I attempted to use this on a Stihl 056 magnum. I have to do ignition repairs and need to add and remove the flywheel constantly to fix the timing. On my first attempt at using this the end snapped. After that I was careful and was able to use it several more times before the other end snapped. I was able to push the broken piece out the exhaust port but on a smaller motor you would have to remove the cylinder because it is very difficult to get it back out the spark plug hole. This tool lasted less than a day. This was not a saw that had parts froze up, I just got tired of using rope so I decided to buy the "proper" tool. The amount of torque required to break it was not that high. UPDATE: I was able to repair this tool by drilling a hole in each broken end piece and gluing + inserting trimmer string in them. This raised my review from one star to four stars. The trimmer string does not break, the piston is unlikely to break and I have now used it many times successfully. For a saw that hasn't been taken apart for years I suggest using rope to prevent breaking something. With the modification I prefer this tool over a metal piston stop.Read full review

This is a piece of hard plastic. No instructions on how to use it but it is pretty straight forward how it goes in the cylinder. Brought the piston up slowly to the stop and it seemed to be positioned correctly. Put some pressure on the clutch and "snap". Broke the end of the stop and it remained in the cylinder. Was not easy to get out. Used the old style (piece of rope) and the clutch removed easily. Just be careful if you are using this.

This inexpensive product works great. If you are looking for a dependable, good quality piston stop this is it! No hassle purchase and delivery. I would recommend it!

Works just as it should. I used another brand of the same tool which had a slightly different design and it broke into pieces. This one has a much better design.

I used this item properly and correctly as described for its purpose. After inserting it into the cylinder chamber as required. The first attempt to turn the clutch for removal it broke this item. Requiring me to fish it out of the cylinder. I would not recommended this to anyone. Use the rope meathod instead. That works easy, every time, without any problems.
