yeah, i gathered that. what causes the tip to blow? does it just get weak over time?
i had another bar laying around that i modified slightly and it worked well to deal with the remainder of the cedar tree but i have yet another question. in the pic you can see the chain oiler pickup line for my craftstman (husky) 36/16 saw. it doesn't lay on the base of the oil reservoir like others but it looks like it goes into the center of the cap where there is a recess that seems to be for that purpose. i don't like it because if the saw gets a little low on oil, it might now get enough to the chain. any thoughts?
