Pull start cord ?

[waterworks]

What's the best pull start cord you can buy online by the metre ?

 

I need thin for chainsaws and thicker for generators in the 3- 8 kw range.

L&S Engineers have Oregon starter cord from 3mm up to 6mm.

 

Skyland also have a pretty good range of the thinner stuff.

I've got rolls of rocwood cord, it's fine.

Get 100m rolls in a few different sizes, then you know you've always got some on the shelf in the workshop for years to come

Amazon often have it cheap, I got a couple of 3mm x100m rolls for £14 each, £22 at the moment

I also use it for other stuff, like if I want to leave an anchor point in the tree for another day, I will pull this through instead of leaving my climbing rope.

If you buy some spark plugs from L&S too then you only need a couple of pulls to start the saw, the starter cord lasts for years.

 

You can buy the Stihl part number for each saw as a 1m length of string. It costs a few pounds, so less than the whole reel but by the time you've bought a few you wish you'd bought the reel. 

 

I have a spool in the van since the cord broke on the stump grinder, the lad working for me now has his boot done up with it too. Comes in handy for all sorts.
