As far as the original story goes, you should have smacked your partner up side the head, got in the truck an left. No reason to blame a home owner for asking as many questions as possible to educate himself, especially if you're partner is standing there giving him the education for free. I...

If you're in the US, you REALLY should negotiate on your medical bills, but you have to do it before they receive any payment from anyone (including insurance). The hospital has no idea what the their services actually cost. They only know how much they can sell your debt for if you can't pay...

For me, its a question of how many saws I want to carry out to the truck. If there's a potential of needing something bigger than an 18" bar, then I normally have a 3rd saw in the truck. Otherwise, I limit myself to 2 only because that's one less thing I need to carry back into the shop at the...

That reply belongs in the "You Suck" thread :) I have 4 saws that all run the same size 18" chain. I am in the camp of sharpen the chain until it's about used up, and then swap. I normally have at least 1 new chain in my tool box, and at least 2 chains that only have 2 or 3 sharpenings left...

I have a G660 (Chinese clone of the 066). You're not wanting something to work on, so I'm not recommending it. That said, I love the saw for what it is. It normally wears a 28" bar and runs .404 chain. I can't lean on it hard enough to stall the chain when it's in wood that has any size to...

Based on your original post, I'd recommend a battery powered saw to be honest. No rope to pull, and no carb to get gummed up from sitting on the shelf for too long. Pick a brand that you also want to use for battery powered lawn equipment (trimmers, blowers, ect) so that you have multiple uses...

This is true BUT, for a new user it's hard to remember what the chain felt like when it was new and sharp. Thus sharpening on a fixed schedule is a good idea until you get to the point where you can feel the difference in the way the saw cuts as it starts to get dull. If ever in doubt, switch...

I once had to sharpen a chain 5 time trying to drop a large locust. What I didn't know was that the tree was eat up with carpenter ants and the middle of tree was essentially solid dirt. I was sure I was something really wrong with my sharpening process. Once I got the tree on the ground, it...

I agree with everyone else. Sounds like a dull chain, but pics will help clarify for certain. I rarely go more than 2 tanks without sharpening, and often sharpen after every tank. If you don't know how to sharpen your chain (yet), you should at least have multiple chains for it. If you're...

I thought open class tractor pulls where pretty sweet until I went to my first NHRA Nationals event. We sat even with the starting line about half way up the stands. I determined that it was proof positive that not only is God real, but he's a man.... Tim Allen ain't got noth'n on those folks.

They are definitely "woke", but they do treat the employees pretty well. After 17 years in Automotive, I'd rather deal with woke politics than +65hr work weeks with no over time and no home life. Unfortunately, I found that I needed to give up drinking all together over 20 years ago. Just...

I work for Boston Scientific as part of one of our in-house equipment development teams. We built some equipment for one of our sister plants in Clonmel, and then spent a day with our counterparts in Cork in preparation for another project we are starting on. I'm not a fan of cities by any...

I've used a variety of fuel containers over the past 45 years, including some of the older metal cans with flexible spouts and the can in the video. For the past several years, I've used some cheap cans with an aftermarket spout and a vent added. I picked up the one in the video last summer...

I generally stick with Kline for these specific tools.

Welcome! I just got back from Ireland this past Friday. We spent a week over there for work doing some equipment installs in our Clonmel plant. Also took a day to tour our plant in Cork and meet with their engineering team. Beautiful country and everyone was great to deal with.

I put my previous GSP down at home. It sucks, but I've decided that from now on it will be done at home. I've taken a lot of dogs to the vet over the years. Its easier on me, but the dog always hates the trip. I decided that after so many great years of hunting and/or companionship, the...

Never used farmertec's website. If I'm getting Chinese parts, I go through Hyway.

I was going to name one of them drumbum, but all of my tools are useful...

I'm not sure that leaf came from that tree. The leaf looks like some kind of red oak variant, but the bark on the tree does not. As far as the value of the tree, it's not worth anything for lumber for the reasons already mentioned. With the brief description you gave, I'd say $3k is a pretty...

Boo-hoo, you're poor thread got side tracked for a whole 4 posts. Poor thing.
