    Totally unacceptable working/employment conditions. if, God forbid, you have an accident doing this kind of work alone, I’m not sure your employers insurance would pay out as industry best practice not observed. if you get badly cut or crushed you only have minutes . Sorry if this sounds harsh

    My experience with rot-tech chains was similar. i actually found the files good but the first time sharpening one of their chains took forever, as you described. it gets easier the second time but there’s always a few teeth that are a nightmare to file. the cost savings over proper chains is well lost in the extra time spent trying to sharpen them. my biggest issue with them was teeth top plates breaking off and that was only on small to medium saws, I would not risk using them on big saws. a dodgy chain is a safety issue, better buy quality . theres good value proper chains available from several advertisers on this forum .

    It’s a bit of a problem now on urban jobs . Almost all filling stations have closed their customer toilets cause of virus (best avoided anyway atm) and cafes all shut. almost had to poo in the chip box on Friday
