Description
Overview:
The Handle Assy (Wrap Around Type) is a genuine Stihl replacement front handle designed for the MS 462 and MS 462 C professional chainsaws. Built from robust tubular metal with a hard‐wearing, textured polymer grip area, it provides a secure hold and confident control in a range of working positions.
