Not cutting like you used to? When a chain dulls or your bar is due for replacement, you need a quick, matching set you can trust. STIHL Cut Kit 2 keeps your MS 162, MS 170, MS 171 or MS 172 performing smoothly with a fresh 30 cm bar and two ready-to-fit chains.

Swap the set wherever you are and get back to clean, low‑vibration cuts with reliable, consistent performance.

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com

After fitting the new set, tension the chain cold, make a few test cuts, then recheck tension—new chains bed in quickly and often need a second tweak.
