One of the most popular names in chain saws is STIHL. This high quality manufacturer is the second leading producer of chainsaws and offers a large variety of sizes and models. The STIHL name is synonymous with professional quality products and they produce many types of professional equipment, such as blowers, trimmers and concrete saws. While many people think of industrial level chainsaws and equipment when they think of STIHL, this company also has a quality line for those who are in need of power saws and equipment for use around the home.
The first STIHL chainsaw was developed and built by hand back in the year 1926, by a man named Andreas Stihl. His first attempt at making a chain saw produced a rather heavy piece of equipment; one weighing around 140 pounds. The saw was powered by electricity and grew popular very quickly with many individuals. Because the United States faced the Great Depression around the same time the STIHL’s chainsaws went on the market, the company grew slowly at first. However, it didn’t take long for STIHL to be the leading name in commercial, mid-range and occasional use chainsaws.
The STIHL chain saws, as well as other brands, are used for a variety of purposes. There are many different models that are designed for various wood cutting applications. The chain saw can be used to cut firewood for the home, by loggers in the logging industry and by those who participate in producing chainsaw art. Tree surgeons also use these power saws in order to remove dead branches from trees. Another common use for chainsaws is during fire season. Foresters use the saws blades to cut fire breaks in order to stop fires from spreading through larger areas of forest.
The STIHL brand, first designed in 1926, is still a common name today. These chain saws are used both in the logging industry and around the home. Other industries have specific uses, such as in forestry and the popular growing chainsaw carving art medium. Whether you need a chainsaw to cut firewood for your home or you are a logger who makes his living cutting down trees, STIHL has a model that will fit the particular need.
