scored these from an old timer that used to run a small Stihl dealership. along with several rolls of Stihl chain. betcha these old tools have spun many a chain!

I think Herr today are made and sold by NPA (Buffalo, NY 716 362 9747). I have some stamped depth gauges that I really like, and they double as a bar cleaning tool.

I have the same Herr breaker as in your pictures, and an even older Carlton spinner which I really like.

I miss my McCulloch

I want to buy more of the old Mac breaker spinner combo units...

The fastest way to make loops from spools

Most of the Mac stuff like that back in the day was superior. My dad had a Mac two-in-one unit that grew legs after he died. :censored:

I have a hand held McCulloch breaker spinner, don't think it has ever been used.

If I remember I'll post some pictures if I make it home this weekend.

Hi Chaps, I know its an old thread, but I am trying to source a replacement punch for my old Oregon/ Herr chain breaker (also missing anvilles for the spinner too)
Apparently its pt # 26870.

I saw a few on ebay USA, but they want US$23-48 shipping for a tiny thing depending on the listing.

If you have one, or can source one cheap locally, and post with reasonable cost, happy to pay you for it.

Cheers

Hey everyone,
Has anyone ever seen a Stihl like this one? I’ve searched the internet and can’t find anything on it, not even the first pic

 

[gary courtney]

Have a Herr set just like yours.

Update, turns out they used the same anvils, punches as the current Stihl punch and spinners, so got some from there, then came across a stihl ng7 and ng5, so now use them.
