Why buy the STIHL GTA 26 4″ Garden Pruner (Tool Only)?

  • Individual tool without battery or charger, compatible with the STIHL AS System.
  • Versatile cordless garden pruner for pruning trees, shrubs, and cutting garden waste.
  • Powerful cutting performance from the 1/4″ PM3 saw chain and 4″ guide bar.

Versatile Cordless Pruning Power

The STIHL GTA 26 cordless garden pruner is an exceptionally versatile tool, perfectly suited for a wide range of tasks around the garden. It is the ideal choice for pruning branches, trimming hedges, maintaining small trees, and cutting up garden waste. Its compact size also makes it handy for various small DIY jobs and crafting with wood.

This model is the tool-only unit, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately. It is a fantastic option for users who already have other tools from the STIHL AS battery system. A complete kit version with battery and charger is also available.

Efficient and User-Friendly Design

Engineered for comfort and simplicity, the GTA 26 features non-slip rubberised handles that ensure excellent control and safe operation. STIHL recommends a two-handed grip for maximum stability. Key features include a practical LED charge-level indicator, allowing you to monitor the battery’s remaining capacity at the push of a button and plan your work efficiently. For safety, a hinged protective hood moves with the blade, providing protection without obstructing your view of the cut.

Maintenance is kept simple thanks to the tool-free chain replacement system. The sprocket cover is secured with a wing nut, making it easy to change the high-performance 1/4″ Picco Micro 3 (PM3) saw chain. This chain, paired with the 10 cm / 4″ Light guide bar, delivers an impressively clean and powerful cut every time. Should you require a new bar and chain, a replacement cut kit is available.

STIHL AS Battery System Performance

As part of the STIHL AS System, the GTA 26 is powered by a compact and reliable lithium-ion battery. When paired with the recommended AS 2 battery, it delivers impressive performance for its size.

Battery Model Working Time
AS 2 (Recommended) Up to 25 minutes (approx. 70 cuts in 4cm branches)

Please note: This is the tool only. Battery and charger are not included. The carry case is also not included with this version.

The GTA 26 is a versatile cordless garden pruner designed for homeowners. It excels at pruning small branches on trees and shrubs, cutting up garden waste, and even for small-scale DIY and woodworking projects.

Does this STIHL GTA 26 come with a battery and charger?

No, this specific product is the ‘Tool Only’ version. It does not include the STIHL AS 2 battery or the AL 1 charger. This is the ideal purchase for customers who already own other tools from the STIHL AS battery system. A complete kit version, which includes the battery and charger, is also available separately.

How long does the battery last on the GTA 26?

When using the recommended STIHL AS 2 battery, the GTA 26 has a working time of up to 25 minutes. In practical terms, this allows for approximately 70 cuts through 4cm thick branches on a single charge. Performance can vary depending on the type and hardness of the wood.

Is the STIHL GTA 26 easy to maintain?

Yes, the GTA 26 is designed for easy maintenance. The key feature is its tool-free chain replacement system; the sprocket cover is held on by a simple wing nut, allowing for quick and easy chain tensioning and replacement without needing any special tools.
