Stihl Scrench Question

[cbolyard]

I stopped by one of the "local" Stihl shops yesterday and scored a free scrench for my 044 My question is, once I put a set of wrap bars on the saw, am I going to have to get a shorter scrench to get the bar nuts off?

The wrap handle (Stihl factory wrap) should come with a new shorter swrench. I know my kit did.

Oh no way. I busted the one for my trimmer on Saturday.

They do make a shorter scrench for full-wrap bars.

Does the new shorty scrench still reach the plug, or do you have to carry both?

I was shocked when they gave it to me... I went to the counter with an Oregon scrench that was out in the store and asked if they knew if it would reach the plug on my 044... he pulled out a plastic bin full of all kinds of tools and dug out a brand new Stihl scrench and said "here you go... on the house." He said every so often they end up with an extra kicking around like that and give them out when someone needs one... guess it was my lucky day

i lost my short scrench that came with my 361 wrap handle kit

took one of my regular screnches to the local welding/machining
shop, cut the regular scrench to make it short like i wanted, had them
weld it back onto the stick part, dropped it into a puddle of water,
paid $2 and went back to cuttin'...

Someone on here said they just cut off the shorter end of the scrench. Should fit under the wrap. That way, you'll still be able to get to the plug ok.

Short wrench works fine for the spark plug.

all ya need is a hacksaw, sawzall, or a grinder...

Yep, I did just that, then ditched the full wrap anyway.

A word of advice...pay the money and DO NOT get a $2 or $3 one from ebay.

Pieces of cr@p.

Who's nutz, I would think anyone who pays $16 for a stihl wrench. For that kinda money buy a Snap-on flex box and take it back for a free one if it breaks.

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

It's a pain but I carry a cheap ratchet and a couple sockets since I have the full wrap on the 056 with 13mm nuts and the over sized 18mm bar nuts on the 084.

Yep, I'm a half wrap, big saw, short bar kind of guy, and I love it that way. Not just like it, love it.
