Heated Handles?

Perhaps you're being sarcastic, in which case ignore the rest of my post.

You're 18, right? Or almost 18 perhaps? Did you know that blood circulation gets worse the older you get? Also, I'm not sure where you live in Oregon, but there's places that people cut wood in sub-zero temperatures. You spend much time cutting below zero? If so, please enlighten me about which "good pair of gloves" I should try out. Keep in mind, heated handles on some models adds about $100 to the price. There's some nice gloves out there, but they aren't cheap. Saving money on heated handles only to have to buy $40 gloves instead of the $7 ones I wear is a false economy. Also, right before I got a heated saw, I was on a tree removal job. Started the day at 40 degrees with rain. By 3:00 it was about 18 and snowing. I had soaked through 3 pairs of gloves and was on my fourth pair of the day. I could barely feel my fingers. Heated handles would have been a godsend that day.

Overrated? Maybe to you. To me, priceless (unless you're selling a heated saw to me. In that case, yeah they're nice, but it's not like I can't live without them. )

I was being sarcastic. Hence the Wink face. Sheesh! Humor gone or what?

I really wish I had a need for something that big. I haven't even been able to rationalize myself in to a 441CM-VW (Yet...).

After being spoiled with my Arctic 661.....I wish all my saws had heated handles.

I can get all the parts for my 064 except the friggin flywheel lol.


Have not even looked into what the 7900 needs to be heated.

It is nice to turn the heat off in the summer, and in the fall turn it on when needed.


As woodchuckr said once

"Real men don't use gloves. They use heated handles."

How much you payin? lol Coldest temps I've cut in would be 5 degrees. First 30 minutes was a bit cold, but keeping a quick pace I still worked up a dang sweat.

Well stock of the MS261CN-VW's has finally reached Western Canada. I am going to the dealer tomorrow to get the 3 he has for me.

If anyone wants one now is the time...

So I just checked Canada Post Tracking and @Ryan Browne and @Gravitas your saws are out for delivery today.

4 days ahead of schedule, that's awesome news!! Especially since my wife will be gone all afternoon...

I did some thinning in my new sugarbush section yesterday (it's a lot easier to drop trees and skid logs before there's tubing everywhere). It was darned cold. Thanks to @old guy I kept my fingers warm on the 440vw I have, but even with an 18" bar it was a little overkill considering the biggest tree I felled was probably 14". The 261 will be put to use within 24 hours of delivery.

You, Gary, are the man. Hell of a deal you passed along, thank you very much brother.

Yeah.....that's mine. I just hope the foyer isn't the same place you keep the Cannon bars..............
