Wernesgrüner from Aldi. I don’t know that it ranks as the best, but the most affordable at $5.99+tax for a 4 pack .5l cans. I haven’t tried a lot, but I haven’t ran across a German beer I did not like.

Thank you, as long as none of the above are concerned about the health of the operator I will continue to use it unless I can find something lower cost than this. It’s only a chainsaw. I use this oil as a diesel fuel lubricity enhancer as well.

Correct, JASO FD appears to be okay.

I heard a bark box today for the first time. I could not imagine running one all day on a job. Not only for the operator’s sake but anyone within an eighth mile radius of it. A full wail siren is less noise pollution than this thing.

I don’t dispute their findings but one component left out was the cost of each product. There is no way to determine the best cost vs. benefit from this testing.

Country Visions CO-OP De Pere, WI 5 years ago the cost was around $25USD per gallon. This recent increase is 10.5% alone. I agree Schaeffer’s oil prices overall have become more akin to Amsoil where the cost is not worth any perceived benefit. Diesel fuel prices here have gone up 15% in the...

Sticker shock! Increased from $37.99 last year to $40.99+tax now.

Nice, their arctic package uses that same connector to the switch as well.👍

Neat relic. A 96 year old neighbor of mine bought one of those brand new in the early ‘50’s. He said it weighed 37 lbs. The gear drive would rip the rivets out of the chain if it hung up on anything. It gave him Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome that caused him to give up full time logging by the late...

That is one well taken care of power saw.👍

I was diagnosed with stage 3b squamous cell cancer of the left upper lobe in 2021. They surgically removed the lobe and had to take a section of ribs also and then referred to it as stage 4. The tumor was spreading. Underwent chemo and radiation therapy. My pulmonary function is 68% of normal so...

To me, GM truck/SUV quality declined after the year 2000. I once had a ‘94 full size blazer that I sold with 344,000 miles on it some 10 years ago. What was remarkable, the drive train including ball joints and tie rod ends were all original. About the best vehicle I have ever owned. That OBS is...

I’m betting it’s the aftermarket carburetor!

Those look like the coveted Dolmar/makita Spike bars! Pressure/vacuum test In order to rule out an air leak. Is that an OEM carburetor? I would start checking the fuel line and filters first. Others here with far more experience will chime in👍

I watched a video from Europe a couple of months ago stating that new sales of both Husqvarna and Stihl saws were down already last year there. Inflation is catching up...
