Simple chainsaw mod i come up with

[4x4American]

Now I'm not sure if i'm the only person in the world to think of this, tell me if any of yawl have done this too:
I went to the local bicycle shop, they have skateboard griptape there, I paid the guy $7 for a piece 18" x 8" or so. I came home, cut it our with a razor and fitted it to my newest saw, the 346xp. I wanted to see how i liked it...welp, I loved it. so much so that i wrapped my 362's whole rear handle in it, i put it all over my cell phone, my lighter, and i put some on my sharpie that i carry around with me. This stuff is TOUGH! very grippy and feels great to my hand. one of these days i am planning on wrapping the steering wheel in my truck with it. here's a picture, will post more later upon request.

I use hockey tape for grip in a lot of places. It works really well for hammer handles, and I used it on the front handgrip on my 020.

It is made for skateboards and they are typically made of wood so a tool handle should be no problem.

Doubtful it is resistant to solvents, fuel or oil. It is just tape afterall, very sticky tape but still tape.
