Great video -- too bad my pos husqvarna didn't come with that tool.

[craigphillips]

What about on the t540 xp ? They don't have the same mechanism to twist?

[RobertResearchRadios]

Please sell the chainsaw with this wrench instead of the one without the grooves to turn the brake reset.

A video on how to modify the scrench tool would be great.

The scrench that came with my dad's 445 doesn't have the grooves in the large end shown in this video. Do you sell these screnches seperately? My dad needs to reset his chain brake but we don't have the tool.

[lyallbaybum]

Thanks for a quick, no bullshit explanation and demonstration bro.

[Steven-gvke]

You don't have to have this tool. Just use a 9/16" wrench and screwdriver. Take the open end of the wrench, place the jaws over one of the three sprockets, then insert the screwdriver through the closed end of the wrench and twist the wrench with the screwdriver clockwise.

Echo is impossible to do this with? Great design, echo failed miserably

[noahschmartz]

yeah thats the bit people couldnt figure out, how to twist it back !!!! really, dont u think mentioning how to make or buy the tool might be why most people came here ?

[larryhutchens]

No one in the state of Oklahoma seems to have that tool, what the hell is the deal? Is this damn thing built in Europe?

[busterservicks]

Thank you very much, Sir! This is why I love Youtube videos!

[firefighterexperienc]

Fantastic I had this problem today due to my lack of knowledge and experience... I now see why there are cut outs on the spark plug spanner... so you can rest the brake... thanks again....

[cwaldensr]

I can't get the cover off. Seems to be locked.

[ccampy]

You have to take the cover off the reset it seems a stupid design

[shartne]

Worst chainsaw I have ever owned.120 husky couldn not fix it, spent a lot of money on parts. Do not do the 120.

[Xternal]

what if the chain brake sprocket snaps off an arm while trying to reset because it's made of weak aluminum like I had? Shit out of

[larryhutchens]

Hey there lumberjack, really neat idea there and it looks like it works really well but one problem, where the hell does one get that tool?

[glacius]

yeah well i dont have that key..thaaa..obvius obviusly that you have to set it back to open spring position..

[LuboTaro]
