10-10s manufacturer rec'd carb settings: does anyone know what they are?

I gues I'll have to get by with a China stamp on my hat.

I think similar forces may be at play regarding McCleod tool prices. About $60 to $100, and all the fire departments and agencies need them so they set the prices high. Makes a guy wonder.

Yeah, I have seen Heimann's over in the Mac sticky

It looks like the rivets ontop the new ones is for reinforcing the top.

What's the scoop on the China-made aluminum hard hats? It is what it is I guess. I need one for later this summer but its place of manufacture gives me the willies. So what's the word from people who actualy wear one? Thanks.

Conspiracy theory: That seems a shade high. Your alls bar oil is $5 a gallon, but they are gouging you on the chains? I am paying under $20 for 28" worth of Oregon round ground full-skip chisel, just sayin'. Or did I mss something?

You could probably start charging people to have a look at your Mac collection.

Granberg file-n-joint is what I use. Its not sintered steel, but hey, the saw cuts good. There was some break in time on my FJ and it files & adjusts much smoother now after 2 or three years,

I figured it was a gimmick for homeowners. I am not alone in my estimation as I can see. I don't use the thing anyways on my 460 Rancher. Compression release is also a laugher.

How much do you value making comments like "I have nards of Stihl"? Is is it a deal breaker to settle for Husqvarna? Or is Le Poulan-Rouge more your style? You can't hide a crap saw. Chevy and Ford blah blah blah--so many are not even used like a truck. But most of us still (STIHL?) use chainsaws.

You know, "noodle" was not in my vocabulary before I joined AS. If it don't split easy I rip it so that it does. And I don't mess with that if I can lift it. My splitter is a beast with a 2-stage pump. Not to bragg, but it will crush through anything!

Not everybody is a marketing wiz I suppose....sounds like they work...

Do you wipe it on & off with a rag or do you apply it more heavily on the steel? I just bought a gallon the other day, so I cannot claim to reject the stuff 100 percent.

I never used more than my own dirty hands to condition a tool handle with, but I got into fixing up old tools and axes and I thought I would give BLO a try since it is mentioned in some back-to-the-land type publications and is all over the Internet as well. I don't use it on the tools I...

I guess I have it easy--I ran a small amount of bug kill Ponderosa pine through my hydro splitter the other day. Those rounds look like a pretty good workout.

I can see that being a problem--it happens to me when I am cutting fire wood already.

I am not entirely sold on the virtues of Boiled Linseed Oil for treating tool handles...I would welcome an experiment with canola to see how it fares.

I have been wondering of Hickory is not a little overrated for handles. I may have to try an apple handle if I ever get around to making some handles.

That's nice--looks cool where it forked
