It's a great time to get outside and clean up the yard. After a long winter, it's always nice to tidy up, and having the right tool makes it way more fun. And now, STIHL has a solid deal that makes it even easier to get started or add to your gear.

From April 14 through June 15, get a second AS 2 replacement battery for free when you buy the GTA 26 Cordless Pruner Kit. This cordless garden pruner reads like a mini chainsaw. Its four-inch bar is powerful enough to cut through limbs up to 2 inches in diameter, and it does with a quick zoom-zip. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading from manual pruning tools, this is a good time.

Simple Design; Excellent Cutting Performance

We’ve used and own a lot of STIHL’s battery-powered tools, and honestly, we love them. They’re easy to handle, run quietly, and work hard.

The GTA 26 is one of those tools you pick up and wonder why and how you stuck with old pruning shears for so long. It’s compact, cordless, and surprisingly powerful. Great for regular pruning tasks, clearing garden waste, or trimming back small limbs before they become big problems.

Because it’s powered by a lithium battery, there’s no gas and no pull-start... and, remember, it's a cordless tool. Just press a button, and you’re working. The ergonomic handle makes it easy on your wrists and reduces wrist torsion. It’s also lightweight enough for long sessions in the yard without fatigue.

Another bonus? There’s a clear built-in indicator light, so you know the battery status and level of charge while you work. Once the battery power gets low, swap it with your free spare and keep going... no delay while waiting for your battery to recharge.

Great for DIY Projects and Weekend Yard Work

Not every outdoor task calls for a full-size chainsaw or hedge trimmer. This is where a tool like the GTA 26 really shines. It's made for quick cleanups and backyard jobs that don't need bulk.

With its sharp cutting blade and chain speed built for control, it can zip through branches cleanly without damaging surrounding plants; it's also good for rough cuts on lumber. The included Chain Guard adds safety when storing or moving the pruner. And when you do need to replace parts, the removable bar and chain offer tool-less replacement, which is quick and simple.

Here’s what we like most about it:

  • Cordless and compact design
  • Consistent power and smooth cuts
  • Lightweight versatility with ergonomic design
  • Easy-to-read battery indicator lights
  • No gas, no noise, no mess
  • Built-in safety instructions and user-friendly design
