STIHL Weight Kit for AP Adapter

STIHL Weight Kit for AP Adapter: Improve Balance and Comfort with Your External Battery Setup

The STIHL Weight Kit for AP Adapter is a simple yet highly effective accessory for professionals who use STIHL’s external battery systems. When a battery is moved away from the tool and into a holster or backpack, the machine naturally becomes lighter at the working end. This optional weight kit helps restore that balance, making compatible AP System tools feel more natural in the hand and more comfortable to use over extended periods of time. Easy to install and expertly engineered by STIHL, it helps improve handling without affecting performance.

Restore Natural Tool Balance

Relocating the battery to an external power source offers greater freedom of movement and allows you to work for longer, but it also changes the weight distribution of the tool. The STIHL Weight Kit for AP Adapter has been designed to compensate for this difference by adding 500g back to the ADA 100 AP adapter.

Once fitted, the additional weight helps recreate the tool’s natural balance. This improves ergonomics, enhances handling and can reduce operator fatigue during prolonged working sessions.

Designed for the STIHL AP System

This STIHL weight kit attaches directly to the STIHL ADA 100 AP Adapter, making installation quick and straightforward. It has been engineered specifically for compatible STIHL AP System tools, ensuring a secure fit and dependable performance.

The kit contains two precision-made metal weight blocks together with the mounting screws required for installation. Please note that the STIHL ADA 100 AP Adapter itself is not included and must be purchased separately.

Quick and Simple Installation

Fitting the weight kit takes very little time, allowing you to optimise your equipment without complicated adjustments. Once installed, the weights remain securely attached to the adapter, providing consistent balance every time you use your tool with an external battery system.

Its robust construction reflects the high manufacturing standards expected from STIHL, making it suitable for the demands of professional daily use.
