It's hateful to wear chaps in the heat, for sure, but if you don't you might live to regret it. You don't have to look far on these boards to find stories of folks who've been cut, often just doing "a quick job".

The 28” version of that one looks like it would be a good felling wedge driver, with that big flat poll.

Sounds like it turned out well all the way around. Congratulations on your new saw!

Unfortunately, I don't think the X27 has a head that will accept a wooden handle. It's a very "modern" axe. This image came off the Fiskars website; it obviously is not my own.

I hope somebody offers you a solution. The X27 handle, in particular, is painful for me to use because it literally rings like a bell with every strike in tougher wood. The Isocore maul handle, being solid, is a little better. But like you I prefer a wooden, vibration-dampening handle. Good luck...

I can add nothing to what's already been offered except the price difference is strongly in favor of the Echo, as well, especially if it's at a discount off MSRP. But it's not just a cheap saw - it's actually a very good saw.

They seem to have a gift for knowing when you're trying to take a break. :meparto:

I like that, and have never seen one before. Wish it were still available. Nice find, @hdyk !

They're too busy trying to raffle off a 500i to entice folks to download their junk app. They are always after you to pay an annual membership but now they have a 500i to give away?

Well, a free cake isn't bad! LOL

Now AS is offering a chance at a free Stihl 500i if you just download their app, ironically enough on a platform named "Gather". Yes, indeed, I bet it is gathering, alright. And all of a sudden folks who joined years ago and have three prior posts in all that time are showing up to say "I love...

"Could caus" is not the same as "prove it caused"; a key part of that act is that if a warranty is denied, the manufacturer/dealer has to prove the failure was caused by non-OEM parts or labor. That keeps a dealership from saying, "well, you could have loosened the wheel when you changed the...

Does the Magnusson Moss Act not apply to chainsaws? You usually see it referred to regarding automobiles and DIY oil changes and such things, but I thought it applied to other consumer product warranties as well. In regard to aftermarket parts and third party/homeowner work: " A manufacturer...

Thank you, much appreciated!

If it's lasted that long, for $100 I'd be interested in knowing what brand it is, if you ever have a chance to take a look, just to keep from beating up my Echo weedeater. I'm sure it's more expensive now, but I'm looking to do some brush clearing before spring and then won't ever use it much.
