I have no idea what sort of creatures those snack stick pieces are made from and how many legs they have, but I can't stop eating them.

Do they sell face masks and / or balaclavas? There might be a cheaper way to get a saw since the Taurus is only $250.....

Okay so somebody help me out here. There’s a Rural King right in town close to where I live. I was talking with the power equipment department manager about a 462 and he said they had sold two (2) TWO the whole year of 2024!!!! Yet the prices keep going up, seemingly every quarter???? What
IS
STIHL
SMOKING?

My vote is to give Echo a try. Little heavier and more grunt than speed maybe but well worth a try for the price.

Still driving my beater '79 F250. Will never buy any truck that has a computer in it. No way I'd ever buy a new truck. NEVER

Priced out new trucks last week...completely insane.

Today is the buy one get one free chain sale at a Stihl dealer south of me I used to buy around 100 loops a year from.
The current prices are:
33RS-72 $46.99 ($50.28 with tax)
33RS-84 $50.99 ($54.56 with tax)

Before Stihl corporate took over I paid

33RS-72 $24.00 ($25.68 with tax)
33RS-84 $28.00 ($29.96 with tax)

When I buying before it was buy one get one free also.

Using their current prices on the "sale day"
(50) 33RS-72 would be $1257.00
(50) 33RS-84 would be $1364.00
Total $2621.00

Before Stihl corporate took over the prices on "sale day".....
(50) 33RS-72 would be $642.00
(50) 33RS-84 would be $749.00
Total $1391.00

That is a lot of chains holy moly.

Here’s the anti - Sthil deal , https://saffordequipment.com/product/husqvarna-100-chain-c83-3-8-050-585550001/

I went through the pile of dead saws the other day and realised I had enough bits to combine a few ms170 / 180's into a working saw. All I needed at the end was a chain to suit the 14" 3/8LP 050 bar I have.

Picked up some ordered parts from the Stihl dealer and asked for a chain. $39.20. F that.

Went to a independent shop and get offered Oregon 91VXL for $12 per loop or carlton N1C for $10 per loop.

Gave the guy the $40 in cash I had on me and got 2 loops of both. I don't care how good the Stihl chain might be, I'm sure these 4 loops will last longer.

Best to buy a spool of it and make ur own, it works out in ur favor quite well,

Well that is generally right but in @Squish9 case I will disagree.

A 100 foot spool will yield (31) 50 drive loops. He paid $10AUS per loop for his. So (31) chains would be $310AUS out the door. Now you have to take into account in US cash he only paid $6.75 per loop so that would be $209.25 out the door. Right now a 100ft reel of 91VXL is $480US plus shipping from Baileys.

Those chains will honestly last me 10 years, I just don't use much 3/8LP.

I got a great deal on it and the VXL cuts great
