Unless you do them quite a bit they are annoyingly complex. Stihl changed the design a few years back, value engineering, and they break as soon as you take them into the tree. Recently the typical break points have been beefed up a little but they still go. I've got a handle and side casing assembly from my first 200t bought in 1996. It's done countless saws in that time and the handle and break mechanism work fine. it's even got the date sticker intact to prove it.
