The STIHL BT 121 one-man earth auger sets new standards for performance and operational convenience. Anti-vibration enhancement of the frame grip and the new, large-surface contact cushion ensure that this power tool has extremely low vibration levels. Its powerful petrol engine and robust drill transmission with high torque lend the STIHL BT 121 the requisite power to effortlessly drill holes with diameters of up to 20 cm.
Exemplary safety and operating efficiency
It's not just the low vibration levels that make the STIHL BT 121 one-man earth auger such a joy to use. This power tool has been thoroughly designed for convenience, from the STIHL quick-start system to the multifunction handle, which integrates all the engine control functions in the hand grip. Furthermore, its low weight and compact dimensions enable easy transport from one working site to the next. The closed construction of the carrying frame protects the engine from damages during transportation.

This powerful drill is always ready for a wide range of applications, such as drilling planting holes in the ground – or puncturing the earth for fencing posts, support pillars and marker poles.
As far as safety is concerned, the innovative QuickStop drill brake also sets new standards. This feature is tripped by the operator's upper thigh if the drill jams in the ground, bringing the drill to an immediate standstill – and thereby ensuring that further jamming is avoided.
Multi-function handle
All the engine control functions are integrated into the soft handle. The machine is controlled by finger pressure –so your hand always remains in working position.
STIHL quick-start system
STIHL ElastoStart and the manual fuel pump ensure a convenient start-up without kickbacks.
STIHL long-life filter system
Together with the compensator integrated in the carburetor, the air filtration system reliably protects the engine and requires only infrequent cleaning.
Large-surface contact cushion
The new large-surface contact cushion rests against your body or leg while drilling.
This reduces vibrations while allowing precision control of the drill.
Low-vibration frame grip
The newly designed frame grip reduces vibrations by more than two-thirds compared to the previous model. This reduces fatigue, allowing you to save your strength over longer periods.
QuickStop drill brake
The innovative STIHL Quick-Stop drill brake is a decisive factor in work safety. The brake is triggered by the operator's thigh as soon as the drill jams in the ground, bringing it to an immediate standstill. The jammed drill can then easily be unscrewed from the bore hole.
