IT WAS WAY back in 1926 that Andreas Stihl designed an electric-powered chainsaw that was to revolutionise the world of commercial and residential gardeners. With a small factory in Stuttgart, Germany, he soon started an assembly line making petrol-powered chainsaws. Over a period of 90 years Stihl has grown into a huge company, with eight factories in Germany, production companies on four continents, and supplying products to 90 countries. In 2009 Stihl launched its cordless range of hedge trimmers which were quiet and powerful, and several years later a new era began with a complete range of lithium-ion battery-powered tools.
These days a lot of four-wheel drivers and campers have moved on from their old petrol chainsaws to battery-powered ones for convenience; they are compatible with other skins (blowers, drills etc.) and there's no need to carry smelly fuel.
