Duke's saw chain

[ammoaddict]

Use a corn cob or a branch the size of a store bought handle. That’s what I do.

Grandpa always used corn cobs.

Just drill a hole in a golf ball, excellent handle.

I tried drilling one but I wound up slicing it.

Morning the auto correct on the Phone was joking, it say you have an injury of hand filing. I say you enjoy hand filing.

Damn auto correct!!!

The Dukes chain is the best compared to all chinese brands, if a semi skip chain show up, I will order 100 feet roll.

Heck yeah same even a full skip would be really sweet.

I've used duct tape before I was really desperate.

You peeps realize that the Husqvarna file handle don't cost the world and You have to buy it only once.
I got this one in a filing kit.
The kit is poop, the files are good & the handle is sweet.



Or You buy a Archer FastFiler roller guide kit and get this blue one - which I figured out can be a multitool much needed on most Dolmar saws.

I do too. I'm too cheap to buy a file handle.

Old golf ball with a hole drilled in it works great! (I see this has already been suggested)

I just have a old wooden handle one that was left over from all my dad's tools when he passed I think I've used it more than any of the other tools he had lol because I already had my own but it nice and comfortable in the hand compared to the plastic handles.

I appear to have accidentally hijacked this into a handle thread! My sincere apologies...

I actually have never used a handle, and not because I'm cheap (but I am cheap...). I generally hold the chain with my left hand, so having the tang rest on my wrist gives me more control, and makes it easy to adjust the filing pressure where I want it, i.e., upwards to the tooth or down into the gullet to lower the file.
