3-THE STIHL AK SYSTEM – CORDLESS TOOLS FOR MEDIUM-SIZED AND LARGER GARDENS

The AK System tools are impressive machines with a flexible range of applications for medium-sized and larger gardens. From mowing the lawn to cutting firewood, they are ideal if you want to tackle almost any type of job in your garden.

There are a great selection of  products in this system of cordless tools, which you can view/buy via Turner Groundscare’s  online shop by clicking on the links-

The STIHL MSA 60 C-B and MSA 70 C-B chainsaws with battery and charger Offer price £300
The BGA 57 and BGA 60 leaf blower for £120
The SHA 56 leaf blower and vacuum including battery and charger £324
The FSA 57 and FSA 60 R battery-powered grass trimmer £142.00
The HSA 50 and HSA 60 hedge trimmer and HLA 56 long-reach hedge trimmer £147.99
The RMA 235, RMA 248 and RMA 239 C cordless lawn mowers
The RLA 240 lawn scarifier £203

These products are powered by one of three interchangeable AK batteries, either the AK 10, AK 20 or AK 30, which slot directly into the machines. The batteries are all the same size so are interchangeable in the machines although, with certain tools, we do recommend the higher capacity batteries in the range to get the full power. For example, you should always use the STIHL AK 30 battery with the MSA 70 C-B chainsaw otherwise the performance will be reduced.

When you buy any AK tool, it will always be clear whether they are being sold with a battery and charger, but if you aren’t sure, just ask.

4-THE STIHL AP SYSTEM – CORDLESS TOOLS FOR LARGE GARDENS AND PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS

The AP System tools are powerful battery-powered machines with long working times, outstanding handling and useful comfort features. This extensive system has a wide range of products with interchangeable batteries. AP System tools are suitable for professional users but are also useful if you have a large garden that you want to maintain yourself. If you are using STIHL AP System tools for professional work, you’ll receive 2 year’s professional warranty on your machine as well (subject to product registration and annual servicing).

These products are powered by interchangeable STIHL AP batteries or AR L backpack batteries. The backpack batteries are designed to give the longest run times for professional use. Both types of batteries can be charged using the AL 301 or AL 500 fast charger. AP System tools either have a slot for inserting the battery directly into the machine or a socket for a connecting cable that can be connected to an AP battery in a battery belt, or to a backpack battery.

 

AP System tools are sold without a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately. Each AP System tool has a recommended battery and charger which provides the best balance in the tool, but larger capacity batteries can still be used with them for longer run times.

STIHL are continuously developing their battery technology and are launching both new battery tools and more intelligent batteries regularly. If you are thinking of investing in a battery system, you can be sure that STIHL battery tools can be relied on for years to come.
