Built for professional in-tree work, the MSA 220 TC-O combines battery operation with a brushless drive and magnesium housing. Its bumper spike and felling guide support controlled positioning, while an LED display reports operating information, including chain-oil status. IPX4 splash protection and serviceable components support demanding tree-care work. Compatible with STIHL AP and ALLPRO batteries; battery and charger are separate. For trained tree-care professionals working in trees only.
