I could've been rich...

Great, simply stop the chain by waving your gloved hand at it

 

oooops, right upto the day it stopped working. now my fingers are all gone

 

And thats the problem with PPE. most safety equipment 'fails to safe' but PPE always increases the danger when it fails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All that aside, nice idea! Trying to work out why I didn't think of it.

[skyhuck]

Last year, I had a cracking idea. Went as far as looking at the ins and outs of getting a patent, then realised that I was somewhat lacking in money. Story of my life. Anyway, back in March of the year, a fellow in the US filed a patent for my idea. So I though I'd tell you all, so that when you buy a chainsaw equipped with this, you can tell everyone you know of the bloke who invented it!

 

 

 

Did you tell him about it???????

 

If not then it is HIS idea, not yours.

 

Some people talk about doing things, others get on and do them.

 

A guy who I get in occasionally, who business is not doing too well, once told me how lucky I have been to succeeded in my business, my response was, that the harder I have worked the luckier I have been

 

Some people make there own luck, some people make excuses.

i remember being a kid and drawing a picture of a set of training shoes with wheels that pop down and turn them into rollerskates.

I reckon i am owed a few quid by now:001_rolleyes:

[Mark Bolam]

Can you put these wires in your hands?

[Ian C]

Would probably be over sensitive and drive me mad with the chain brake applying when not needed. I think the current chain brake system works fine.

 

same here................re inventing the wheel IMO but cleaver technology.

[Cracker]

It must be great being so perfect:001_rolleyes:

Agree 100% mate. You could have taken the words right out of my mouth. There's a reason why I'm 22 and run my own business with some nice kit. It's because I get up at five every morning and work my socks off!

 

Re the idea- I'm not that bothered about it; it would only take off if done by one of the big companies. And a patent to keep them from finding a way around it would be big bucks. Just thought a few on here might be interested.

Would be nice if it stops you hitting nails etc in the timber too

the UK distributor of heely's is a mate of mine, that company begged him to take them for 2 years before he relented,, we're often joke about it,, the turnover figures are hilarious..
