Stihl Full Wrap Handles For control and handling

 

 

I asked my stihl dealer to get one initially. They just said they aren't available in the EU. Which is wank to not supply that for one of the best arb saws available when you can readily get one for a 462.

Thanks.

I contacted Ian and ordered one.

I had a slightly more sensible response from Dan @ Stihl GB.

Still doesn't make a huge amount of sense and I think it shows how much 'out of touch' Stihl GB is from it's customers.

Good morning Mr Bartlett,
 
Thank you for your further email.
 The part you are enquiring about is used on the Rescue Saw version of the MS500i which is not supplied or brought into the GB market for numerous reasons.
 
I am sorry for any disappointment caused, however should our ongoing market research deem a need for this specific machine in the future, we are happy to review it's introduction at a later date.
 
Kind regards,
 
 Dan

I've been having a right laugh dealing with a German manufacturer of a thingy for my widget. National stereotype wholly deserved. Was it car cars or supply chain you used to work for spud? A name we'd know?

No, consumer electronics of the computer type manufacturing for 20 years then spent 10 years in sales working with major PC manufacturers, distributors and resellers.

A million years ago when Husky released their first top handle,they went around giving them out. Shortly after a Stihl rep turned up after work and over a few beers asked us at Baumdienst Junge what improvements that could be made to the 020.

 

Grippy handles :Nein if its too slippy you should stop work.

 

sawdust chute : Nein use it vertically if the wind blows

 

bigger fuel tank: Nein spoils ze balance

 

More power: Nein. Use ze groß sage 

 

In short it was perfect and we didn't know that.

That is EXACTLY how it is working with them...no joke!
