It was new ish but out of warranty,  like I said he'd not take stuff out of service to get things fixed and often would lie.. Yet would happily go around in a new car  (evo) 

  I'd do the same again if needed. 

 I do climb (and still do)  hence the whole question about overhauling or scrapping. 

 I was able to carry on doing the dismantle up the tree with a 42  13" bar..  As far as I'm aware employed people don't provide there own saws.. By chance took one of my saws that day. 

Hope this has cleared things up smart arse. 

 The owner of the company was a hunt.... 

I mean would you send your teams out with domestic saws, day in day out?

I used to sub to a bloke who's kit degraded over time and started to become really dangerous. He would just bodge it up (he didn't use it so it wasn't his concern, I guess) and have a go at people when that bit of kit wasnt used. I tried to explain the problems and I did take on the role of fixing the issue's as best I could and making sure everyone knew which bits of kit not to use. As things got worse and he cared even less I decided that it was best to get out of dodge and stopped working for him. 

 

He did go through a lot of employee's and thankfully there were no fatalities but plenty of minorish accidents. 

 

If anyone finds themselves in the same situation, don't waste your time trying to help them out, fook em off and don't look back.

334 was a lemon the 338 wasn't actually a bad saw , especially the last run off the production with bigger cc's

I had a 45cc 338 and I thought it was a bit pants to be honest .  The latest generation T 540 is a world apart .
