    Do you have a b&m Stihl stockist near you? Our local hardware/tool store is a Stihl stockist and although on the face of it slightly more expensive worth every extra penny.

    Might be worth asking on the DIY forum where more power tools are likely used.
    I'm another who finds the parts in local hardware stores and such since I went round the big boy chain stores and found they were more expensive

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    When I've needed spares for my power tools (usually brushes), I generally buy from one of many ebay sellers.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    On-line, I've used L&S and found them reliable. No firm idea about their pricing, but I usually shop around.
