The lightest back-handle chainsaw in the STIHL range, it’s the ideal choice for anyone who needs accuracy, reliability, and excellent ergonomics in one neat package. Whether you’re pruning branches, cutting firewood to size, or carrying out maintenance tasks around the garden, this versatile machine is one of the best STIHL chainsaws for domestic users.

Enhanced Engine Performance

An upgraded version of the MS 151 petrol chainsaw, this new STIHL chainsaw is fitted with a 23.6 cc 2-MIX petrol engine, engineered to deliver high levels of power with lower emissions and improved efficiency. Producing 1.1 kW of output, equivalent to 1.5 horsepower, it provides the cutting strength required for pruning, snedding, and more. Torque has been boosted by 15% compared with its predecessor, while keeping weight low, so you can handle tougher wood with greater confidence. Despite its power, this engine is compliant with the EU Stage V emissions directive and quiet enough for considerate domestic use, having a sound pressure level of 96 dB(A) at the operator’s ear.

Bar Options and Cutting Precision

The MS 151 C-E  STIHL mini chainsaw is available to buy with either a 25 cm (10-inch) or 30 cm (12-inch) guide bar, offering you plenty of flexibility for different tasks. Its ¼-inch PM3 saw chain produces a fine and controlled cut, making it one of the best STIHL chainsaws for pruning and other detailed work. If you want a STIHL mini chainsaw for delicate trimming that is also a practical all-rounder for general garden work, this particular model ticks the right boxes.

Effortless Starting System

Firing up the engine is quick and simple thanks to STIHL ErgoStart, which features an additional spring mechanism to reduce the force needed when pulling the starter cord. When combined with the manual fuel pump, which reduces the number of strokes required to start the engine, this chainsaw enjoys simple and reliable ignition every time.

Advanced Technology for Fuel Efficiency

The MS 151 C-E STIHL handheld chainsaw incorporates advanced four-channel combustion technology. By guiding the fuel-and-air mixture into the cylinder in a more targeted way, it burns more efficiently, reducing fuel consumption while maximising output. This ensures better performance alongside lower operating costs—a real win-win scenario.

Anti-Vibration System for Greater User Comfort

Chainsaws often transmit vibrations into the hands and arms, which can make longer jobs tiring. To combat this, the MS 151 C-E is designed with STIHL’s anti-vibration system, which uses buffer and spring elements to absorb much of that movement, keeping the chainsaw comfortable to hold. Weighing just 2.8 kg without fuel, and with an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 2.50 kg/kW, it is extremely easy to control and can comfortably be used for extended periods of time.

Simple Maintenance and User-Friendly Design

Everyday maintenance has been made straightforward on this STIHL chainsaw. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for quick adjustments with minimal fuss, while tool-free fuel and oil caps with bayonet closures make topping up quick and clean. A compensator in the carburettor ensures consistent engine performance over time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. Once the filter eventually needs cleaning, it can be accessed in seconds without the need for tools. Together, these intelligent features mean less downtime and more productive working hours.
