Easy Repair
The part arrived timely and it was easy to fix. However, the second time I pulled the rope to start my leaf blower it ripped. Not happy with the quality since it didnt even last a week.

Lack of costumer service
Bought a few parts to fix my chainsaw.
Accordanly to the description at the website i've thought that i had purchased the right one, but no, which was so far ok. Paid express shipping to get those. But on return after had to call the company to be specific on the right part to order, was charged 5 dollars to get my refund on the first parts, what wasnt informed during a long phone call with the company. So out of 24 dolars with taxes for the parts, got 9$ back, remembering that this company is 4 blocks from my house.

Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, t25 torx, block of wood
Parts Used
installed a block of wood to hold the back frame out enough to use the torx tool, to get at the screws lifted off the housing disassembled the spring and rope spool, needed to repair the spring / bend it flat to rewind it and reinstalled. put the bushing into the housing and found that it was loose, needed to flare the bushing so it wont fall out, i believe there is a tool to crush it so it will flare on the inside of the housing. reassembly and rope works fine. now the rope broke. needs a new housing due to the rope hole rubbed /cut into from bad oem bushing. now need to buy the whole housing
