I follow ken fox wall of death on farcebook and they put up this pic with what appears to be a chainsaw compressor(?) anyone shed any light on this?

That pipe isn't coming out of it, it's behind. It's an impact wrench for doing big stuff like HGV wheel nuts. There was one at an aggregates place where my mate used to be a mechanic. I assumed it was home-made but maybe someone was churning a few of them out because it looked just like this. A Husky saw body bolted up to a heavy duty impact wrench mechanism.

Well there we go, not home made after all. And not a Husky saw attached to it either but definitely a re-purposed chainsaw of some type (that's not a Stihl so I assumed it was a Husky)

The power head is an Emak (at least on recent-ish ones). Useful tools, I have 2 and use them a lot on railway track work, drilling holes for chairscrews, inserting chairscrews, and running fangbolt and fishbolt nuts.

 

The only problem is it's a big heavy tool (1" sq dr) and I'm getting too old to use one for a day without really, really regretting it afterwards.
