Description
The STIHL GTA 40 cordless pruner is a powerful, compact cutting tool designed for professional use in tree care, landscaping and construction work. Built for precision and control, it combines the performance of a chainsaw with the portability of a handheld pruner, making it ideal for pruning branches, cutting timber and working in tight or elevated spaces.
Powered by STIHL’s AS battery system, the GTA 40 uses two AS 2 lithium-ion batteries to deliver consistent, high cutting performance. Intelligent electronics ensure constant power throughout use, while the variable chain speed gives you full control depending on the task.
Fitted with a ¼” PM3 saw chain and a 15 cm guide bar, the pruner delivers clean, accurate cuts with minimal effort. Automatic chain lubrication and side-mounted chain tensioning make maintenance quick and straightforward, helping you keep the tool running efficiently on site.
Designed with usability in mind, the GTA 40 features a compact, ergonomic build with a soft-grip handle and balanced weight distribution for comfortable two-handed operation. The integrated attachment ring allows you to secure the tool when working at height, while the ambidextrous controls make it easy to use for both left- and right-handed users.
With IPX4-rated splash protection, the GTA 40 is built for reliable use in a range of weather conditions. Whether you’re working on the ground or in the canopy, it’s a practical, high-performance solution for professional cutting tasks.
Available options:
- Tool only – ideal if you already have compatible AS system batteries and charger
- Kit – includes batteries and charger, ready to use straight out of the box
