New Kind of Saw

[Elmore]

Trade in that Stihl, donate that Husky to a charity. Invest in extension cords and save fuel...the Alligator is here.

that saw (?) looks really scary.
Can it handle anything over 1" wood ? Can you mod it ?

But I bet you feel good that you don't work for Black and Decker ! This "saw" looks like it was created by a market-minded individual, not someone who understands what is needed for doing work. I guess I shouldn't make any comment since I've never used one before, but thing looks like a useless gimmic.

That thing looks like it should be cutting victims out of crashed cars, not cutting wood.

What are you guys talking about? It's perfect for its intended use!



It will do a very good job of increasing B&D's profits by removing cash from homeowner's pockets, while reducing the possibility of lawsuits resulting from injuries..


Said homeowners will have moderate success in trimming small limbs, probably up to 1 1/2" or maybe even 2" in diameter.

For a season or three. Then the "blade" will be dull, and it will hang in the garage for a few years, to finally be sold at a garage sale.

Good eye retoocs555...if I were paying attention I would have seen your post.

I really do love the video.

 

[BlueRidgeMark]

Yeah, I think that's one of my neighbors using the chainsaw. I have one on each side of me that complains about a dull "blade" and saws with that thing like he's using a bowsaw.

I really do love the video.

Did anyone notice the guy in the video with the chainsaw? Wonder if he knew to start the engine instead of just moving the bar back and forth on the log? I guess if you had the chain brake locked you might eventually get somewhere.

I can't believe SAP hasn't jumped on this thread. Sure looks like something he'd have an opinion on. Could this be his next mill saw?
