The MSA 70 C-B brings quiet battery operation to pruning, storm cleanup and firewood preparation. Its PM3 chain, adjustable trigger and tool-free tensioning support controlled cutting, while low weight and a soft grip ease handling. An AK 30 provides up to 45 minutes of operation, depending on conditions. The set includes that battery and an AL 101 charger; the unit-only option excludes both.
