STIHL GTA 30 (AS) 6″ Cordless Pruner (Kit)

Why buy the STIHL GTA 30 (AS) 6″ Cordless Pruner (Kit)? Complete kit includes 2x AS 2 batteries, AL 5-2 high-speed charger, and a practical storage case. Versatile and powerful for pruning trees, shrubs, cutting garden waste, and small DIY projects. Features a 15 cm / 6″ guide bar for greater reach than the GTA 26 model. Lightweight at just 1.5 kg (without battery) with ergonomic, non-slip handles for excellent control. Innovative tool-free ‘RightTight’ chain tensioning for quick and easy adjustments. On-board LED indicator provides a clear view of the remaining battery charge at all times. Powerful & Versatile Cordless Pruning The STIHL GTA 30 cordless garden pruner is an exceptionally powerful and versatile tool, expertly designed for a range of pruning jobs around the garden. It is perfect for homeowners with larger gardens, excelling at trimming branches and shrubs, cutting up garden waste, and even tackling small DIY tasks with remarkable ease. Comfort and simplicity are central to the GTA 30’s design. It features non-slip rubberised handles, ensuring excellent control and reducing fatigue, even during extended use. The pruner is fitted with a 15 cm (approx. 6″) guide bar, which provides extra reach compared to the popular GTA 26 model, making it the ideal choice for tackling larger pruning jobs. Despite its increased power and longer bar, the tool remains lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, making it suitable for gardeners of all abilities. Efficient Cutting & Smart Design For a consistently smooth and efficient cut, the GTA 30 utilises a 1/4″ PM3 saw chain, known for its low vibration and high cutting performance. Chain maintenance is brilliantly simple thanks to STIHL’s newly designed ‘RightTight’ spring-loaded tensioning mechanism. To adjust, you simply fold out the handle on the sprocket cover and rotate it 90 degrees to automatically set the correct tension without any tools. Chain lubrication is also straightforward; just apply lubricant directly onto the chain. This pruner operates using two AS 2 batteries simultaneously, which are discharged in parallel for constant power delivery. The tool will not function with only one battery installed. A clear LED charge-level indicator is conveniently located on the top of the tool, allowing you to plan your work effectively.
