STIHL GTA 40 Battery Garden Pruner (KIT)
SKU/Model: GTA-40-(KIT)
The STIHL GTA 40 Battery Garden Pruner (KIT) delivers commercial-grade, handheld cutting performance engineered specifically for in-tree professional use, landscaping, and advanced tree-care tasks. Driven by a high-efficiency brushless motor, this cordless tool offers an incredible 520 W of power, unleashing 90% more power and double the cutting capacity of previous generations like the GTA 26. Whether you are clearing thick overgrowth, trimming hard-to-reach limbs, or sizing timber on a job site, this specialized kit provides a lightweight, emission-free solution that behaves with the structural muscle of a full-scale chainsaw in a highly maneuverable frame.
Engineered for maximum endurance and productivity, the STIHL GTA 40 features an innovative double battery compartment designed to hold two power cells simultaneously. Operating on the ultra-reliable STIHL AS 2 battery system, it achieves up to 190 cuts on a full charge or up to 50 minutes of continuous runtime. To ensure uncompromised efficiency, its integrated Constant Power electronics maintain consistently high cutting performance regardless of the battery’s remaining charge state. The kit comes fully equipped for immediate operation, including two AS 2 batteries, an AL 5-2 high-speed charger, and a rugged, hard plastic carrying case engineered to securely organize the tool, lubricating oil, and up to six batteries.
Precision and ease of maintenance are at the forefront of this tool’s design. The pruner is paired with a premium 6-inch LIGHT 01 guide bar and a 1/4-inch PM3 saw chain, ensuring clean, precise cuts through branches up to 5 inches in diameter. Unlike entry-level models, the GTA 40 boasts an automatic chain oiler supplied by an onboard oil reservoir, significantly reducing upkeep and extending the working life of your bar and chain. For added on-the-job convenience, a side-access chain tensioner allows quick adjustments using a bar wrench, while toolless bar and chain removal simplifies routine servicing.
Safety and durability remain paramount in demanding field environments. This heavy-duty pruner is built with an IPX4 weather-resistance rating, providing vital splash-water protection during damp conditions or light rain. The advanced ergonomic housing includes rubber overmolding for a confident grip, an ambidextrous thumb safety switch, and a robust trigger-switch lockout to prevent accidental activation. Additionally, it features built-in dual metal tether points and a split ring for securing the tool safely to a safety harness or tool belt when operating at elevated heights, making it an indispensable asset for trained arborists and selective yard warriors alike.
