I can`t see them holding up even for a homeowner firewood cutter. Cripes the homeowner firewood cutters I know can wreck a Stihl 028 and its built like a tank.
When I first started buying up chainsaws from the US I could get them shipped up here for $42.through USPS Priority Mail International, the latest ones cost me $120. Sure glad I gots so many I don`t need to ship many more now.
I am sure it will , may take a little time.
My Nephew could trash it on its first tank ! LOL
It is real strange, I am just swamped with work and the calls keep coming in continuously from people looking to get projects done wanting to know if I can take them on or if I know someone that can take them on.
Only reason I have is for a loaner,I know they would break it very fast ! They bring it back broke feeling real bad,then I could just laugh at them ! :hmm3grin2orange:
I only choose who I sell one of my 028`s to and have not had any come back damaged so far but I have repaired quite a few with ripped out AV buffers and torn manifold boots. Some were unrepairable with busted out bar studs and ripped out top handles and the like.
Well then ! I can bring her up there for the summer to work,then down to NC for the winter to work ! :hmm3grin2orange:
They can't seem to understand , if you get it pinched, DON'T YANK IT OUT !!
Now how do I talk her into that ? :help:
Better still, go over to San Fran, they can`t get enough people that actually can get **** done over there. All them silicon valley millionaires need people than can get **** done. It`s all I hear about when I am over there.

The NS rate don`t take in the entitlement attitude the unemployed think they are entitled to . They all expect top wages but don`t want to put out anything for that. I was chatting with my electrician last evening after work hours. He can`t believe the attitudes of the apprentices his employer is hiring lately. They come on the jobsite and all they want to do is poke their Blackberries all day. They don`t produce 1.5 hours of actual work per 8 hr shift. He is a 34 year journeyman and has a crew of electricians under him and he sees it getting worse every year. His employer now wants him to take sensitivity training so that he does not hurt the apprentices feelings if he asks them to go to the job box to get him something he needs to accomplish an install.

I find just North of San Fran to be just about the same as around here and could live there easily but anywhere South of San Fran is too much different to me and I only like to drive through it and look around.
