New stihl sharpener

[Mark Bolam]

Perhaps the Stihl product development guy should look at making a decent bar cover for a big saw.

 

As soon as I cut my fingers when one of their two-piece bits of plastic crap falls to pieces again I intend to sue them for every penny.

 

Mainly for ruining my sex life.

That looks like another nifty gadget i shall buy and put in chainsaw box and never use again. It does look very useful though especially for the bigger chains.

How hard is it to make a 48" bit of plastic.

[WoodED]

At a guess I'd say you file the chain with it?

 

haha ade me chuckle

That has got to cost literally pennies to manufacture!

 

£30 odd quid! bloody hell!

 

Like all chainsaw/arb kit, massivley over priced in comparrison to kit used in other industries.

 

How much does a plumber pay for a pair of stilsons?

 

How much does a sparky pay for a screwdriver?

 

How much does a builder pay for a bucket or a trowel?

I agree. Just to be pedantic though.......

A decent trowel made by marshalltown (the stihl/ husky of trowels) will retail in most outlets for around £40 for a standard brick trowel

You can also buy one for a deep sea diver which will probably be the exact same quality!

I would agree wholeheartedly with this.... how difficult can it be to make a bar cover that actually fits the bar?

 

Instead of supplying bars in cardboard sleeves on the shelf, sell them in plastic scabbards and charge an extra £5 for them, every time you buy a bar you have a cover that fits and for the same cost/packaging as the current cardboard packaging.

 

I've lost count of the ammount of times i've cut my fingers trying to get the scabbard onto my 880!

If you can’t sharpen a chain without one of these gadgets, learn to sharpen a chain without one of these gadgets.

 

Once you can do that buy the gadget if it makes your life easier.
