Full wrap handles

[DomT]

Hello,

 

ive just been searching around and didn’t know your thoughts on full wrap handles and their usefulness? I’ve got an MS400CM and wondered if I could get a full wrap for it or if it was worth it. I can find them easily for bigger saws but not really sub 70cc ones. 
 

cheers!

They do take some getting use to, but are handy on some work find it good when in MEWP aslo working on river bank and you can only cut from one side. 

Got mine on a husky 362xp.

Some will slate them/hate them. They do make the saw bulkier for storage/snedding, but are nice for climbing, and a good excuse not to have to cut stumps too low. Just sell the idea of grinding it out to the client instead.

I was just going to say the opposite, makes it hard to flush a stump. But, the grinders are sooo much nicer than the ones we had 30 years ago. We had a Vermeer model 15 that was 8 feet wide and would beat the death out of a 3/4 ton pickup. Like an F250. We pulled it with a 12' stake body 1 ton. Then we had a Vermeer 630A that I towed with a pick up, then moved around the job site with a John Deere 265. The tires would rotate in, so it could fit through a 36" gate, then rotate back out to grind. Anyway, in the States, the West Coast guys have to have a full wrap, as an East Coast, residential climber, I never used one, so I never missed one. I have full wraps on several of my 90-100CC saws, but they are just shelf queens in my collection. I made it 50 years of residential work with out one, and I made it to retirement in one piece, Joe.
