STIHL Picco Micro 3 (PM3) 1/4" P, 1.1 mm, 35 cm

If you’re running a pole pruner or a compact chainsaw and want smoother cuts without overloading a low‑power machine, this STIHL chain is built for you. Its extra-flat, narrow-kerf design bites cleanly with less resistance, so trimming and pruning feel controlled and efficient.

The 1/4" P Picco Micro 3 (PM3) profile delivers low kickback and low vibration, helping you keep a steady hand when working in tighter spots or above shoulder height.

Where it shines
