Harassing a lightly modded (adjustable carb-mm-opened air intake ) MS180 .Felling and bucking wild ( and sick ) chinese chestnuts at my private land.

Nope.It's that shock absorbing tape used to wrap the handles of tennis rackets.I have used it for first time for wrapping the handles of my compound bows. Quite grippy ,also.

Amazon.com : Tennis Racket Wrap Tape

There's also a genuine leather version :

Well,I thought to give it a try with the MS170 ...

Running out of fuel .
Still using that Stihl "low kickback " chain . Extremely slow going when tip burying .
