    Which Fiskars axe to buy?

    Buy them all :D I have two hatchets, a camp axe, x25 and x27. Love all of them. They are good tools. I have used mauls, "real" and wanna-be, and prefer the x27.

    That was also the time when a HANDSHAKE meant something and personal integrity was a virtue not perceived as a sign of weakness.

    Timberline chain sharpener

    Apparently I am doing something wrong with mine. I have found it difficult to set and use. I had to reset it for the opposite side and had a hard time getting the teeth close to even. For what I paid for it, I am sorely disappointed. I file the chain till they are no longer usable and pitch...

    261 basket case

    Received the stihl tool and all is well. Saw runs well. I don't know about the longevity of the Hyway P&C, but saw runs as well as oem's that I have. Before assembly, I compared the piston to all other AM types and an oem that I had. Appearance was the same except for one AM had a dull...

    261 basket case

    Awhile back, I bought a 261 basket case off of fleabay. Fianally got the pieces that I needed to re-assemble it. I have done several 026's and this new style is much tougher to do. All the parts that I bought were in a box and other than the IPL, I really had very little idea how it went...

    Snakes are OUT !!!

    All the snake huggers, don't get your shorts in a wad......BUT I execute ALL poisonous snakes on my property. When I work outside, I carry a .38 derringer loaded with rat shot just for them. I have copperheads and canebreaks here and they would kill me if I was bitten.
