I have blue 255, 272, 372XP, 660 in stock new and one used 466 with leaky gas tank and oiler not working.

The black ones are China made, UK distributed, Monkey Beaver dealered in the US. The new models are made by TsuMura now and very very pricey. Here are the Stihl ones. https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product-category/panther-mini-bars-for-stihl/

Certainly you want to make sure there is a clear path from the saw oiler slot to the bar groove. Enlarge existing or drill new holes in the bar to match. Having an external oiler at the far end of the bar would be a good idea too. What’s the part number for the bar? I can ask them about oil...

I once stepped on a needle & thread with my big toe. Once.

Gold shows up now! If you did it, thanks!

Looks like my Gold got snuffed.

The V-Modest and KNK that I sell are not only different from each other, they are vastly different from the Echo. The clutches look to be the only thing that is the same and I'm sure that's because they are a purchased part rather than an in-house made part.

Yep the caps are different sizes. Say goodbye to accidently mixing them up and causing irreversible nothingness!

So far, so good. They recently released a version with a 1/4" bar and chain right from the factory but the bar is way too thick to work with the chain. I still need to gather up some more details and a video of the issue for them so they can see the problem and fix it. For now I'd have to...

The 888 is a much more modern saw. Unless you're just after the nostalgia I wouldn't get the 070. It's heavy, has no AV and no chain brake. The 888 has a much better air filter, bigger engine which is more powerful and revs higher. It is more money though. But for good reason.

Bird perch.

I swear I’ve seen that picture somewhere before. I just can’t quite place it. Oh well, it’ll come to me. 🤣

We had a big red oak fall last night and this little bugger flat ate it up!

These little clones hit the shelves today, beating Neotec to the punch. We have some in stock plus they are on fleabay and probably the Zon. $160 including shipping. I tried one out a couple weeks ago and it does pretty darn good. It's not a screamer but has plenty of torque. I'll have one on...

I’m getting that inch high slide up ad at the bottom of my screen. I’ve had it for the better part of a week now.
