The "Now I like that" Thread

[Simondo]

Things you like that have been introduced and designed on saws over the years. Small to big innovations that make running them rewarding,enjoyable ,less arduous, and with the smile factor added.
Auto tune /m-tronic aside as a major change .... what makes you think "Now..that works well ...like that idea "
Forget brand loyalties ....anything that comes to mind lest we forget how much things innovate.

Il start the ball rolling.
The hole up the end of the crank in some Husqvarna saws for keeping the roller cage lubed with the cone end grease gun. Easy to do so a job less overlooked.

Spring antivibe. HD air filters.

Basic air filter design over the years has gotten way better.
Introduction of antivibe back in the early 70's as well as
electronic ignition in the late 70's.

Decompression.......plugs

 

[trooney]

A braking system with two points of attachment making it more stable and not the feeling that your goin' to rip it off when you reset it

 

[trooney]

Ohh..side mounted chain tensioner

 

[idiotwithasaw]

Snaps on the top cover for easy removal.

Standardized fuel and oil filling with the saw on its side.

 

[MarcS]

Oilers that don't pump oil at idle.

 

[Scotty Overkill]

Dual port mufflers and woods-porting. Yeah I know they ain't standard, but I'm betting they would be with some manufacturers if the EPA weren't such azzholes......

 

[KenJax Tree]

Flippy style screw in caps on the new Husky's and captivated bar nuts.

 

[idiotwithasaw]

Replaceable rim sprockets and inboard clutches.

 

[T.Roller]

Ohh..side mounted chain tensioner

You stole mine lol

 

[jake wells]

something that runs in less than 10 pulls and has a sharp chain.

 

[Brewz]

A built in screen on top of the saw so I could watch youtube videos of chainsaws while cutting firewood would be ace!

I also have a vote in for the side chain tensioner!

 

[jake wells]

captive bar nuts latched top covers side chain tensioner and fuel caps that don't swell to the tank.

 

[Simondo]

Oilers that don't pump oil at idle.

+1 on that ...and the flow rate adjustability for different bar lengths and conditions
