Suitable for many Stihl tools including the FS160 and FS180, it helps maintain structural integrity under vibration and regular use. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 9099 021 1890. Being a Genuine Stihl part ensures consistent quality, correct tolerances, and dependable compatibility with the intended applications.
