I have my chainsaw tickets and nobody has ever asked to look at them even when I got my 880 and that could do some damage in the wrong hands but as I dont have a climbing ticket I cant buy a top handle saw ,now thats mad

It does make sense though, the chances of you having kickback and hitting yourself with an 880 is pretty low. Take a little 14" top handle and it can kick back a treat with a badly sharpened chain. I think they bought in the rule to stop people with no experience buying a top handle as it's small and lightweight then taking their face off. 

 

In relation to Sviatoslav Tulin, You're right that the tickets don't mean much compared to experience but not having tickets means you're uninsured which if you're doing it as a business is a little irresponsible...
