I stopped by one of the "local" Stihl shops yesterday and scored a free scrench for my 044 :givebeer: 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.

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

Mine cost me $16!!!

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 :D

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.
