Only 4,500 units were made, according to the corrected count shared during Main Street Mower's unboxing. The shop received one and plans to give it to a subscriber instead of selling or keeping it.

The giveaway includes the full collector-style package: the box, pedestal, black chain, specialty file, lightweight bar, and saw itself. This isn't an ordinary product sale. The video first needs to reach 10,000 likes.

• The STIHL MS 500i Centennial Edition was limited to 4,500 units, making it a rare collector-style chainsaw.

• Main Street Mower is giving away its complete package, including the saw, presentation box, pedestal, black Hexa chain, specialty file, and Light X guide bar.

• The giveaway unlocks when the unboxing video reaches 10,000 likes; entrants must like the video, subscribe to Main Street Mower, and leave a comment.

• The Centennial Edition combines the MS 500i's professional-grade performance with black-and-wood-grain styling, a gold muffler, matching accessories, and Centennial details.

• The winner can decide whether to preserve the saw as a display piece or put the limited-edition chainsaw to work in the woods.

The Centennial Edition chainsaw celebrates 100 years of STIHL chainsaw history. Its large presentation box uses wood-ring artwork that traces the company's history from its origin through the present. It sets the tone before the saw even comes out.

At first, the hosts believed only 500 saws had been made. Stu later corrected that number to 4,500 units. Even with the higher count, they described it as a small run, especially compared with a standard production saw.

Authorized STIHL dealers received these saws for display, rather than as ordinary inventory intended for sale.

The hosts said people have been trying to track down, hoard, and flip this limited edition chainsaw. Customers have reportedly made strong offers to dealers with one on display. One dealer friend reportedly sold one for about $4,000.

That demand puts the giveaway in a different light. Some owners preserve the saw as a collector saw, while others may sell it or keep it on display. Main Street Mower chose to use its saw to help grow the channel toward 100,000 subscribers.

The team had seen online photos of the saw, but nobody had handled one in person. Once the pallet arrived at the shop, everyone wanted to open it. They held off for several days so the power head and complete presentation package could be revealed on camera.

The winner receives the box along with the saw and its display accessories. The hosts also discussed signing the box if viewers wanted that, or signing a hat and mailing it separately if they preferred to keep the packaging untouched.

The first piece out of the box was a black scabbard. The hosts liked its appearance and pointed out that it has its own part number. They wondered whether it might be ordered separately as one of the available replacement parts, though that availability wasn't confirmed.

That small detail matched the rest of the package. The Centennial Edition does not stop at a special paint scheme on the saw. Its accessories have their own coordinated presentation.

A display stand comes in a separate brown box. It uses the same wood-grain styling found throughout the Centennial package and carries the words "Legendary Since 1926" with a Centennial "100" graphic.

The pedestal has its own part number and comes with simple assembly instructions that the hosts compared to IKEA-style directions. Once assembled, the saw sits on top, turning the kit into a mantel-worthy display.

The unboxing also revealed a special edition RAPID HEXA saw chain, Hexa file, and Light X guide bar. Together with the pedestal, these pieces make the Centennial Edition feel like a complete collector package rather than a standard saw with a different exterior.

The included chain is all black, which immediately stood out to the hosts. It uses the Hexa chisel style, giving this special edition chain a distinctive appearance. The team commented on how unusual the black finish looked compared with an ordinary chain.

While handling it, they also shared a trick for untangling a chain. Their method is to find a certain loop or shape within the tangle, then flip the chain inside out from that point. They described it as a crude but useful trick, with a joke that it works "60% of the time, every time."

Chainsaw tip: When a chain tangles, the hosts look for the right loop or shape before turning the chain inside out.

The kit includes a dedicated Hexa file with a light-colored wooden handle. The hosts weren't sure whether the handle was beechwood or maple, but they pointed out the quality and the hexagonal shape of the file itself.

The Light X guide bar also continues the Centennial look. It has the wood-grain design, a "100" marking, and a lightweight, feather-bar feel. The hosts said it felt noticeably light in hand and fit the saw's design well.

When the saw came out of the box, its black design made the strongest first impression. The hosts said the surface looked better in person than in photos, with matte black areas, a glossy white line, and wood-grain details carried across the design.

The full saw has a dark, almost Batman-like appearance once the bar is installed. One host joked that it looked like something Batman would use to cut through the Riddler's door.

Several features caught the team's attention as they worked their way around the saw:

• The saw has all-black dogs and matching black caps with gray lines.

• A gold muffler provides one of the strongest contrasts against the black body.

• The front case has a special finish, while the case uses magnesium components.

• Centennial markings and wood-grain graphics run through the design.

• Fall lines remain visible for lining up cutting sight lines.

The completed saw looked especially sharp on its matching pedestal. The video closes with views from the front, back, side, front-side, and back-side angles so viewers can see the finish and accessories as a full set.

The hosts called the Centennial Edition a fitting tribute to the fuel-injected MS 500i. They described it as successful, powerful, balanced, light, and well protected by its anti-vibration system.

The video setup uses a 25-inch bar. STIHL describes the MS 500i gasoline chainsaw as a high-power model with electronic fuel injection and an intelligent injection system. Its STIHL 2-MIX engine, top chain speed, and power-to-weight ratio support professional-grade performance without requiring specific claims about the limited-edition accessories.

Main Street Mower also carries the standard STIHL MS 500i with electronic fuel injection. The STIHL MS 500i Centennial Edition adds a limited-run black-and-wood-grain treatment, matching bar and chain, display stand, and other presentation details.

The hosts explored the dilemma of owning a collectible working saw. Its limited production, special finish, and dealer-display status make a strong case for preserving it. Still, it was built to cut wood.

They compared that choice with collectible baseball cards and guns. A rare baseball card may stay perfect in a collection, while a collectible gun can feel more meaningful when it's used.

One host hoped the winner would feel free to use the saw since they didn't have to pay for it. The team liked imagining the Centennial Edition after five years of commercial work, worn in and still doing the job.

They also acknowledged that the winner might keep using a regular MS 362 while leaving this saw untouched. Either choice returns to the same question raised throughout the video: Would you display this saw, or put it to work in the woods?

The hosts described it as a piece of Americana, connected to STIHL's 100-year theme, chainsaw culture, and tree work.

The saw stays locked up until the giveaway requirements are met. This is a giveaway, not a pre-order, and the 10,000-like milestone triggers it instead of a separate launch date. Entry has three parts:

2. Subscribe to Main Street Mower. The selected winner must be a subscriber.

3. Leave a comment on the video. Any comment qualifies, including a playful one. The team said commenters don't have to be nice to be included.

Only after the video reaches the like goal will Main Street Mower place every commenter into a random drawing. The team will contact the winner through YouTube, then decide how to deliver the saw. Depending on where the winner lives, they may ship it, drive it over, or possibly fly it there.

Everything featured in Main Street Mower's showroom is available through the shop's online equipment inventory. The team says products ship directly from the showroom.

STIHL produced 4,500 units of the Centennial Edition. The corrected count was shared during Main Street Mower's unboxing.

This giveaway is not a pre-order or ordinary product sale. The saws were supplied to authorized STIHL dealers for display, and Main Street Mower plans to give its unit to one subscriber.

Yes, the MS 500i Centennial Edition is a working chainsaw, so the winner may choose to use it. However, its limited production, special finish, and complete collector packaging also make it suitable for preservation or display.

The STIHL MS 500i Centennial Edition pairs a 25-inch setup with an all-black chain, gold muffler, lightweight bar, specialty file, and display pedestal. Only 4,500 were made, and Main Street Mower plans to give this one away instead of selling it.

For the winner, the toughest choice may be whether to protect the Centennial Edition as a display piece or put it to years of work in the woods.
