    What is your favorite non-saw tool brand?

    Dotco, Ingersoll Rand, Chicago Pneumatics were the best air tools in my stone fabrication shop.

    Another pole saw question.

    Thank you coffeebrk. Exactly the kind of suggestion I was looking for!

    Rolling Really Large Firewood Rounds

    I used one of those dollies when I got a job cutting stone. Move all sorts of blocks & slabs with it. The boss referred to it as a “Monument Dollie”.

    Figuring log weight?

    I'll assume that's not displaying pounds?

    Hot Stihl 251

    Thanks FrannyK, I had hoped to hear a reply like yours. I'll fire mine up without the cover & bar after a bit to look for errant drops as HarleyT suggested.

    Hot Stihl 251

    Because that never occurred to me. Another Duh moment for me.

    Hot Stihl 251

    The oil pump sits in there behind the clutch, sucks oil in from the lower line, and dribbles it out the top line/grommet? Looks like a likely spot for a leak. I can't see depth here, but I guess there a rise of that upper line, which is hidden be behind the rear clutch cover piece, still in...

    Hot Stihl 251

    Me again. I have not as yet added a second stud with a different cover. I did do a good cleaning and sharpening of my bar and chain, made sure the oil holes were not blocked, and reassembled. Started it and ran a little, checking that oil was flowing properly. It does not appear to be. I...

    The highly valuable black walnut tree thread

    Last spring I had two quite large walnuts taken down. The utility was going up and down my road clearing anything that was at all close to overhead wires. They took all the branches under about 8"' and left me some really nice long trunk pieces. I cut, split, stacked right away, and was able...

    Hot Stihl 251

    I said that in my first post here today. I correct myself after taking another look at my saw, and my posts from last year. Duh ;)

    Hot Stihl 251

    Great. I'll inquire with my dealer. Would you recommend I get the standard or oversized stud? 1123-664-2400 or 1123-664-2405

    Hot Stihl 251

    Thanks yet again HarleyT. So was the change to a two bolt configuration a model year thing? I do have a chain tensioner that seems the same as my MS260 Pro. What cover part number, or Model #, should I ask my dealer for? A 250?

    Hot Stihl 251

    EDIT. SORRY FOR DUPLICATE QUESTIONS. a palmer, or anyone. I have an MS 251 that only has a single stud. The stud had backed out just a bit, so that the blade would not be held tight against the saw body. I was able to tighten the stud back down, and it has stayed put. I would be very...

    Hot Stihl 251

    Thanks for those images and parts numbers, very helpful.

    Hot Stihl 251

    Thanks HarleyT!!! I was hoping to hear an answer like this. So looking at the parts list it looks to be M8 size stud. I assume coarse thread.

    Hot Stihl 251

    I don't know if anyone is still following this, but if so I have a somewhat related question. I have a MS 251 with the single bar stud and nut. I brought it out the other day, fired it up, and did some full trigger chain running over clean wood to confirm the chain was getting oil. It was...

    What handheld blower/vac

    PLMCRZY, I am very happy with the BG86 after one month of use. It fires right up on first or second pull every time. The vibration is dramatically reduced from the BG85 I used for many years. Not knowing what you need the blower for, it's hard to say which Stihl blower is better for you. I'm a...

    What handheld blower/vac

    William, Thank you for all your thoughtful insights on the merits of the 125 series blower you purchased. You could be an excellent paid spokesman for Husqvarna. :p Seriously, your comments here had me virtually convinced to follow your lead and buy the same blower. That would have been...

    What handheld blower/vac

    The problem seems to be pretty well documented. On Husqvarna's own web site, there are 22 reviews with a ranking of one. The majority of these are ethanol deterioration issues, with not much solution other than do NOT use anything with ethanol in a Husq tool. This is a major concern for me, as...

    What handheld blower/vac

    Thanks for the quick reply Hustilher. I also own a large Stihl backpack blower. I primarily use my handheld to blow out my garage, blow the driveway, the woodpile, etc. I have a bum shoulder so I only fire up the big blower when there is a lot to do. I have read some complaints of the Hus 125...
