  6. i sunk an 020 into the back of my left calf years ago, i was in the middle of a horrible pollard trying to flush a branch that no one would ever see, both feet were jammed in at the toes at angles that arent natural, i had branches in my ears,up my nose, jabbed under my oxsters it was raining and i couldnt see for sweat nipping my eyes. the nose caught and kicked back right into my calf, lucky for allround protection. I stopped using top handles after that, whiny underpowered saws that make you lazy, and swipe about like zoro. imho
