This item has been sourced from the original manufacturer to ensure quality. The metal clutch drum is intended to be used with chainsaws from Husqvarna and Jonsered. This item is used to house the clutch and to drive the chain. The clutch expands when the saw\\\'s engine increases RPMs and this rotates the clutch drum and the sprocket catches the chain to rotate it around the bar. This item is available as an individual replacement part.
