The above were both owned by the same man. He loaned those units to a guy at church. Now he's not happy , would you be? The saw is cooked and the trimmer has a carb full of water, not good.

Looks like a good excuse to get another chainsaw and trimmer. Always keep a loaner saw handy, just incase you BIL or neighbor needs to borrow. In my fleet “the loaner” is expatriated HD 6401. Comes complete with mix, bar oil and plenty of safety chains. Keeps the peace in the family and if it died tomorrow owes me nothing and gives me something to wrench on.

Ha! I have an echo 550evl as my loaner saw. I pull it out, fire it up in 3 pulls right in front of the borrower, give them a small can of mix and send them on their way. Happy cutting....er...well...actually as soon as it warms up it will cut out and not restart. Then they have to bring it back, head hung low and explain how they messed up my saw. I am very understanding of course
But they never come back to borrow a saw again! One day I'll put that good coil in that saw.....one day.

I will not lend a saw nor will I lend my wife, and in that order.
I lend my BR600 to my father, neighbor across the street, and the best man at my wedding. I figure my father let me use his tools, I can return the favor. Regardless of who has it, my gas can goes with it full of fresh mix. Nothing is idiot proof, but if you give them the fuel it is pretty hard to break a BR600.
I will cut for others, but not lend my saws.

I do Not Loan any of My Equipment, not in 28 years. If I do it comes with an Operator

Tommy, asit looks in the background of your pictures, you need a few more little orange Stihl screwdrivers hanging on your strip. If your running low I am sure I could send you a few.
