So what did you buy today

[Philbert]

2, 5-pound splitting wedges. Look new? $6 for the pair.

Also, a 3 hp, Toro snowthrower, with Tecumseh 2-stroke. Free. Needs a pull cord? (Low risk)

This is something for me

You can never have too many screnches. I paid around £0.50 / 65 cents each for these. The bottom four have Phillips screwdriver ends. Less useful. I can't think of a chainsaw I own that has Phillips screws. They must be for weed whackers?



Then these spark plug wrenches and box wrenches were in the lot.

+ I know the screwdriver from Chinese chain tensioners in chainsaws

Probably string trimmers. I’ve seen some with T-27 Torx on the end. Some 2- piece ones (like a plumbing faucet wrench), Some folding ones (see link, below).

I guess you could flatten out the ends of the Phillips ones, if you were bored!

Thread 'New, Flat Scrench'

Dec 21, 2016

The scrench is probably the most widely recognized chainsaw tool. It is probably also the most frequently lost. While we could carry a separate wrench and screwdriver, few do. And if you look in catalogs, you will find dozens of variations of the classic 'T' style scrench, which is simple to use, but hard to fit in a pocket.

So I was interested in this flat, folding design offered by OTT (www.3ott.com). It consists of a machined aluminum handle, with a folding screwdriver, and a pivoting socket (13mm and 19mm) that fits the bar nuts on many saws.



The tool comes in...

I got done early and took a walk around the junkyard. My “cheap” 312k element needs some stuff but parts are expensive and scarce for 09-11. Had I realized that before I would have probably parted this out. Anyway two years ago I pulled parts off this car at the yard and somehow the carcass was still there. It doesn’t look like much but it’s a good find. There were only 14k of the 09-11 made. There’s a bunch of small odd and ends not pictured.

A friend brought a Chinese chainsaw and says he wants $5 for a beer even the cylinder didn't get dirty. 2 shock absorbers and fuel lines are torn, the piston is also damaged after some changes, and yet the chainsaw starts even though it loses fuel

Good score. They have a cult like following. Nice clean examples still bring good money.

I bought a coffee today. Tasted like ass. I think I got the old “let’s combine all the mostly empty pots together to make a full one and brew some more.” Sometimes it pays to wait for the fresh pot to finish brewing.
