Stihl GTA 40 Cordless Pruner

Step into the future of arboriculture with the STIHL GTA 40, a revolutionary cordless pruner that shatters the limitations of the handheld DIY market. While the famous GTA 26 was a gardener’s favorite, the GTA 40 is a professional-grade disruptor featuring an industry-first Dual AS 2 Battery System. By discharging two batteries in parallel, this 21.6V powerhouse delivers a massive 90% increase in power and 520 Watts of mechanical output—equivalent to a small petrol chainsaw but in a form factor that fits in your hand. Designed for the high-altitude demands of arborists and the rigorous pace of Irish landscaping, it features an automatic chain lubrication system and a 15 cm (6″) bar that slices through 9-inch timber with surgical precision. If you’re a professional looking to replace manual loppers or a homeowner who demands the best, the GTA 40 is the only IPX4-certified mini-saw that guarantees the power will never fade until the job is done.

• Parallel Dual-Battery Power Supply: The first mini-saw to utilize two AS 2 batteries simultaneously. This doesn’t just double the runtime; it increases the voltage to 21.6V for “Constant Power” performance that doesn’t slow down as the charge drops.

• Integrated Automatic Oiling System: Unlike its predecessor and most competitors, the GTA 40 features a built-in oil reservoir with a transparent viewing window. No more manual oiling—the tool handles the lubrication, ensuring the chain stays cool and sharp for hundreds of cuts.

• IPX4 All-Weather Certification: Specifically engineered for the unpredictable Irish climate, the GTA 40 is fully splash-proof. You can continue working through light rain and damp conditions that would sideline standard consumer-grade electronics.

• Captive Nut Sprocket Cover: A feature borrowed from STIHL’s forestry chainsaws; the bar nut is permanently attached to the cover. You can change your chain in the field without ever worrying about a small nut falling into the grass or off a ladder.

• Safety-Focus “No-Go” Spike Zone: The top of the motor housing is equipped with specialized ridges to deter improper hand placement. This, combined with the mandated two-handed operation and finger guard, makes it the safest high-torque pruner on the market.

• Side-Access Chain Tensioning: No more fiddling with tool-free dials that slip. The GTA 40 uses a traditional side-tensioning screw, providing the secure, rock-solid bar retention that professional arborists demand.

• Aerial-Ready Tether Point: Features a robust integrated metal ring for attaching a safety lanyard. This makes it the first mini-pruner truly certified and ready for “in-tree” aerial work by trained professionals.
