Stihl MS 182 Chainsaw

STIHL MS 182: Premium Domestic Logging & Property Maintenance

The STIHL MS 182 sets the standard for entry-to-midrange domestic petrol chainsaws, delivering an unbeatable balance of power, ergonomics, and fuel efficiency. Driven by a high-torque 35.8 cc STIHL 2-MIX 2-stroke engine (1.6  kW} / 2.2 HP), it easily outperforms basic homeowner saws when cutting firewood, clearing storm damage, or felling small trees. Engineered with STIHL’s 4-channel combustion technology, the engine provides high low-end torque while slashing fuel consumption and reducing emissions. It features a lightweight 4.6 kg chassis (dry), an advanced multi-point Anti-Vibration system, and a narrow-kerf 3/8″ P Oilomatic® chain, ensuring effortless control and reduced muscle strain during long logging sessions. Combined with practical maintenance upgrades like a transparent fuel tank and side chain tensioning, the MS 182 is built to give homeowners professional-grade cutting performance at a domestic price point.

Key Performance Features & Technical Advantages
