The light MSA 161 T Cordless Arborist Chainsaw is ideal for tree climbing work in noise-sensitive areas. The MSA 161 T accelerates very rapidly and delivers fine, extremely precise cutting due to it's powerful EC motor and fast chain speed of 16 m/s (40% higher than its predecessor the MSA 160 T). The saw comes with a high-quality ¼ inch PICCO saw chain.
The MSA 161 T is part of our AP Cordless System - the battery can be used on a wide range of other tools from the AP range.
