Overview:
This Rewind Starter is a Genuine Stihl part engineered for BR430 and BR450 backpack blowers. It replaces a worn or damaged starting unit to restore smooth, reliable pull-start operation. Built with an impact‐resistant polymer housing, a tempered steel recoil spring, and a high‐tensile nylon cord with a comfortable T‐handle, it is designed for daily use on site or in the garden.
