STIHL Launches Its First Battery-Powered Snow Thrower, the SFA 120, Celebrating Its 100th Anniversary

STIHL's SFA 120: A Winter Game Changer

As winter approaches and the last leaves fall from the trees, outdoor chores are far from over. Recognizing this seasonal necessity, STIHL proudly announces the launch of its first-ever battery-powered snow thrower, the SFA 120. This innovative product not only marks a significant milestone in STIHL's history as the company celebrates its 100th anniversary, but it also showcases the brand's commitment to enhancing outdoor work efficiency during the colder months.

Introducing the SFA 120

The SFA 120 is specifically designed to tackle winter's challenges head-on, delivering the powerful performance STIHL is known for. Whether dealing with light powder or wet snow, this snow thrower is equipped to handle various snow conditions. With a 22-inch clearing width, the SFA 120 efficiently clears driveways and walkways, making it an essential tool for homeowners looking to maintain accessibility during the snowy season.

Features Designed for Efficiency

The SFA 120 is powered by STIHL's advanced ALLPRO battery system, which allows for impressive runtime and dependability even in frigid temperatures as low as -4°F. The snow thrower features two battery bays that automatically switch to the second battery when the first one is depleted, ensuring that work continues without interruption. This design eliminates the hassle of gas engines and pull cords, providing a user-friendly experience.

One notable feature is its metal-framed steel auger, which comes equipped with replaceable rubber paddles. These paddles help absorb impacts from rough driveway surfaces, extending the tool's longevity while reducing stress on the auger itself. Additionally, the chute can rotate 180 degrees and is easily adjustable from the handlebar, allowing users to redirect snow as needed without stopping to make adjustments.

Engineered for Visibility

Safety and functionality are paramount in outdoor power equipment, and the SFA 120 incorporates bright LED headlights that illuminate the work area, ensuring visibility even during the darkest winter days. After a job well done, users can conveniently fold the handlebar for compact storage, making it easy to tuck away until the next snowfall.

A Natural Expansion

Paul Beblowski, Senior Product Manager at STIHL, emphasizes that snow removal is a natural extension of their existing product range. “STIHL has spent a century helping people care for the outdoors, and that work doesn’t stop when the growing season ends,” he stated. The SFA 120 allows loyal customers who trust STIHL for their lawn care and landscaping needs to adapt seamlessly to winter, leveraging their existing battery systems year-round.

Availability and Pricing

The SFA 120 is available now through STIHL's extensive network of over 10,000 authorized dealers across the nation. The tool can be purchased as a stand-alone item for $699.99, or as part of a complete set that includes one AP 300.0 P battery and the AL 301 charger for $899.99. This flexibility allows homeowners to choose the option that best fits their winter maintenance needs.
