Andreas Stihl designed and hand built his first chainsaw in 1926. [5] The saw was electrically powered, and weighed about 48 kg (106 lb). [6] Stihl grew slowly initially, as the chainsaws came to the market about the same time as the Great Depression; with manpower cheap, and old two-man saws proven, there was no need for power saws.
Stihl manufactures a hybrid four stroke engine trimmer that still requires oil to be pre-mixed into the fuel. [citation needed] Battery-powered string trimmers offer cleaner alternatives to consumers by producing zero emissions, being more efficient, and eliminating risks of spilled gasoline. [7]
