Dead saws.. what are they worth?

[Mick Dempsey]

Must be an interesting procurement process.

I would be replacing certain climbers, rather than saws. K

[Mick Dempsey]

I always kind of thought climbers would have their own toppers.

A bit like mechanics own their own tools.

Zactly Dempsey!  

Bent bar  = didnt make the cut properly/ accurately. 

Cut strop  = didn't take proper care

Chain brake handle guard broke = smacking it thru crotches or hanging miles off harness. 

Air filter housings smashed  = see above. 

 

Seen enuff - an broke a few myself  ( oddly i paid fr them cos..... Well, you would.......)

Less so these days Mick, there are a fair few on the circuit that can barely afford the drive to work or buy a sandwich let alone buy a saw. A bit odd when you consider their earnings and that some of them still live with their parents. We had one a few years ago that was tipping our mix in his car to get home

When I first ‘qualified’ I had to use the firms 020s but I bought one as soon as I could.

 

I have met and worked with a few that sound a lot like the ones Bob describes.

A climber needs a personal saw, more so with the mini toppers. The bar and chain get bollocksed straight away when they get shared. Then they become pointless saws.

Can’t see any actual selling going on in this tread, so I’ll start:
I’m having a corona clear out. These two old engines used on a pedestrian grinder. Both popping & backfiring when they got removed so going for spares - make me an offer.
Also got a box of 357 and 372 spares that need to go, probably a few hedgecutters as well. Can post pictures.
