Your chainsaw pet peeves

[ayoungtexan]

Your high school lets people under the age of 18 run chainsaws?

If a parent or other adult is watching, then yes. The staff trusts me, as I’ve fixed lots of their broken tools

Guys cutting with the chain so loose it’s sagging 2” off the bottom rail.

I’ll add the 2nd half of this pet peeve for me... guys running chain so tight that it’s like a fuggin guitar string. Goodbye PTO bearing and crank. Lol

My pet peeve is saws chucked in the van with no scabbard!

Yes Sir!!
I have modded MS 660 and its Torque Monster, and has broken 3 start cords...everybody who replaced it, gave it a baby cord.
Finally replaced it myself---Problem Fixed!

I already ate 3 loaves of white bread and some brisket in preparation for doing that.

I thought the reason they were so long when new was for when you wear through it you can just the keep shortening the cord.

People who take the rakers down way too low, run the chain too tight and lean the saw up against the tree with the bar nose in the ground. Then b***h that the “junk chain tensioners” don’t last very long.

People who don’t mix their gas right...”I put 2 quarts and a little bit out of a 3rd in a 5 gallon can I think that works good”

Didn't notice that.
So add the chain and EXACTLY LIKE THAT!
Truth is, I'd never get close enough to check for a chain & he wouldn't get close enough to use it.....

Haters who ask a zillion questions about a saw you're selling, yet have NO intention of buying it!
Clandestine thieves who always whine, cry, or gaslight over a saw mailed to them---in order to get free stuff !!

People who say they are going to show up to buy a saw or parts and don't even have the courtesy to phone as to why they can't make it or change their minds, I no longer build my day around it and first come first serve as far as selling saws.- different generation than old school the way I was raised.
