STIHL GTA 26 Cordless Garden Pruner
Battery, compatible battery platform
Overview
The STIHL GTA 26 is a compact AS System garden pruner built around a 10cm guide bar and 1/4in PM3 chain. It is intended for pruning, garden-waste reduction and light DIY jobs rather than full-size chainsaw work. The tool weighs around 1.2kg, runs for up to 25 minutes with the AS 2 battery and uses a hinged protective hood over the chain. STIHL specifically requires two-handed operation, which is an important distinction from how compact pruning saws are sometimes marketed.
