There are many brands of chain saws on the market today. Perhaps one of the most popular name brands is STIHL, which is actually the second leading manufacturer of such products, holding a close second to the company Husqvarna. The STIHL company not only makes chainsaws, but they also manufacture blowers, trimmers and the STIHL concrete saw line.
The first STIHL chainsaw was developed and built by hand back in the year 1926, by a man named Andreas Stihl. His first attempt at making a chain saw produced a rather heavy piece of equipment; one weighing around 140 pounds. The saw was powered by electricity and grew popular very quickly with many individuals. Because the United States faced the Great Depression around the same time the STIHL’s chainsaws went on the market, the company grew slowly at first. However, it didn’t take long for STIHL to be the leading name in commercial, mid-range and occasional use chainsaws.
While chain saws are mostly used for the purpose of cutting down trees and sawing up firewood, these power saws do have other purposes. Tree surgeons use chainsaws in order to remove foliage and branches from trees, while those who work in the forestry profession might use a chain saw in order to cut a fire line to prevent forest fires from spreading. There is also chainsaw art, which is gaining more and more popularity and involves the carving of figures and designs out of pieces of wood. Many individuals who practice this art form can easily reproduce statues of animals, scenes and even people with great ease.
STIHL chain saws have been popular ever since they were first introduced back in the 1920′s. Andreas Stihl designed and manufactured his first chain saw, which weighed a whopping 140 pounds and built a company that today is one of the leading manufacturers of chainsaws and other products. Today, the STIHL saws are used to trim tree limbs, saw down trees, cut fire lines and even to make chainsaw carving art. This brand name manufacturers many different styles of chainsaws and offers models that will fit any need, whether it is for personal home use or for commercial purposes.
