STIHL MSA 70 C-B 36V Cordless Chainsaw Kit (AK System) - 12"

The STIHL MSA 70 C-B is a compact 36V cordless chainsaw kit built on STIHL's AK battery platform, offering light, gas-free cutting power for yard maintenance and occasional firewood work. This kit includes the saw, an AK 30 battery, and an AL 101 charger, so it's ready to use out of the box.

Lightweight power for everyday jobs

A 12" bar and a low-emission electric motor make quick work of pruning, small firewood cutting, and general yard clean-up, without the fumes or upkeep of a gas engine.

Adjust on the spot

The Quick Chain Adjuster lets you tighten chain tension by hand without tools, so you can keep cutting instead of stopping to dig out a wrench.

Everything you need, included

Unlike tool-only cordless saws, the MSA 70 C-B Kit comes complete with an AK 30 battery and AL 101 charger, giving up to about 45 minutes of runtime per charge right from the first use.
