I am guessing you are very careful rather than lucky ! :001_smile:

 

Or just less careless.. I know my saw is not built to be a wrecking ball hanging 4ft beneath me:rolleyes:, I cut things with it.. that's what the box says to do with it haha ;)

I must be lucky.. mine is 10 months old and doing just fine :D

 

I'm not a climber only cut my own firewood but I like to watch the videos and dismantles and it does surprise me the way some treat their saws in the tree just dropping them on a strop and dragging them round like an afterthought. I know if I'd paid the amount a 540xp or 210T costs I would be treating it a lot more carefully.

BUT ....the thing is you could do that with an 020/ms200t and all that would break would be the little plastic spigot on the chain brake handle which does not matter a hoot . If you are cutting and chucking you need to drop the saw and grab the limb and chuck it past the green house / plants / raspberrys etc .... Now you cant . :001_smile:

Good work positioning and correct cuts should allow for the saw to be clipped on before the need for grabbing the wood, the distance and targets are irrelevant.. that said people can't change work habbit over night. :D

I count myself amongst those that worked the old way.. since owning the t540 I've changed my habbit and look for better positioning.. I'm now convinced its made me safer. :D
