    Would it be economic to employ a climber to put the rope in at the right height to gain max mechanical advantage ? The principle of moments and all that .

    We had to fell some poplars close to the edge of the A27 were it goes over the Chichester canal . We had to start at 05:00 am on a Sunday when traffic was at a minimum . We got double bubble for that .

    About 30 years ago I changed a band on a 3120 that I bought second hand , it came broken . A bit of a faff ( skinned knuckles ) cocking the spring again . That is the only one I have ever changed . I know its there for a reason and I am happy about that , should there ever be a kick back , but I certainly don't snap it on after every cut or before I take a step . I don't start a saw with it on purely out of mechanical sympathy . I am 68 years old now so doing well not using one I suppose . ?

    Its actually a chain brake . It " breaks " when you " WHACK it on at every step . We are different .

    I blame the college that teaches this . Years ago there was no chain brake on a saw . ( I had a couple like this ) . It teaches you to be careful but not over the top . A bit of mechanical sympathy needs to be taught IMHO .

    I also have never snapped a brake band but then I rarely use the chain brake . I will probably go to prison for this but hey ... I'm not saying your guys are like this but have noted that most " young " users seem to snap the brake on at every opportunity and often at high revs . Makes me cringe when I hear it .
