Why buy STIHL guide bars?

50 % longer lifetime

Made with specially hardened chain track. STIHL guide bars are ultra-reliable and last up to 50 % longer than conventional guide bars. The chain track is hardened using electromagnetic induction, making it especially hard-wearing.

Ultra light

STIHL Light 04 guide bars offer an exceptionally light design, making them easier to handle without compromising strength or durability. STIHL Light 04 guide bars consist of three electrically welded metal plates, with the middle one extensively hollowed out. This ensures a high level of stability combined with reduced weight and allows for energy-saving work. Designed for efficient cuts and reduced operator fatigue.

Longer durabilty and maintenance-free

Our STIHL Light 04 guide bars feature a sprocket nose with a sealed bearing. This design minimizes the penetration of dirt that could cause corrosion and reduces wear during saw chain operation. The sealed bearings in the sprocket nose are lubricated for life, ensuring longer durability and maintenance-free use. In contrast to conventional guide bars with K095 & A041 bar mounts, which require manual re-lubrication via an oil channel, our sprocket nose reduces the risk of a shortened service life.

Reduces chain oil consumption

The STIHL Ematic System reduces chain oil consumption by up to 50 % compared to conventional cutting attachments without Ematic. The STIHL Ematic system strikes the perfect balance between sufficient chain lubrication and low consumption of chain lubricant.
