NO. I did smash an old weed-eater that was ready for the trash anyway, felt really stupid afterward and won't do it again.
Saws cost too much.

What's a henway?
yup, or it's nothing and it's everything. 90 feels like a hundred, a twig threw your chain and dinged the drivers, again. you set down your gloves and they are gone, brambles to the left, brambles to the right. you want to produce and the little **** just got big. writing it can't put you there, but I know where it is.
That has nothing to do with it. I don't get mad at my computer and throw the monitor or smash the keyboard, just because I can't get a class to compile or can't get a program to run. That's just a complete lack of self control. In no way am I suggesting I always excercise perfect self control, but throwing or tearing up stuff is pretty rediculous IMHO.

I don't think I'm proud that I do, but no call to be proud you don't. I'd just say you haven't yet.

I'm 42. I'm not trying to come across proud here. I'm just saying there are much better ways to deal with anger than further complicating your problems.

Some of us don't deal with frustration well. It can be like flipping a switch some times. I haven't thrown much in a while, but I try to do a bit of shooting these days and that really helps a guy unwind...

I'm 49. Yeah it might be absurd, I'll grant that. And what you say sure sounds nice, I might try it. The other possibility is that I am dealing with my frustrations quite graciously already, and tossing a saw is damned poetic.
Sorry if I implied you were acting proud.
I understand that we're all wired differently. I think that's the main difference here. But if you're going to throw your saw, make sure you break it. Either do it right, or don't do it at all

I could sure use a brake/handguard. Though it works fine old style single pivot, been running that way for a month.
You must be doing it right, lol!
Make that saw feel your pain!

I've got to agree with brad on this one. Throwing a saw is ridiculous akin to a terrible twos temper tantrum.
So does that mean teasterroad needs a spanking? I'll leave that to you space mule:greenchainsaw:
Almost chucked my Stihl FS40 a week or so ago when the recoil broke. Actually it would have been the second time it was chucked, the first time was when it would not start........... and the wife and I were arguing.

That is true.
Part of the problem is the release of adrenalin that needs to be burned up with aerobic activity.
Smashing the living crap out of the saw with the axe, would be much more effective at achieving the desired reduction of stress.
Stay safe!

I had a makita 34cc top handle that was apparently afraid of heights. I was working on a pole barn and needed to trim the top of the wall poles off. I would start the saw on the ground, make sure it was running ok, then climb up onto the roof. Crank and crank and crank, and it would not start. Climb down, check everything over, crank a couple times and it would run. Back up, nothing, back down, good. After about the 6th time of that, I gave er a good fling from the roof. Got down and went and got another saw, and worked perfect the 1st time. That top handle is still sitting on my shelf in the barage, waiting for some day when I feel like finding parts. Then I am selling it to the first sucker that comes along!
Some days it just feels better to give the object of your grief a good shove. Just make sure its not your boss when the time comes.
