What Does STIHL ElastoStart Do?

STIHL ElastoStart is designed to reduce the sudden jolt that can happen when pulling the starter rope. The internal dampening effect helps absorb the load peaks caused by engine compression, giving the operator a smoother and more comfortable starting motion.

This is especially helpful on larger STIHL chainsaws and professional gas-powered tools where a standard starter grip can feel sharp, jerky, or difficult to pull.

When Should You Replace Your Starter Grip?

Replace the starter grip if the original handle is cracked, broken, missing, worn, loose, uncomfortable to use, or no longer securing the starter rope properly.

• Broken or cracked starter handle
• Starter rope pulling through the handle
• Worn or uncomfortable grip
• Damaged ElastoStart dampening function
• Upgrading or retrofitting to an ElastoStart grip on compatible equipment
