Top handle saws

[Mark Bolam]

But fair.

They are a bit dearer but you can get one from Toolstation very similar tool. I got a Chinese one off eBay years ago, it doesn't get a lot of use but it still starts third pull and runs nicely. I have rebuilt the carb a couple of times due to my own fault but it's a simple enough machine to work on.

A customer mentioned this the other day he said he was going to buy one for a laugh and at the least he would use it for a chipper snedding saw.

 

It does make us look silly asking for certs for a top handle saw when people can just pop down to lidl and buy one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, mark wasn't referring to yourself but I remember  an puppet of a house holder somewhere  up country who use a ground saw at neck hight and guess what  happend .

Then the rest of us have more qualifications and legislation to follow

Every time a householder kills himself doing tree work a hundred housewives read about it and stop their husbands with the words “no you are not! We’ll get a pro in and pay him whatever it costs”

 

Its an ill wind…..etc.
