I'm thinking that these will be easier to seal against those pesky tire stems, than the 'ball' end ones I have now
Will get some valve extenders just in case.

Got a specific recommendation?
I looked at some of those online. The ‘tire service grade’ ones were rated up to 160psi, but comments said that they weren’t very accurate in the 30-35 pound range that I need.

I just had a weird conversation with him. He was talking about working it up for me, then abruptly said he didn’t like that saw (CS-271). The 2511 was a powerhouse, but he didn’t like the other saw, and doesn’t want to get involved. Then I said what longer bar would you put on the 2511, and he said he didn’t want to get involved in my project. And ended the call.
Mine are blue point . I have 2 gauges like the one I showed. The one shown stops at 100psi. I'm sure any other brand will work just as well. Never had an issue with it being off on the lower pressure side of things. Always matched what my wifes and mothers cars dash says.

SVK, this photos for you pal
I talk to echo corporate and let them know what a Richard this guy is. That's bs. There has to be someone near you that wants to sell saws. Not sure if you do Facebook but it's a good place to post a grievance on their home page.
+48f and raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock. If this crap ever turns to snow, we will need a trackhoe to dig us out
That's the best description I've ever heard!
I thought that was my feeder at first, and was thinking, I don't remember posting that pic? Then I saw your post was white and mines black. I have a large Woodpecker suit box on one side and a Squirrel Buster on the other.
I don't think I ever had some one else do my tires, and only a few times in bad weather let them do my oil. When I bought my new truck two years ago, I got a note in the mail for two free oil changes. I had just scheduled for them to put a brake controller in the truck, and added the free oil change. When I got there the clerk said if I got all of my oil changes at that dealership, they warranted the engine for life. They charge $70 for oil and rotation, so now I let them do it. Being the twin turbo they have to put good oil in it.
You know, I ranted for years about the Husky dealer that blew me off 4 days in a row when I was looking for a milling saw. Told him I had cash in hand, wanted a 3120 with 24", 42" and 60" bars. Or what ever size they had closest to those. He said he was short handed and would get back the next day. Next day he said he forgot and would get back the next day. Then he said he would have to order it and it would be 2-3 days, but forgot to work up a price. Fourth day a local still dealer had 880's on the shelf. Wound up getting the 660 instead. Called back and told him never mind I went to Stihl. But, I had done business with him before and they were top notch. A couple years later I went to him again and he was top notch. I think he had a really bad week going when I was trying to get the 3120. Then again, he didn't tell me to go away, he didn't want to sell me the saw. I'd be tempted to say something to corporate, un less there is some detail we are missing.

We do something similar at my dealership. Just last week we covered a engine for a lady, her rear main seal went and she drove it until it locked up. 2.4 Chevrolets are known to have the gunk in the breather freeze, causes rear main failure.....
last week we had 7 come in on the hook. 2 the customers stopped before doing too much damage. One was still under GM warranty so a crank and four rods went in. One the insurance company totaled on the guy and cut him a check. I suggest all the guys that live in very cold climates, check that little breather tube that comes off your valve covers and runs to the intake.....

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
Me too! Works great. The crazy birds around me are cardinals. I'll get anywhere from 4-10 males in the feeders at a time. Probably just as many downy wood peckers as well.
Cold is well just dependant upon the climate your used to. Butter on the table 3' away from the stove stays hard but its still comfortable inside, I can go out to the outhouse in my boots or crocs in 2'of snow and its do-able. From the Arctic to Norway/Sweden to my stomping ground any day, no bugs! Hot places arent my thing, and more effort is required to keep my beer cold. I have worked in most of the southern states and a few crappy desert regions in the middle east, hell i'd take cold anyday!
Its with almost any engine in cold climates unless it has a heated airbox or intake
Can always put more clothes on is my thought. Once your nekkid its game over.
Nothing pertinent. I’m puzzled with his behavior, I’m not sure what happened. He could have told me why he didn’t like that saw. Or recommended one in the size range I was asking about, he left me hanging. He made it clear he was done talking.
Sometimes I get these giant birds at my feeder
