So what did you buy today

[Partner]

Sander for $5, damaged power cord, cleaning and lubrication of course, check the attack wheel, it will last or fall apart Look at the caps and don't do that He is 25 years old It is extremely uncomfortable due to its angular housing and lack of an additional handle

You probably answered this already; do you collect the tools you repair, or re-sell them, or . . . ?

Thanks.

I think I'll open a museum

How do you fix the lubrication? Just new grease to the gear wheel, or somewhere else too?

older equipment has open bearings, so I wash and lubricate them, newer ones have covers that I remove from one side. The attack wheel breaks due to hammer blows

Paid $25 apiece for the batteries, new inventory closeouts. I might just have to pick up a few more tomorrow.

I’d be stocking up if I found em that cheap! Never seems to be enough good batteries to go around here .

The grinder costs $5, the smallest one is 25 years old, the spring is installed backwards and the fan needs to be replaced, Interestingly, there are caps where the additional handle is mounted

Bought climbing ppe in advance of doing the training course because it was on sale. A lot of money involved in getting into this tree business.
In Ireland you are required to have type C trousers, helmet with chin strap and saw proof boots and gloves to climb.

What kind of C-pants are these? Leather shoes and gloves? Or other

 

[Partner]

Today, a Chinese grinder for $5, I added a cable and a service cover and replaced the bearing under the fan

Where do you get your parts?

I assume that cables, and some bearings are generic.

But ive run into things made by Milwaukee (switches) and Makita (clutches) NLA.

Not even some obscure brand.


Thanks.

I only repair those that require little effort, you can install a different switch. The rest is left aside. e.g. for the price of a new rotor you can buy several grinders to be serviced

 

[Partner]

Today, an easy job, cleaning the switch from sawdust, I added a cable and 4 screws for the rear handle. Chinese grinder for $5 the largest 5" grinder motor with speed regulation

From left: 268 pop up going into a 372, then a ms180 pop up, and finally a ms440 popup.

 

[Wilhelm]

Yeah. Seemed stupid expensive, compared to a file. But once I had it, I really liked it.

There are cheap eBay ones, that are not as good. We discussed these quite a bit in a thread on A.S.;

Bar dressing

No, not some kind of salad dressing. How do you dress your bars? Freehand or something along the Oregon jig style?

I have a clone off eBay, IIRC it was under 10$ shipped from China.
At first I thought of replacing the flat file, but it wasn't necessary so far.
I like it enough that I purchased a spare one.

I don't get much wear on my bars, but used chainsaw purchases tend to come with badly worn rails.
I dressed a couple dozen bars so far and the cheap bar dresser is holding up fine.

Today, just a few things for the garage for $10 because the rain chased us away / I don't know what those two metal objects T are at the bottom
