Overview
About the Company
A commonly seen name in hardware stores and DIYers’ garages worldwide, Stihl manufactures handheld power tools, including leaf blowers, trimmers, mowers, and—most famously—chainsaws. Stihl actually invented the first chainsaw that could be operated by one person in 1930, although it didn’t really catch on until the economy bounced back from the Great Depression. These days, however, Stihl is the number-one seller of chainsaws worldwide and manufactures a variety of tools to keep a yard in tiptop shape, whether you’re a homeowner or a professional.
