How To Wrap A Chainsaw Handlebar With Tennis Racket Tape.

In this video, I demonstrate how to wrap a handle bar on a chainsaw with tennis racket tape. I use Wilson cushioned tape and Head non cushioned tape. You can also use baseball bat tape.
They can be found at most sporting goods store, or you can order online.

I remember seeing you do this a couple years ago. So, I tried it and it's so much nicer. I don't run saws, day in, day out, but I like that it fills my hand more, along with extra grip. I do use bike handlebar tape though, instead of tennis racket tape. Not sure which would hold up longer, but the handlebar tape is 94"x1.2".

This will be handy. I’ve got a ms362 and it has that plastic handles and kinda wish I got the 462 with the foam covered ones.

You can pick up a metal full wrap for the 362. Be prepared to spend $.

462 is best saw made..for daily tree work..lighter then big saws and can run 32 36 when needed..28 is perfect daliy or 24..depending on ehere you live....

I thought it was bicycle tape guys used.always wanted to try it..smaller guy so helps ..starting to like thick 5/8 rope as well

Mitch, also check out baseball bat grip wraps, especially if you want more colors

[@mitchzenobitrees]

I used bat tape on the side handle. It's not cushioned, but it held up pretty good.

[@brettbrettson69]

@@mitchzenobitrees yeah that's kind of the one downside especially if you want a fatter handle. I guess when you have baby hands like me you don't need much 😆

[@Sethhaun78]

How do you fit that stock air cover on over oil filters..mine ran like crap until i put the max flow plastic cover back on..breathes nice i dremel it out to breath

[@bradywatcherson498]

Ever try road bike handlebar tape? Comes in longer rolls and the back side is sticky. Not sure how the durability compares to the racquet tape.

[@mitchzenobitrees]

I haven't. I'll look into that for the next wrapping.
