- In this video we will unbox a brand new Stihl MS162 chainsaw , tear it down , reassemble it and start it for the first time! Follow along! The MS162 is replacing the Stihl MS170 chainsaw.
I own a 170 and I recently purchased the 162. After I got it home and started looking closer at I realized that Stihl had really cut corners on the 162. No nose sprocket and only one , not two, retention bolts on the chain bar which is the main fulcrum point on any chain saw. I then started to check the reviews of actual owners of these 162’s. This saw is tuned to reduce emissions which always results in lower performance. This was verified by virtually EVERY cutting time comparison between the 162 vs the 170. The 170 beat the 162 in every test. The reviews were so bad that I returned the 162 without ever starting it. When I returned it I felt a little guilty and apologized but the dealer told not to worry because he had a number of his customers return their 162’s for the same reasons.
Any chance you could do a video going through the Stihl model numbers and what they mean?
Thank you for the great tear down video!😃
Wow, there’s not much to a chainsaw when you break it down like that
So did yall like it better than the ms 170?
Definitely a much cheaper build and lower quality than previous models... this is not a commercial qualiy saw.
The moral of the story is quickly go out and buy a 170. It has more power better made and will last longer. All these cheaper models are made in China so I suspect they are probably assembled in the USA a bit like Dewalt tools.
A stratocharged saw has been sold in Europe under the MS 170 name since 2013. In addition to the obviously different engine/cylinder and carburetor, it also has a different ignition module.
Nice one, what I didn't like is the access to the air filter and the clips from the air filter cover.
Also do not like those squenched flywheel keys ! they do that on their string trimmers too once they shear you have to get a new flywheel.
Really enjoyed your video.can hardly wait until the next one😊
Keep making more ❤❤❤
Very cool! Not too complicated.
Nice Saws 😀😊😀 Easier Too Work on Than Previous Years Models 😀😊
Love the videos starting with the log burner...
i have a MS172 really like it. best chain saw i ever owned. i used to by big box no brand saws...all rubbish. this Sthil is fab. my BIG tip. use Sthil Motomix fuel. stable, proper mix, keeps saw happy and clean. oh....and but metal log teeth accessory for saw €6.
Nice video and very informative.
Seems easy enough to work on, been thinking about getting one to port as a fun project
Enjoying your videos U2, keep them coming
I have a 170 and a 271. I love thrm both. You can tell the 170 is alot cheaper made then that 271. I really like the 271 that is a sweet saw. I only heat my house with wood so i use them both alot and they both hold up great. Im afraid in a few more yrs i wont beable to use a saw because of my back. Its hard enough the way it is. Love the channel guys !! It looks like u have a very nice shop with lotsa parts. I wish i woulda learned more bout them little motors my back may not be in as bad shape. Ty for the video !!
