Description
Overview:
This Brake Band is a Genuine Stihl part for restoring the chain brake on Stihl petrol chainsaws. Made from durable steel, it wraps around the clutch drum and tightens rapidly when the front hand guard is engaged, stopping the chain to help protect the user. Designed for exact fit and reliable performance on models such as the MS 440 and 044, it maintains safe operation under heavy use. Precision-formed to OEM specifications (Stihl 1128 160 5400), it replaces a worn, stretched, or damaged band that can weaken stopping power. Suitable for professional forestry, construction, landscaping, and farm use, it keeps your saw compliant with safe working practices and reduces downtime by restoring positive, consistent brake action.
