Never lose a small chainsaw part again.

[henry r]

I use those zip lock bags of all sizes plus those glad plastic sealed containers when I disassembly a saw. I put a garbage bag in a box to hold the larger parts with the packages of smaller parts. Once it’s all disassembled they all get a bath.

Each disassembled saw is in its own box.

I write on all the bags with an artline (sharpie for you US types), that way i have some idea where the bits have to go. It doesn't solve all the "what bit goes where" problem but keeps it in managable groups.

I use a large tea ball. They have ones that are 2.5” in diameter. Come with a chain and a hook. Very simple.

For cleaning: aquarium media bag - most come with drawstrings, but the fancier ones have zippers. Can get them in various sizes.
Or just throw it all in a coffee can with some gas and shake'r up Honestly, old plastic food containers or carry out soup containers are good for that as long as you're not using a chemical that eats plastic.

But just for disassembly, zip locks of various sizes are definitely the way to go, and a sharpie as henry r pointed out. If I'm just trying to keep loose parts with a saw, then I use the old-school trashbag wire twist ties to keep the bag attached to the saw.

I’m getting into larger tote plastic containers. That can hold all the larger disassembled saw parts and the plastic zip loc and little containers with lids.

I just try to put them back together the same day I tear them down. Why would you want boxes of saws setting around

So...instead of losing ONE part when you blow it off with compressed air, now you lose three? (Or four if you count the "holder"?)

Hell someone even lost my blowgun under a dash board of a truck.

If I feel like this is a trick question, does that make me a hoarder?

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Saws in boxes,saws in totes some still in their original wooden crates, what`s wrong with saws in boxes. Can`t run them all.
