Husqvarna's Rear Handle Chainsaw tools strop eyelet

[Jamie Jones]

I have seen the Husqvarna arborist's tools eyelet and wondered if any could tell me if it will fit on the following Husqvarna chainsaws:
Husqvarna 550 XP Mk2
Husqvarna 550 XP Mk1
Husqvarna 562 XP Mk2
The reason for asking is because it doesn't say which chainsaws it fits, and I would guess that different models will have different size and shape rear handles.

It will fit 550 mk2 will also fit a stihl 441 & 461 at a push I can’t help with other models

Is it really necessary? 
Just slip a Krab around the handle, easy peasy.

This or larks foot your strop round the handle.

Never liked putting a crab through the handle, there's the potential for it to lock the dead man's handle closed and potentially the trigger too. I know it's highly unlikely.

 

If stihl did these I'd definitely have one for the 500 and 660, just for ease of attachment

Just have a concern the the carabiner could lock the trigger on. For what little it. Costs, it seems a no brainer as long as it fits 😏

So put the chain brake on, or cinch the krab on itself so it won’t budge.

Put some anti leopard spray on your harness in case of attack, it never ends.

Boys and their toys cant wait to spend their money. I know its tax deductable but watch the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.

A guy I know locked a binner on the trigger....result 2 fingers gone, and had to pulled of the tree.

In big saws I girth hitch a micro strap(custom made) that cames off when not up a tree.
