order which arrived the next day.

    Excellent company to order from, great price.

    Simple easy to use website. Very impressed

    Would definitely recommend Randmore & Tucker

  31. James Noad (verified owner)

    MS170, my first chainsaw. Surprised (naive me!) to find it made in China. Lightweight, easy to handle, amazing cutting ability (on ash trees) with “factory fresh” chain. Starting was difficult compared to my KM56 RC-E Stihl Combi, this just starts and goes no issues (had it for years, never even looked at the spark plug!). Pulled the spark plug out of the MS170 (nice medium tan colour), sparks a bit hit and miss when earthing spark plug to cylinder head and pulling starter cord. Reduced spark plug gap to 0.4mm (0.5mm specified) now starts much more easily. From cold, full choke 1 or 2 pulls and quickly flick the switch to fast idle. From hot switch to run and normally it goes first pull.
    There is no fuel “priming button” so restarting after running out of fuel takes a few pulls.
    Overall I am pleased with the MS170, just a bit concerned about the quality of the ignition circuitry.

  32. Richard Page (verified owner)

    First class service from ordering, telephone enquiries and delivery. Makes shopping online a pleasure!

  33. Bamforth (verified owner)

    Delkvered on time.
    Hard to start from new but instructions very good , once started it starts first time every time.
    Cuts well , reduced a 7 foot log to 10 inch pieces in 5 minutes.
    So far extremely pleased.

    Was looking to purchase a small domestic saw for occasional log cutting etc and was looking to buy a second hand
    machine, luckily i came across the Radmore and Tucker site and found a new Stihl MS170 at a great price.
    Having used Stihl saws commercially in the past and I was happy with them it was a no brainer, and it arrived pre fueled and ready to go which was a nice touch.
    Easy ordering, great comunications and free
    friendly delivery made it a hassle free experience…Highly recomended.

  35. P sanderson (verified owner)

    arrived when stated the next day took it to were we we’re logging only to find it wouldn’t work after checking it out the plug gap wasn’t correct so make sure you check
    Apart from that a very handy little tool that made light work of things

  36. David Giles (verified owner)

    1st class service

  37. Ian Squirrell (verified owner)

    Very powerful machine for its size. Ideal for cutting off branches and felling smaller trees.
    Incredibly light so ideal for ladder work.
    Replacement chains very reasonably priced.
    We now use this saw whenever we can as it’s more versatile than our bigger husqvarna machines.
    Radmoretucker after many problems with payments on their website were very efficient in delivery and communications. Would certainly buy from them again.

  38. Daniel Douglas (verified owner)

    Very quick delivery via DPD. Looks good and will put to use soon. Pleased with with the purchase at a good price.

  39. Bob Dickson (verified owner)

    Start of the year storms brought down several large branches from the Scots Pine I have in my garden. Next door neighbour had a Stihl chainsaw and cut them up for me. Decide I needed chainsaw for future use. Never heard of Radmore Tucker but the saw arrived promptly, courtesy of DPD. Unfortunately have not had opportunity to use it yet, but more branches come down so looking forward to trying it out.

  40. Michael Trimble (verified owner)

    Bought this from a recommendation from a friend. It’s been absolutely brilliant. Mostly been using it to chop firewood but it does this with no issues at all. I received it quickly and well packaged and was ready to go within 10 minutes of opening the box (having read the instructions). It’s a great piece of kit for the smaller jobs and I’d highly recommend it

  41. Mr RJ Bell (verified owner)

    An excellent piece of kit at a good price. Next day delivery was very efficient. I have used chainsaws for many years and currently have 6 but as I’m getting old and the 50cc and 60cc saws are now too heavy for me to use for more than a couple of minutes I decided to go for a lightweight MS170 and I’m glad that I did. It’s easy to start, easy to use and it’s easy on my old bones. I have fitted a 14″ bar and chain as I don’t think it’s really strong enough for a 16″. With a 16″ you may be tempted to cut big logs that this little saw is not really designed for and you will knacker it. Best to use Stihl 2 stroke oil with your petrol as some of the stuff sold on the internet and in some supermarkets is for motorbikes and it’s cheap but don’t use it. Always wear safety gear even with a little saw like this. it may be small but it can still kill you.

  42. Rob M (verified owner)

    A great chainsaw at a great price point. I have always wanted a Stihl saw and when I saw this at this price I couldn’t refuse. The saw was simple to assemble and is very robust. I have already put in a few hours of constant sawing of dry logs which are about 10 inches thick and the saw went through them like butter.
    Communication was great throughout the purchase process and being in Northern Ireland, the item arrived within a few days. Kudos to Radmore & Tucker for their very professional service, I will definitely buy from here again.

  43. Patrick (verified owner)

    Stihl ms170. Ordered this saw from r/tucker as I needed a smaller saw for de-limbing and cutting up firewood. Fantastic service and very quick delivery. More or less the cheapest price for this saw . I’ve used stihl for years and the quality is top notch and I applaud the level of service from t/tucker – thanks r/t team 5stars

  44. Thomas Rockey (verified owner)

    Absolutely amazing company, can’t beat the delivery time, ordered online Saturday night and arrived Monday morning as I was leaving my door for work. Got recommended by a friend and already planning another order.
    What a great little chainsaw too powerful for the size and lightweight thank you.

  45. C Lawrence (verified owner)

    Great little chainsaw. I have used an old electric one for a couple of years, and now wish I had bought a Stihl saw sooner. It makes light work of everything I need to do.

  46. Dan Rumsey (verified owner)

    Excellent product and arrived the next day with no extra postage charges

  47. Michael Maxwell (verified owner)

    Good price with free delivery to Northern Ireland although the delivery company DX are chaotic and lost it for two days. The saw is easy to assemble and started easily and works well. I am pleased with my purchase and Radmore and Tucker were helpful in tracking it down when DX lost it.

  48. Nick Spratt (verified owner)

    Needed a small saw for jobs that are too fiddly for my main chainsaw. This is perfect, plenty of grunt and easy to manoeuvre. Next day delivery and the best price I could find in the UK.

  49. Eddie (verified owner)

    Perfect for what I needed and my chainsaw was delivered perfectly faster than I expected

  50. Phiĺip Jury (verified owner)

    Ideal not used it yet but seems great.

  51. Dan Perry (verified owner)

    Absolute amazing delivery speed and easy to put together, would with out a dought recommended Radmore & Tucker to anyone wanting to buy any types of equipment.
