I broke another chain brake band last week, and was pleased to see that Husky have changed the design and removed what seems to be an obvious (and pointless?) weak point.

 

Hopefully this one will last for a bit longer...

Had the upgraded part for coming on a year now. Good news is it's holding up well. The original design was lasting around 3 months depending on who was using the saw.

Fitted a brake-band to the 545 about five weeks ago. The old one and new one are of the same split end design. You can guess where the old one snapped and I'm guessing the replacement will snap at the same point. I didn't know there was an upgrade/better designed band. Will have to get one of those next time round. Are there different part numbers for the two brake-bands?
