I haven't looked at corded electric chainsaws in probably 10-15 years. It's crazy that Stihl wants more for their corded electric ones than gas models but anyway. If you absolutely need or want a corded chainsaw I'd look at the Makita not going to get it for $50 but it's $250 on Amazon. By the...

Well it went on sale today for $37. I'd just buy another one and save the old one for what parts are left. None of these saws are going to last very long anyway. If you go to the saw HF and click on the 1 star reviews you'll see the plastic gear is a problem. My wife bought me a Earthwise brand...

I really liked my 371XP until someone stole it along with my 55. Replaced the 371 with a used 046 Magnum and I liked it too but a bad back made me sell it. Still have the first saw I ever bought an 028WB but it's not running now. A member worked on it and it ran for about 15 minutes. I'd like to...

I have the X7 hatchet and it's been great. I keep it hanging on the splitter for cutting stringy strips of stringy wood.

I get mine at Rural King for $9/gallon it's as good as any, no need to pay a fortune for bar oil. Sometimes they have winter weight for $8. Cam2 Bar Oil

I was making simple items like Gutter spools, S-Locks and Drive Cleats in my Dad's sheetmetal shop at age 8, he couldn't keep me out so he put me to work. Worked every Summer at age 12 and evenings and Saturday's when he needed me, it made me a better person. Dad wouldn't let me run things like...

I was mainly just messing with it to see how many cuts I could get with a 4Ah battery. Normally anything that size is going to be the Echo 590 or the Husky 455. I can almost fill up my 17 cu.ft. yard trailer with one battery in smaller stuff, there's 3 rows in there of not so great White Oak in...

You need to watch for sales at Direct Tool Outlet. Two days ago they had nearly everything 50% off, they had the 14" 40V with a battery for $100. Just today they're having a 50% off sale in the stores only but lots of places they don't have a store nearby. Their blemished stuff is basically new...

I bought the Ryobi 16" brushless 40V with a chain brake. It's actually a little faster than my Echo CS-310 but you only get about 4-6 cuts in something like 15-18" dead dry Ash. I like it for clean up after storms on the farm of limbs and such. I paid $170 for it on sale with a 4.0Ah battery and...

I unloaded mine 15 years ago. Hardiest to start Stihl I've ever used.

I had a MS250 about 20 years ago. It started great cold but run it for 30 minutes and set it down for 10-15 minutes and it was the floodingist(is that a word) saw I've ever seen.

Nice! I should've kept mine.

I'm not a logger and don't pretend to be, I'm a retired Journeyman Machinist, but after watching the first couple seasons of Ax Men which is about all I could stand by the way I was impressed by Jay Browning. Then again I've never spent any time around true loggers either so what do I know. I've...

A month ago you could get Echo bar oil for $14 something a gallon and $12.47 if you bought 4 gallons at Home Depot. Today it's $19.47 or $17.52 if you buy 4, dang that's some price increase. Geez I can buy Rotella T4 diesel engine oil for under $17/gallon. I'll stick with Rural King Cam2 at...

Minimum shipping for 1 ounce is now about $3.60 and that's a discounted rate through eBay. By the time a seller puts anything in a 1/4" padded envelope it's no longer 1/4". The least my wife charges to ship anything is $4.75.

My comment wasn't about fees but about sellers not shipping what they claim to have. Yes their fee system sucks, she's been selling on there for well over 20 years and she has seen tons of changes. I'm not sure how they're getting away with some of things they are doing as far as fees. But like...

My wife has a store on eBay. As long as you ship what you say you've got there's not a problem. It's not eBay that's the problem, it's crappy sellers. Doesn't matter if he they say no returns if you don't get what is pictured and described you can file a "not as described" case with eBay and...

I've been looking at those too. They're about 3 lbs. lighter than my 590.

Rest In Peace John.

There's one in Wytheville and Martinsville, Virginia. I get Cam2 bar oil from Rural King for $9. To the others: Heck Home Depot sells Echo bar oil for $14.27 or $12.84 if you buy 4 gallons, that's cheaper than the dreaded ripoff Tractor Supply, I hate that place.
