Having the right tool.......

[Mastermind]

I need me one of those John.......... :msp_thumbup:

Very.....very nice.

I have the stihl seal puller, flywheel puller, 029 family ring compressor, case splitter, pressure vac tester and they are invaluable tools, but they aren't cheap. You should be able to get them from your dealer, but if u can't contact some fellow AS members and they should be able to buy them from their dealer and send them off to you.

I used to have a Stihl made work stand similar to the one John made, but I ended up giving it to my buddy that is a stihl dealer. He said they were fairly rare.

I would be intersted some part numbers and pics. Might be able to fabricate one myself.

This just came yesterday. I think I could fab one up for myself, it doesn't look too difficult.
This one is for the shop. I can verify the price this afternoon but I think it was around $340.

Very nice machine work on the Saw Holder. The clamps look as if they have machined & heat treated also.

Sure is.....when you grow up maybe you can get some stuff like that too. :msp_tongue:

Owie! I heard that all the way up here!

Do you need a different wrench for each different movement of the powerhead with that stand? And is that mass produced or is that a one-off deal?


I like this one with the single lever freeing everything up and locking it down, no tools required:

Nice tools guys.....good thread Randy.....I thought I would go over to the shop a take a couple pics but once I started thinking and taking pics I found that I actually had many more saw specific tools than I had thought about...new, used and made myself. There'll be three sets of 5 pics each and of course they don't include wrenches, sockets, gasket making tools, grinders, edge sanders, chain spinner and breaker, air compressors, air ratchets etc. etc. etc.


001.......because I need to frequently see small things better than I do!!!

002.......carb tools, home made carb and Ex blockers, piston stops, Stihl screw driver with a "V" ground in the end fof circlips,
and though it didn't quite make the pic on the far right is a "Fast Tach"

003.......box of straight end and ball end crapsman Metric T-Handles

004.......caliper and a VERY cool box PB gave me....

005........top level of "very" cool box

More saw Tools


006.....Lower level of "very" cool box

007.....Power head holder

008.....Same

009.....Jonsereds/Husky case splitter

010.....Puller I made to pull the flywheels and clutches on Jonsereds models 49sp,52/52E 621, 66/70E, 80 and 90 and perhaps
others...

Having the right tool is a blessing sometimes. Show off the tools you've collected that make working on saws a breeze. Here's a few that I use pretty regularly....

I couldn't make it without these. How I ported a saw before I got a rt angle handpiece I don't know.

Looks like the bench and tools of a crazed Brazilian dentist!!!!!!!!

More Saw Tools


011......bearing puller/seperator

012......Jonsered kiln for heating cases/bearings etc...

013......Tecomec chain grinder on plywood stand for quick removal

014......Bondus Torx T-handles....including the elusive T-27

015......Mityvac pressure and vac pump kit....(very good rig IMHO)

So that's my stash of saw tooling at present.....as soon as a couple of these deadbeats come and pay for their rebuilt saws I will have enough cash to purchase the CC Specialities small 2 stroke porting kit (with the right angle handpiece that Randy showed) $600 is a lot of scratch but I like tools of all types and am in business so it's just another tax write off to me. If you're going to do it you might as well have the right tool for the job....and not beat your head against the wall, be it working wood, metal or whatever....

I gotta have a powerhead holder. :msp_wub:

I gotta have a powerhead holder. :msp_wub:

LOL Wicked handy .......don't know how you get by without one the amount of saws you do...I hate chasing a rolling saw around or only having one hand to work with because the other is always holding the saw down....but now I want another one too!!!

 

[TK]

I gotta have a powerhead holder. :msp_wub:

Yes they are awesome! I went a few years without one wanting one.... But they have a price tag.... After getting it it's worth every friggin cent!

 

[TK]

And I'm not sure I can go about posting all of my specific tools, got too many lol

[brncreeper]

Lathe question: Hey Randy, what's your tooling for cylinder work?

 

[Cantdog]

Yes they are awesome! I went a few years without one wanting one.... But they have a price tag.... After getting it it's worth every friggin cent!

LOL I really lucked out on the one I have...got it off ebay...$89.00 shipped!!! It came from a defunct saw shop in the PNW..sellers didn't even know what it was..........but I did!!!!! I think I sniped with a $300.00 bid in the last seconds..I was that willing. Funny thing though...it isn't new but I have taken it all apart and there is not a number on any part or any tag nor any place where a tag might have been...so I have no idea where it came from....I don't think China....I think this is good ol USA stuff...... the grease fitting says alot!!!
