STIHL RLA 240 cordless lawn scarifier without battery and charger

Patchy, mossy lawn and tight corners? The STIHL RLA 240 helps you revive small, shaped lawns without cords or hassle. It scarifies for better airflow or gently combs out moss so new grass can thrive.

Powered by the STIHL AK battery system, it’s light to steer, easy to set up and simple to store. Switch work depth in seconds and get straight to scarifying or de-thatching. Collected debris goes straight into the 50 litre catcher.

Where it works best

• Small gardens with lots of edges and curves
• Seasonal lawn renovation: spring and autumn

• Cable-free care around flowerbeds and paths

Why this one stands out

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com

Scarify on a dry day and start shallow—make one pass, check results, then lower the depth slightly if needed to avoid stressing the lawn.
