STIHL PL 40

STIHL’s Largest Lopper
The PL 40 is STIHL’s largest lopper, built for higher tree branches that defy lesser tools.

32-Inch Handles for Greater Leverage
Long, 32-inch handles give you the extra leverage needed to cut through thick, tough branches.

Maximum-Duty Manual Pruning
When the PL 40 can’t finish the cut, STIHL says it’s time to reach for a saw — a sign of just how much cutting power it delivers.

Reach Branches Without a Ladder
Extended reach lets you prune overhead branches safely, without climbing.

Cuts Branches Up to 2 Inches
The PL 40 handles branches up to 2 inches in diameter in a single cut.

Offset Blade Design
An offset blade shape is engineered for a clean, efficient cut through thick wood.

Alloy Steel Blade
An alloy steel blade holds a sharp edge through repeated heavy-duty use.

Consistent, Clean Cuts
The cutting head is designed to deliver a clean cut every time, minimizing damage to the branch.

Aircraft Aluminum Construction
Aircraft aluminum handles keep the PL 40 strong without adding unnecessary weight.

2.7-Pound Weight
At just 2.7 pounds, the PL 40 stays easy to maneuver even during extended overhead work.

Less Fatigue on Longer Jobs
A lightweight build means less arm and shoulder fatigue when pruning multiple branches.

Durable Enough for Regular Use
Aircraft-grade construction is built to hold up to seasonal pruning work year after year.

Resharpenable Cutting Blade
The blade can be resharpened using a file or honing stone, so a dull edge is never the end of the tool.

Replaceable Blade
A replaceable blade design means you can restore full cutting performance without buying a new lopper.

Lower Long-Term Cost
Being able to sharpen and replace the blade keeps the PL 40 working season after season.

Ready When You Need It
A quick sharpening keeps the blade cutting cleanly right when a job calls for it.

No Fuel, Battery, or Charging Required
The PL 40 is ready to work anytime, with no fuel, battery, or charge time to think about.

Quiet, Emission-Free Operation
A fully manual design means quiet operation with zero exhaust or noise concerns.

Low-Maintenance Tool
With no engine or motor, there’s little to maintain beyond keeping the blade sharp.

A Dependable Grab-and-Go Tool
Simple, manual operation means it’s always ready the moment you need it.

Ideal for Fruit Trees & Ornamentals
Use the PL 40 to shape and maintain fruit trees, ornamentals, and other overhead growth.

Handles Thick Shrub Growth
Its 2-inch cutting capacity makes quick work of thick shrub branches, too.

A Fit for Homeowners and Pros Alike
Whether maintaining a home landscape or running a property maintenance crew, the PL 40 delivers dependable results.

A Dependable Addition to the Equipment Lineup
Pair it with your other STIHL pruning tools for a complete, well-maintained property.
