STIHL is marking an incredible milestone this year. 2026 brings 100 years of engineering, innovation and industry leadership. For us at Dick Leigh LLP, this anniversary feels especially meaningful.
As an approved STIHL dealer, we’ve spent decades supplying, servicing and supporting STIHL equipment for professionals and domestic users alike. STIHL tools have played a big part in the work our customers do every day and in the growth of our very own business.
To celebrate 100 years, STIHL has released something truly special:
Limited. Legendary. The STIHL MS 500i Centennial Edition.
A Chainsaw That Changed the Industry
The STIHL MS 500i is already well known among professional users. As the world’s first chainsaw with electronically controlled fuel injection, it set a new standard for performance, acceleration and reliability.
We’ve seen first-hand how the MS 500i performs in real working conditions and why it’s become a go-to choice for forestry professionals and arborists who demand power without compromise.
The Centennial Edition builds on that legacy, combining the same unmatched performance with an exclusive anniversary design.
The MS 500i Centennial Edition – What Makes It Special
This strictly limited edition has been released to mark STIHL’s 100th year and won’t be around for long.
- Exclusive bold black Centennial design
- Proven MS 500i performance and power-to-weight ratio
- Electronically controlled fuel injection for instant acceleration
- A true collector’s piece for professionals and STIHL enthusiasts
It’s not just another chainsaw – it’s a statement piece.
