Half rant, half questions. Neighbor and I are cutting a wind blown oak, neighbor borrows my saw and bends my 25" Rollmatic ES. Not worth getting angry over.
I run by the Stihl dealer closest to work this morning & ask them how much to straighten the bar. They say it can't be done. I guess I look confused. I say that worst case they might have to straighten the bar & replace the nose. They say they've never heard of replacing the nose. I thank them kindly for their time & leave quickly.
1) Am I out of line by thinking this should be an easy job?
2) I'm a fairly handy guy... Should I just hit this thing with a BFH? Or take it to the other Stihl dealer? (I do have a much better relationship with this place, but it's out of the way.)
Needless to say, I won't be getting ANY work done at the first place...
