I grabbed this to swap over on my dad��s FS480, but it��s great to see it��s compatible with a couple of different models to which the seller has clearly listed for double checking before ordering. I actually grabbed this in the mindset to swap over myself, so on arrival I popped over and we spent probably 40 minutes swapping over following an online video and simple at home DIY tools. Fairly simple to be honest but we were struggling with one of the screws being a little seized. Works a dream since installing and no longer does it get stuck on a dodgy frayed cable. Fair price and made by a reputable manufacturer.
Bought to replace the launcher on a Stihl fs450, perfect product..
Very good
Parfait en remplacement d'une pi��ce css�� et hors de pris en neuf . Le lanceur se met en lieu et place de l'ancien.
