Stihl ASA 20 Cordless Secateurs – 25mm Cut

The Stihl ASA 20 Cordless Secateurs combine speed, control, and comfort for efficient pruning of trees, shrubs, and plants. Part of the AS System, they run on the AS 2 lithium-ion battery and can cut material up to 25 mm in diameter.

Weighing just 0.8 kg, the ASA 20 features two selectable blade opening widths, progressive cut control, and an OLED display showing battery level, blade setting, and cut count. With up to 2000 cuts per charge, they’re built for both regular garden care and longer pruning sessions.

Why Choose the Stihl ASA 20 Cordless Secateurs?

The ASA 20 is built for faster, easier pruning without sacrificing accuracy. It’s part of the Stihl AS System, meaning the same AS 2 battery can be used across other compact Stihl tools. Designed for both domestic and professional use, it handles green material up to 25 mm thick with ease.

Who They’re Designed For

Gardeners, landscapers, and grounds teams looking to reduce hand fatigue and speed up repetitive pruning tasks. Also well-suited to those who already own an AS System battery and want another compatible tool.

Key Strengths

• Two blade opening widths for efficient work on thin or thick branches
• Progressive cut control for precise trimming
• Clear OLED display with live tool data
• Integrated on-board tool for maintenance and blade changes
• Lightweight, well-balanced design for long periods of use
• Up to 2000 cuts per charge with AS 2 battery

Cutting Capability

The ASA 20 cordless secateurs are built to handle a wide variety of pruning jobs. With a maximum cutting thickness of 25 mm, they can tackle:

• Green branches and shoots on trees and shrubs
• Woody stems on bushes and ornamentals
• Light orchard pruning
• Garden plants with thicker stalks
• Dead or damaged growth for seasonal maintenance

The progressive cut control allows you to slow the blade for delicate stems or apply full pressure for tougher growth, making the ASA 20 effective across different plant types without switching tools.

Compatible Carrying System for the STIHL ASA 20

The STIHL ASA 20 works seamlessly with the ADVANCE X-FLEX waist belt and the ADVANCE X-FLEX ASA holster. Together, they provide a secure, hands-free way to carry the secateurs, keeping them protected and immediately accessible while reducing downtime and the risk of damage during repeated pruning work.
