Full Wrap Handle Upgrade on an ECHO Pro Chainsaw- ECHO CS-7310P

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Would you get a full wrap handle on your chainsaw or not?

[@creativedesign9642]

No matter how many times I see it, It inspires me more and more.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Thanks man👊

[@robertdouglas3456]

Gorgeous saw! Those are great with a big saw & longer bar! 🤩🤩

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

This saw came in handy a few weeks ago when a storm blew over a huge maple.

[@jamesquade7459]

Absolutely have one. Use it once and it is worth it. Does not weigh much

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Same, definitely worth it.

Super !!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Спасибо дружище, дождался наконец - то ! 🤝🤝🤝

💯😀👍

[@southin47639]

That is all i use. For me, wrap around works better.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

I agree, full wrap is the way to go!

[@pallmall5495]

I like the idea of a full wrap handle on an Echo saw. You can pick the saw up and throw it over a hill much easier.

[@pallmall5495]

@@MarkThomasBuilder gotta hand it to you Echo owners,yall are a hard bunch to p-off. I try at every video I see.

[@DL-mn6pg]

Hell Yeah! They look cooler.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

👊 💯

[@The69bombero]

It might lose a couple of inches on a low to the ground cut. But it sure looks cool.

[@PhillipDrumz]

Does that full wrap interfere with taking on and off the chain cover?

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Nope

[@georgedavall9449]

Hey Mark! That’s a heckuva saw there, and befits the Full wrap handle. I would only consider one on a larger saw, with the bigger bar, as you mentioned. It looked really good when you had it all together! I’m looking forward to some footage of it in use, come Fall! *Hint hint*. 😊 Enjoyed your coverage of the Milwaukee show stuff. Don’t think I’ve watched all of them, yet, so if I do, will add comments. They need to compensate you my friend! You managed to work in an impact driver, and a pair of gloves, into a video about a chainsaw and handle swap! You hearing this Milwaukee?! 😉 Take it easy! 👍👍👍✌😊

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Haha, thanks George, I appreciate the feedback. I have another video ready to launch soon, showing this saw running the 20" bar. I'm really liking this new full wrap handle. I also have more Milwaukee content planned, so stay tuned. Oh, I went live a couple times while at Milwaukee which I'd like to do again on occasion. I figured out now how to get the comments to stay up on my phone so I'll be able to interact better. Have a great rest or your weekend🙌

@@MarkThomasBuilder You’re Welcome Mark! While on the topic of saws, if you have the chance, I’d like your opinion on swapping out my stock bar, with the aluminum bar, on my Echo CS-590? ‘Saw Again’ just notified me it is back in stock. I DO NOT care for the cheap plastciky (sic) bar that comes standard, on the TimberWolf, and sometimes my left arm is left a little numb/ tingly. I think this is more for the 620, but they claim it will bolt onto the 590? I’m curious as to the comfort, and handling it would add, over the stock bar? Thanks in advance! Take care! 🙌

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Hi George, I'm not familiar with those bars. I've only run stock bars or some Oregon bars. I'd like to look into some other options though.

[@georgedavall9449]

@@MarkThomasBuilder Hi Mark, and thanks for reply. Ooh, guess I should have used ‘handle?’ I meant swapping out the stock plastic handle, for the aluminum handle, not the chainsaw bar. I believe your 620 came with a rubber wrappped handle, and this is what is said to also fit the 590? Thanks.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Yes, that's correct on the 620. The only plastic handle gas chainsaw I have is the CS 2511T- the top handle arborist saw. I like the handle on the 620. It sounds like a worthwhile upgrade.

[@christiannorris7673]

Any chance you would know if that handle would work on a cs800p/cs8000? Or any others that would.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

I'm not sure if it works on that. I'd want a full wrap handle on a saw that big.

[@AlabamaFootball2010]

I hope this is a spoof video. Had to stop at the spark plug part. Good luck.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

You can order the saw with the full-wrap now. It wasn't available at the launch. I understand the spark plug was excessive, but I'm following what OPE companies do, just for liability reasons.

[@The69bombero]

I like the look. I don't think it would fit back in its transportation box.

[@Autigers2013]

You should have put some blue lock tite on as well!!!

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Great advice, thanks for sharing!

[@kristinejackson8268]

What does disconnecting the plug wire do? And please don't tell me so it don't start up while your putting the handle on.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Haha, ECHO instructs to do that when working on equipment, so I'm just repeating what they say.

[@D70340]

Last i checked a couple days ago, the dealer wanted $165 for that handle. NO THANKS!

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Oh wow, that's rather pricey.

[@shanew7361]

$1,100 saw should come with that handle.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Good point. ECHO now has the option, so you can get it in a PW series for just a little more. I think the full wrap became available somewhere around 6-8 months after the launch.

[@zack6892]

I paid 750$ with 3 bar and chains for my 7310 with half wrap. Even paying more to add it later didn’t come to 1100

[@jongreca5429]

The thought of someone of your intellect to use a power saw scary thought or actually natural selection
