The STIHL MS 172 C-E is a gas-powered homeowner chainsaw with a 16-inch STIHL ROLLOMATIC guide bar. Its headline feature is STIHL Easy2Start, which uses a spring-assisted mechanism so a light pull starts the engine instead of a hard yank. A side-access chain tensioner, Master Control Lever and a diagnostic socket round out the package. It sits above the smallest entry saws in ease of starting and service access, but it is a occasional-use homeowner tool, not a pro saw: plastic housings, a modest engine and a heavier build than battery saws in the same class.

Owner discussion of the MS 172 C-E centers on easy starting and simple maintenance for light home use. Most see it as a dependable occasional-use saw rather than a pro tool.
The STIHL MS 172 C-E is a gas-powered chainsaw with a 31.8 cc engine rated at 1.9 bhp. It comes with a 16-inch STIHL ROLLOMATIC guide bar and a STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, which has grooves that channel oil to critical wear areas. Housings are made of high-tech polymer that is lightweight, impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
STIHL Easy2Start lets a quick pull overcome the engine's compression, so starting takes less strength and effort. The Master Control Lever is a single lever that operates the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch. The IntelliCarb compensating carburetor automatically adjusts the air/fuel ratio as the air filter becomes restricted, to maintain the correct engine RPM. A side-access chain tensioner lets you adjust the chain with a bar wrench. The translucent fuel tank shows the fuel level, and the easy-access air filter cover comes off for cleaning or replacement.
Safety and control features include a STIHL Quickstop chain brake, front and rear hand guards, a throttle trigger lockout and bumper spikes. The chain brake is designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. The anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue. A diagnostic socket lets a STIHL dealer read operating time and diagnostic information. The saw also features reduced exhaust emissions.
