Been using spark testers for a million years or so and I have never had one malfunction or fail to show spark when there was spark or vise versa. My favorite has been HF. They tend to just fit better all around. Ive used two different ones from NAPA, a Lisle, the Stihl, and that OReillys one...

I’m in the process of building new bench. Got a great deal on two 46 inch Huskys that are unusual in that they are 24” deep instead of just 18”. Figured they would be the perfect candidates for this workbench build I have been kicking around for a bit. Should be done with it tomorrow.

These saws seem to start around $725 and that is for ones that have a bit of tree use.

I really don't think the majority of Stihl OEM parts are necessarily overpriced. Compared to other small equipment and the marginal spare part price increase over the marginal cost of a complete saw is no different. Nonetheless, what OEM costs compared to what you get can be shocking. The...

Used Hurrican Matthew salvaged Ipe for the cross slats. That stuff is so hard, stiff, and strong I did not even need a center support. Got the raised panel headboard done too. What am I saying? I got the whole thing done.

It would be really cool if they offered kits to convert most of the other Husky saws to Torx screws. Kind of how the flippy caps they made can be retroactively used on most of their saws.

I asked about that a bit back and was met with crickets. Is the first saw they have used these on? I don’t generally use Husky saws for only a few reasons. Outboard clutches, (I’m aware of the ones that have inboards) the brake system because of the outboard clutch, and hex head screws. Torx...

Cherry. Cut and milled it after Irma.

There we go. That makes sense.

Sometimes I can combine a few hobbies into one. Here is a bed I am working on Should probably post this in the “What are you making with your milled lumber” thread too.

Woodworking, welding/metal fab, leatherworking, tinkering on my 2000 V10 F250, 20 gauge and .410 shotguns

Pumping the diaphragm by pulling the starter rope worked for quite a long time prior to this. I am not against it necessarily but why now? When autos went to fuel injection you no longer needed a choke or to “pump” the throttle to start the vehicle. Seems like a step backward on a saw that has...

Somebody please tell me what the deal is with the primer button. They never had them on the carbureted saws and put one on an injected one?

Did you pull the seals before looking at the crank bearings? Ive inspected crank bearings without pulling the seals before and the result can be quite misleading. After pulling the seals bad bearings are very apparent. Other than that, a vac/pressure test can tell you what you need to know.

Only looking for an 046/460 cylinder or P&C now.

Stihl axes are made by Ochsenkopf. I have the Pro Forestry axeand it is pretty nice.

When did Husky start using Torx screws? That feature alone may be what makes me buy this saw. And if other ones have them, I may drop Stihl altogether.....well no. My Stihl dealer is walking distance from me.

Looking for decent one. Don't care about which variation it is but I am not paying a premium for an 046 D port or an 044 KS. PM with details and price.

https://savannah.craigslist.org/grd/d/chainsaw-msbar/6451616333.html Worth it.:eek: For sale here locally. I get the feeling I would not want an OEM 660 that this guy built.

There is a hugely disturbing number of people who think a top handle is ideal for this....
