Testing on chainsaw trousers

[MattyF]

Small saws yes , especially top handles but this 460 just chucked it out the back like it wasn’t there... maybe in a kick back scenario or run down it would of ? Even made a few more cuts before coming down and taking off the clutch cover and bar ... there was a little bit of thread wrapped on the drive sprocket but it had gone through every layer of Kevlar in the trousers like it wasn’t there.

Odd that. Every saw/trouser contact I've ever seen or had has clogged the saw by jamming the nose sprocket pretty damned quick and then stalling the saw. 

 

Just my own experience 

Did you watch the video Gary?

It hugely dependant on which saw,trousers and at what chatter the saws going at

No, couldn't stream where I was, but have seen a few where the saws cut through before.

Thinking about it, my experience is probably limited to mid range saws. I know I've never had/seen an 'incident' with a 66 or bigger. 

Maybe That's just because they're used a bit more cautiously
