Give it a little scroll. One of Randy's had damage to the clutch cover during shipping. That definitely does not bode well for use...

That didnt answer anything we do it all the time..cut into the wire and see if the plastic clutch cover helps
Lots of good info and cordial conversation here guys. I like it
You do?
Yes ..alot of trees we trim are emersed in powerlines..a clutch cover isnt gonna save you if you become part of the equation
I was talking about the plastic handle .That didnt answer anything we do it all the time..cut into the wire and see if the plastic clutch cover helps
And you think I don't know that huh?
Then what was your point in working hot lines ?...it no arguement from me..but i doubt the handle and clutch cover are gonna save you if you lay into somethin with that much juice

Unless working hot lines
That's a BIG NON-ISSUE for me. I know some of you need to be concerned, and I understand fully.
But for me......that's NOT for me. You all stay safe dammit.
The more plastic the better is my point ! Would you prefer metal by primaries? You are insulting me I been doing this 40 years! WTF dude I guess you are a know it all!
I agree that more may be better .. but i wouldnt count on it...if you take that as an insult you need thicker skin bubbles.
I just realized I am confused. That is 10 lbs 8.6 ounces. So 10.6 lbs or so. Not bad at all.
I know all this stuff I was merely saying it would be a good thing near wires as opposed to metal. I use rubber linemans gloves and a hydraulic stick near primaries.

This might sound like a dumb question, but I want to ask it anyways.
When you know you're going to be working close to, or maybe among some power lines, do you have any specific safety equipment that you use on your saws? Something like rubber panels that you can attach to it? Maybe a rubber shield that can be wrapped around it to provide some level of electrical insulation? I know that you can't do anything for the b/c.
Or......are you just be aware of the risks and be as careful as possible?
I cant argue that..and i wouldnt..and my point was i wouldnt rely on those 2 components to keep me safe..im sure theres exceptions but id imagine if your gonna make contact that 9 out of 10 times its gonna be with your bar..i dont ever wanna find out.
You in a bucket or on spurs?
Ive spent my time on spurs , i dont have a ton of bucket expierence

A stick saw like that it is insulated then rubber gloves rubber boots and a bucket truck that is insulated and still you want no contact or rain.
