Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl brake band is a safety-critical replacement part for Stihl petrol chainsaws, designed to restore reliable chain braking on models such as the 038 and MS381. Made from durable, high-strength steel, the band wraps around the clutch drum and tightens when the chain brake is engaged, stopping the chain quickly to reduce kickback risk and improve control. The formed steel strap with hooked ends is engineered for precise fit and consistent tension. As an OEM part (Stihl MPN 1119 160 5401 / 11191605401), it integrates cleanly with the existing brake mechanism, helping to maintain original performance and safety standards. Ideal for routine maintenance or repair when the chain brake becomes weak, slow to act, or shows signs of wear.
