Minor mod to my new MS-461R.

[1Alpha1]

I installed an OEM STIHL scrench holder on it. Never had a scrench holder of any type on any previous saws.

It turned out great and it will be very handy. And, I didn't even have to bend or break anything to put it on. And, I didn't have any parts left over after the install.

New poulan 5020 has em on the bottom of the rear handle. Thought that was a good idea

I would get annoyed by it quickly.

Couldn't stand the tach mounted on my PS-7900's handle, took it off and considering to place it on/in the AF hood (new ones are already purchased, the old ones would be used for tinkering).

I don't see it getting in my way at all. Even with my gorilla-sized hands, taking up all sorts of wrap-handle territory, the scrench isn't in my way.

But, I'm thinking I should take the saw out into the garage and piss-rev it for a few minutes just to be sure.

At least 3-5 minute long video of that please...

i tried them a long time ago. i can't handle anything extra being attached to my saw. could be handy for a firewood guy though.

The under-handle mount is a fantastic idea IMO but is poorly executed on the 5020. Dad has one and that scrench falls out all the time.

I'd say a wedge pouch would be the ideal tool holder you wear it around ur waist so it can be out of the way at all times

I kinda like the way the OP has the scrench mounted on his 461 and may have to look into that for mine. I usually "try" to keep a scrench in the pocket of my chaps but having it mounted directly on the saw might be handy.

I have holders on my wrap handle stihls and i keep my carb screwdriver in them...thats weird i guess.

The "only" down-side I've heard about in regards to the Stihl scrench holder, is that it tends to slip down a bit.

My solution to that problem was a small hose clamp, clamped to the handle under the holder. No way in Hell it's slipping down now.
