Husqvarna Triobrake
Basically has anyone used one?

I must admit im more of an Stihl man. Im looking at buying my first saw and Husqvarna seem slighty cheaper. But having seen videos of this Triobrake thing, im thinking it'll help me improve my posture, technequie and keep me away from some bad habits. Also it seems alot safer

Heres the video

Re: Husqvarna Triobrake
What a load of tosh. Sick of this Health & Safety obsessed world; ever noticed how in reality safety is so overdone it's at the expense of health?! The stress of it all is flippin unhealthy.

Re: Husqvarna Triobrake
Considering he is a chainsaw instructor I thought he would know not to apply the chain brake voluntarily while the chain is still moving, I was always taught to wait for it to stop or I'll cause excessive wear!!
But I dislike the extra brake too, I see no problem with the current design, Its just going to get in the way.
