New Saw - learn his lesson with other people's kit ! K

I will say same as Khriss if you can get a new saw out of him do it , your saw 10 yr old and not worth fixing at that age, in my case it was a bit different as saw would only may be had 20 ltrs of fuel through it and it was just cosmetic damage, first thing i did when i stopped crying was take bar n chain off and started it up, it ran fine so that eased the pain a little, so your case either new saw or keep looking for a good replacement and keep other for the odd spare,,,,,,

You break it, you buy it. List price for new.
If you wrote off his digger would he be happy if you paid for a set of buckets and a track for his new one?
If you're teaching someone a lesson teach it once and teach it well.

I think u might struggle to get owt  out off the digger driver.

 

U should off never gave him permission to use ur saw anyway

Wot did u say to the boy at the time??

It might seem strange if u never said anything at the time. 

I would off been absolutely raging at the time.

 

Might not be wot u want to hear if saw was still going well, but in reality if u have worked that saw hard for 10yrs it doesnae really owe u anything.

Might have to take it on the chin and NEVER loan ur saw to anyone.

Could off been worse could off been a new saw he flattened

Had two idiots place new Stihl  saws in tracked Bandit feed hopper on a site, cos they didn't want to carry saws back to where I was tipping the chip lorry, they started tracking back n residual flow from tracking circuit drove feed rollers - drove saws into chipper blades...... I was looking at them across the site n thinking " why they stopped??? Why they jumping abt???" Walked back to two shredded 362s   ? k

Phew ! thought is was going to be a pair of good saws !?

Seen the dreaded orange chips a few times when I worked on the railways.

Saws were often carried in the hoppers as sometimes a long walk in

Luckily never happened to my saw, usually just the rear handle got slightly chipped
