The Stihl MS250 chainsaw is designed for firewood cutting with a great power-to-weight ratio. Compared to the Stihl MS 230 model, the MS 250 is light enough to move through smaller tasks like clearing or cleanup but packs a powerful enough punch to cut through small limbs and trees. A combination of features and a high power-to-weight ratio makes this one of the best homeowner chainsaws on the market.
