If that was meant as a pub it was awful!

Fair enough, but you get a free pair of boots chucked in...

Chainsaw Newbie - First time buyer, all advice welcome

God help me but him above is right here. As far as small homeowner type saws Stihl are far more user friendly. I started with an MS211. Still got it. Pulls a 14" bar well enough if you're just starting on smaller stuff. A tool is only as good as the care you give it, so keep it sharp and clean. Use good fuel and 2 stroke. Let the saw cut for you. Don't force it. Regarding training, the user manual has a pretty comprehensive basic starter guide. That with common sense and ppe should do you fine. -
Too bloody right. I skewered my palm on a steak knife because someone put it in the wash bowl facing up. Really messed up my favourite pastime.

Jesus Wayne, I'm sure they'll be good boots. You're telling me the only reason you bought them was for a pair of socks?! Ya tight sod!

You're either wearing it wrong or you have an abnormality most men wouldn't complain about.

From what I've read probably the Echo 620. The husky 560 seems the most popular 60cc saw at the moment, but the 361 was a torquey saw with smooth power, not a screaming madman.

They're too warm most of the time, good first thing in the morning though. Takes forever to dry out.

Anyone clicked on to the fact the owner had absolutely no obligation to get the tree pruned? If the neighbour wants it cut away, they can foot the bill.

Just got called out to our yard for the alarm. Was stalking about in the dark with an axe. Think a broom fell over in the lockup
-
Sorry to hear that Ben, you're not far from me. I don't have much of my own but if I can help in any way I'd be glad to.
-
I thought this was grindr?!
-
What saws are you running them on and what type of chain? I'll be looking forward to your findings.
-
You used them yet Steve? If they do a decent full chisel range it'll be great.
-
I hear Cameron's gardener uses an Echo.
-
It's also heavy and underpowered compared to the 550xp
-
They're not waterproof either. They really let the rain in. Pretty breathable though
-
Sorry. There are red bits too.
-
They're better than the butterfly. I can confirm the stories of green you've heard are true.
-
I do. Then again I've never lost a knife fight. "They pull a knife, you pull a gun. They send one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue."
-
Well I've got better chances there than getting one here!
-
Passed out from exhaustion was the last one I let slide. I won't be so soft next time mind...
-
It goes full circle mate, before long it'll start to kill you again, no matter how good you are!
-
Happens everywhere. I rarely hoover or wash up, but when I do I expect a blowie for it.
