Stihl Earth Auger BT121

Comfortable one-man earth auger with vibration-reducing handles. Includes innovative QuickStop drill brake, which brings to a halt as soon as the drill jams in the ground. Particularly suitable for a large variety of purposes, from drilling simple holes in the ground to taking soil samples. Extensive choice in drilling tools for holes up to 200 mm in diameter.

Standard features

Multi-function handle
All operating elements for the engine control are integrated into the right-hand handle. The machine is operated by finger pressure so that your hand remains in a working position.

Long-life air filter system
Long-life air filter system reduces the frequency of filter cleaning required.

QuickStop drill brake
Die QuickStop-Bohrerbremse mit Auslösehebel hält den Bohrer sofort an, wenn er sich im Erdreich verhakt und der Bediener dadurch mit dem Oberschenkel den Auslösehebel betätigt. Sie dient auch als Rückdrehsperre – ein fest sitzender Bohrer kann einfach manuell herausgedreht werden. (Abb. ähnlich)

STIHL ElastoStart
STIHL ElastoStart reduces the shock caused by the compression of the engine during starting. The compression shock is taken away from the user’s joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.

Additional stop switch on handlebar
Additional stop switch on handlebar for additional safety, so that the engine can be shut down by operating either the stop switch on the powerhead or the stop switch on the handlebar.

Hip padding
During use the hip pad is positioned comfortably close to the body or leg of the operator, making the auger safe and easy to use.

Vibration dampening frame
The vibration-dampening frame with four vibration elements provides comfortable working and reduces fatigue when drilling. The engine is positioned separately from the handle frame, allowing easier working over longer periods.
