Bitwarden user myself. Works well and is awesome for complex passwords that are dictionary attack and social media resistant, etc. Think random capitalization, numbers, and symbols!

Absolutely! I am looking at the newer Generac iQ3500 for reduced noise applications (think a window AC unit in a bedroom) and for keeping laptops and cell phones topped up. A bit spendy at a $1,000 street price but, over 2/3rds less than a similar Honda unit and without all extraneous stuff...

You need the right tool for the job. The contractor gensets are really hard on computers used in a lot of things so, I would keep that in mind. For AC units, water well pumps, freezers, and similar things, probably not a concern for the most part.

I have mixed feelings on CO-minders as well but, there are a lot of stupid people out there that are forcing these on everything due to litigation concerns and various regulations at the local and federal levels.

I have a well worn factory 16" bar on my 241-CM today. All I seem to find are mainly 14" with a few 16" factory Stihl bars. The 18" or even a 20" bar in the lightweight format would be nice but, where do I find one for a reasonable price? The only ones I have found are at scalpers for a price...

I know Honda generators have near-legend status for many people in many applications but, boy are they expensive. I am not interested in the no-name cheap big box store options either. I have a Generac GP3600 which works well but, lacks 240V service and a clean power inverter. Great for...

How about Ed Brown mags? Personally, I have had good luck with Wilson Combat and CMC mags.

So far, all the sites I have tried with the Cannon, Sugihara, and Tsumura bars in a 16" or 18" size have been out of stock when I went to the checkout or address verification phase of the order. :(

Yep, the only ones I see are 12" and 14". They list 16", 18", and, 20" bars though on the factory website. The sites listed on Google show some of those options but, they are out of stock or back ordered with expected deliveries as far out as March 2024! Sugihara searches have been very...

How do they compare to the Cannon out of Canada which is currently out of stock?

The 16" low-pro guide bar on my MS241-CM has a tip problem causing a lot of drag so it is bogging my saw down. That bar has seen a lot of use and should have a lot of life left but, the tip got pinched felling a tree so I blame myself as much as anything for the problem. I believe it is 55...

Thanks Radio!

Will 91VXL cut differently? It looks like 91PXL bumper/guards only come into play on the nose of the bar so I'm wondering if 91VXL would cut better.

I am running this chain on an Echo CS-361P. As a side note, this is an awesome little saw that was a real steal during Echo Customer Appreciation days at 20% off. :) Oregon 91PXL is ok chain but, nothing to get excited about. In the loops I have, chain life is inconsistent and not what it...

I'm loving my Echo SRM-2620 right now.
