Stihl 441 brake handle

[Ty Korrigan]

Is it me or are they rather fragile?

When I compare them with the all the other saws they seem far thinner, much less meat.

I've just snapped my second one and at almost £40 a pop!

I think it gets broken when kit bags are thrown on top of the saws in the truck.

Can I try a resin glue to fix it?

This one has not snapped off fully as yet.

I would try not putting stuff on top of it!

I would try not putting stuff on top of it!

 

That should defiantly work!!!

Put a box in for the saws and throw the kit bags on top of the box, security and cover.

It's going that way soon, I'm racking out the back of the Iveco after the new chipbox has been built on.

Also got to persuade people to put covers on bars and hang up their spikes to stop ripping holes in the kit bags too!

Fire all the staff and start again

You know Swinny, you're not far wrong except one of the worse culprits is also the owner of 50% of the business:thumbdown:

I still think the brake handle is fragile though, look at a 200t, far more meat on it and a far smaller saw!

It is a safety device, no bodges is a sensible way of repairing:thumbup:
