for the record, stihl tapes are rebranded spencer tapes. the husky tapes are where it's at. way easier to replace tape, or replace/adjust rewind. the spencer tapes just seem beyond hurt'n after using the husky tapes. coming from a husky guy i know but i'm not biased to tapes. i use what i like with anything! i got 2 spencers and 2 huskies. i'll trade both spencers for one husky tape! LOL

Never seen a Husky tape yet. Some guys go thru stuff faster than boot laces. Lol

they are the bomb, everything about them is nicer, smaller, lighter. they come with the hinge nail as well. alot of guys don't like them but i do. they hang over the end of the butt and the hinge of the nail opens up when you pull on the tape rather then the straight nail getting all kinked when pulled on. alot of guys don't like the hinge nail and install the spencer style nail on the husky tape but i don't get it. the husky nail is way better IMO.

the husky tape nails don't even need to stick in really. just hang them over the butt and give a little push to just make a dent for them to hold onto. walk the log limbing, bucking, and in the end a light tug has it rewinding back. i didn't want to try them at first cause i was hell bent on spencer tapes but another guy convinced me otherwise. sure a spencer tape can have a husky nail installed but the husky is still easier to replace the tape or rewind and rewind tension can be adjusted in a second without any tools.
