The STIHL MS 250 is a gas-powered chainsaw with an 18-inch bar, built for firewood cutting, limb trimming and light clearing. It is known for a strong power-to-weight ratio for its class and for simple starting via a single Master Control Lever that handles choke, throttle lock and on/off. Owners and reviewers treat it as a dependable homeowner and farm saw that starts easily and holds up over years, though it is heavier and louder than battery saws and needs the usual gas-engine upkeep. It sits above the smaller MS 170 and MS 180 in power and below the pro-grade MS 261 in build and cost.

A single Master Control Lever operates the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the lever to the choke position. The filter cover removes easily for cleaning or replacing the filter.
The rear hand guard reduces the risk of injury and gives a wide area for foot placement during starting. A side-access chain tensioner lets the user adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench, instead of using a guide bar adjustment screw in the typical location. A Winter or Summer Shutter lets the carburetor operate at its optimum temperature year round. It also helps prevent carburetor icing when working below 50°F (10°C).
