Tack in bar oil

[spacemule]

What kind of tack does your bar oil use? I've heard that Stihl uses fake tack. However, Husky uses a patented and proprietary technology that is extracted from 100% pure tack tree resin.

Spacemule, you never fail to amuse me with your Blasten funny posts

To test it, put a couple drops of bar oil on a piece of wood and hit it with a tack hammer. The smaller the splatter radius, the tackier the oil. Easy test to conduct and very accurate.

The Stihl oil has a special ingredient called "sliderlubem" which works in conjunction with flippy caps. Flippy caps became neccessary due to the incessant abuse of alcohol by Stihl owners which is known to kill brain cells. It is thought that some Stihl owners have killed so many brain cells that the # of brain cells was down to the semi-final rounds. Therefore it was determined that flippy caps were mandated due to the owners being unable to rember taking a scrench with when operating the saw.:msp_confused:

I've seen too much tack and it streams off the end of the bar like spider webs

Shindaiwa bar oil uses a proprietary ingredient known as TechTack (not to be confused with TechTach.) The manufacturer orders in stacks of TechTack and store it on racks. They only take orders by fax, that's a fact. Don't overreact at the quality of TechTack. Yes, you can use it in Macs. Warehouse orders are packed on the backs of hypochondriacs named Jack. These fellows have a knack for filling their sacks with TechTack. Then orders are tracked by a system which is lax. It is known as Black Jack.


So sit back, have a snack and relax.

You're bored again, aren't you. We hate it when you're bored.

Why don't you do down to the Political threads and aggravate those guys for a while.

I'm a stihl lover, but i use husky oil.. It's good oil and is few bucks cheaper where i get it.

I get it at a dealer, $9 bucks a gallon, tax included. I think the last time i looked at stihl it was 13.99

Im pretty sure Stihl only uses the best solid gold tacks in its bar oil.


Got to be why its so expensive.

 

[TonyRumore]

Just an FYI. You can take any oil to a oil blending company and they can analyze it and tell you exactly what is in it. They can then reproduce it for you at a fraction of the retail cost. They can also increase/decrease the tack, viscosity, or any other property you want. About the most expensive blend is about $5 a gallon for a 55 gallon drum. I have done it before with gun oil and will probably do it again with saw lube, being it runs $18 bucks a gallon at the local dealer.

In today's manufacturing environment a Company can only price gouge for so long before someone else steps up to the plate. It's a rather poor business model.

why does the cheaper stuff have to be such junk, some of it looks like drain oil. and has very little" tack" to it. the husky stuff is really clear, stihl a little darker. is there a good off brand?

Many here use TSC branded oil from Tractor Supply. So tacky I mix mine 50/50 w/15w40 diesel oil. Works great.
