AP Strop Adapter MSA T
The AP Strop Adapter MSA T is a professional accessory designed for use with STIHL top-handle AP chainsaws during tree maintenance. It transfers battery weight from the saw to your climbing harness, improving balance and reducing user fatigue. As a result, you work more comfortably and can maintain high precision over extended periods.
Enhanced Climbing Ergonomics
By relocating the battery to a holster on your harness, the adapter significantly improves the saw’s power-to-weight ratio. Consequently, you experience less arm strain during overhead and climbing operations, making it easier to work efficiently and precisely at height. In addition, this setup helps you maintain better posture, reducing the risk of fatigue-related errors.
Integrated Safety Features
The strop serves a dual function as fall protection for your saw. Its holster includes an emergency release and overload protection, which engage if the saw becomes stuck or is dropped. Therefore, it minimizes damage to the tool and enhances safety for the operator.
Compatible with STIHL AP Tools and Batteries
This adapter fits perfectly with STIHL top-handle models: MSA 161 T, MSA 190 T, MSA 220 T, and MSA 220 TC-O. Furthermore, it supports AP System batteries such as AP 200 S, AP 300 S, and AP 500 S. Thus, it integrates seamlessly into your existing STIHL AP ecosystem.
Simple and Secure Setup
Using the adapter is straightforward: attach the holster ring to your climbing harness carabiner, insert the adapter into the chainsaw’s battery compartment, and connect the saw via the metal carabiner. Finally, place the AP battery in the holster. This setup is fast, secure, and easy to manage even during demanding operations.
Durable, Replaceable Design
The protective sleeve of the strop is replaceable, ensuring long-term usability even after rough use. Moreover, the design’s robust materials and dependable fittings provide lasting performance in challenging outdoor environments.
