Stihl Tri-ing
Nope, neither will this, she doesn't wear much . By the way, how much does your wife wear/how many and what kind of saws do you have .
One great thing for me is my wife likes the smell of 2-stroke oil, cheapest cologne out there, $5-7 a gallon .
My addiction is still in the early stages, and is more fixing broken power tools. (PAD?) I only have 2 saws (so far), 3 string trimmers (not working), 1 working string trimmer, 1 electric edger, 1 blower (2 cycle), 1 electric shopvac/blower, 1 saws-all, 1 working push mower, 1 non working push mower. Almost all were curb finds. Over the past year or two I've found, fixed and sold almost as much stuff. Which is financing what I call phase 2, watching Craigslist for stupid good deals. (The 026 was a $50 Craigslist find)
To keep this thread somewhat on track; Saturdays, Sundays, & Monday mornings, when I have an extra minute or two, I'll 'take the long way' driving places and hunt a neighborhood or two for curb finds. People tend to clean out their garages & do yard work on weekends.
Have a pre-set budget and be patient on Craigslist, assume everything is going to need at least basic maintenance (fuel filter, fuel lines, carb rebuild, sparkplug, maybe air filter, and pull cord) The descriptions can really help too, like there's an ad right now in my area for a push mower for $20, the that says "Was running good, hit a big root, now it won't start" pretty much a classic flywheel key, maybe a $1 part, or a bent drive shaft which might not be worth replacing. But you have a good idea of what's wrong and what to look for before you even look at it. Just don't get too excited about the flywheel key and forget to check basics. Flywheel key + carb rebuild + air filter + rear wheel + throttle cable... now your in the area of not being proffitable even on a $20 mower.
