Overview

The STIHL MS 382 Petrol Chain Saw (ES 63cm/25″, 36RS) is a high-performance, heavy-duty professional chainsaw engineered for demanding forestry operations, harvesting large-diameter timber, logging, and heavy wood cutting. As the modern successor to the legendary MS 381, the MS 382 delivers an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, high torque across all engine speeds, and rugged durability built to withstand extreme operational conditions in forestry and agricultural environments.

Powered by a robust 72.2 cc 2-stroke engine producing 3.9 kW (5.3 hp), the MS 382 comes equipped with a 63 cm (25-inch) Rollomatic ES guide bar and a high-performance 3/8″ 36RS (Rapid Super) full-chisel saw chain for aggressive, rapid piercing and cross-cutting. It features an advanced anti-vibration system, side-mounted chain tensioner, tool-free fuel caps, and the STIHL ElastoStart system combined with a decompression valve to ensure smooth, effortless engine starting.

Key Features & Benefits
