Pros and points of attention
If you want a no-fuss chainsaw to cut firewood, prune fruit trees or tackle small felling jobs, the STIHL MS 162 makes it easy. It’s compact, light to guide and built tough enough for everyday garden tasks without the learning curve.
The efficient STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers strong cutting performance with low fuel use. A narrow-kerf 3/8" P PMM3 chain comes as standard for clean, accurate cuts. Comfort is baked in: the STIHL anti-vibration system keeps your hands fresher for longer, and one-handed operation with a combi-lever and stop function simplifies starts and restarts. Side chain tensioning lets you re-tension safely and quickly.
Where it shines
- Cutting stove-ready firewood with less effort
- Pruning and shaping fruit trees and ornamentals
- Storm clean-up and trimming around the property
- Felling and snedding of smaller diameter trees
Why you’ll like it
- Easy handling: One-lever control with auto stop-return
- Smoother cutting: Anti-vibration reduces hand fatigue
- Fast upkeep: Side chain tensioning and clear oil tank
- Efficient power: STIHL 2-MIX with strong torque
In daily use
The saw starts predictably and settles into a steady, low-vibration cut. The narrow-kerf PMM3 chain bites quickly yet remains easy to guide on smaller limbs. Checking chain oil is a glance job thanks to the transparent tank. Re-tensioning from the side keeps your hands clear of the sharp chain.

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com
Keep the PMM3 chain sharp and lightly tensioned: tension warm after a few cuts, so it settles at the right spot and runs cooler.
